  WTF do the LOD’s and TL’s actually do at this store????

  I’m starting to wonder if this is how they promote at my fucking piece of shit store. LOD #1::” Hey, see that lazy ass looking mother fucker over there?” LOD #2:”Yeah, what about him?” LOD #1: “Well, see how he is standing there doing nothing and scratching his ass, and picking his nose? I think he might be a good candidate to be our next TL over in Hard Lines.” I swear, this place is a fucking joke and I seriously think this is how they actually decide to do the promotions since I have yet to see ANY Team Lead or LOD EVER do any ACTUAL WORK. The fact that these lazy mother fuckers can stand around and bitch to everyone about how no one is working harder or faster is beyond me. Hey dumbfucks, how about getting out on the sales floor and do some actual “hard” work (we all know that the concept of this is an oxymoron to the LOD’s at Target) so that we know just what the fuck you are all talking about. There are 2 new team members at work there, and I swear, 1 of them is a child molester, and the other 1 acts like he belongs in a mental health care facility, but there are both buddy buddy with the GSTL, so I know they are both going to be the next 2 people to get the promotions.  I clocked into work one day and just jumped on a register, and this is pretty much my scenario every shift: GSTL:”So, how many RED cards have you gotten today?” Now, at this point, I don’t even fucking care about getting fucken RED cards anymore because they don’t treat me with any type of respect whatsoever, so I figure, since they all want to ass rape me and not have the decency to at least lube up first, then I can at least return the favor to them by fucking them over in whatever way I can. Me:”Me? None, I just clocked in 30 seconds ago.” GSTL:”Exactly, I expected you to already have 237 by now, and 5 minutes from now, I want you to at least have 1369 RED cards, we gotta make the quota.” Oooooooooooooohhhh, Whoopdie-Fucking-Doo, the quota.

  Bulls eye for the bulls shit!

  There is a few and I mean very few good things I will say about Target, as a GUEST not as a over worked employee. I will admit, Targets items, clothing, decor, the Archer Farms brand, and the seasonal area are the things that I do like. Their things are just different and stand out, better to decorate my home with. Enough of that praise they do not deserve.

  Admitting again, I worked for Walmart before I worked for Target. Why did I leave Walmart? I moved in with my fiance, who was or is rather going to school in a different state at the time. I thought he only had a year left, I thought I can be strong and live without him for a year. I took it as a test of our relationship at first because I was ok going to see him and such but 6 hour drive can be expensive every month. 100 dollars average gas only. That is a lot of money that I could have saved. Anyway, I left Walmart because for the life of me I could not get a transfer to any of the 4 surrounding Walmarts there. None were taking transfers, I tried this run around with them for 3 solid months, calling, holding forever, getting hung up on, even physically making a trip to talk to the HR and still nothing! That is the ONLY reason I left, I had no choice but to venture out and find something else before I wanted to move.

  So I landed at Target, at first I could only think, finally a job now I can move and get on with our lives. I have been here for a month maybe a little more. My first few days were not like how some of the stories on here are, they start out something along the lines of at first everything was going good. Not for me it wasn’t, the total opposite it was. I work in softlines, which is anything on the carpet. Including all clothing, shoes, baby basics (diapers, car seats, formula, and such) and accessories/jewelry.

  wtf? seriously? target fires pregnant women without batting an eye

  So I made it to two months of employment at this hell hole of a store.

  I was hired in October as a deli production team member. This is where the bullshit begins. I had applied as a cashier but was convinced to accept a deli position under the impression (lying by omission) that this position was not seasonal and was full time. Later on I was informed that basically “everyone is seasonal since you all start on a 90 day probation”. Fair enough. Little do they tell you that’s just code for they can fire you for any and no reason.

  I took the position and was assured if I felt uncomfortable I could always ask to change my department. Okay, great. Not. They began to work me to death immediately. Long days. Many days in a row. Little days off. i thought things were going well. I was working the same pace as my peers. I was happy. Then I got my performance review. I was told I was “too slow” and “not engaging the guests enough” but that if I improved i stood a chance. So I tried harder. I thought things were going well.

  approximately one month after my hire I found out I was expecting. My fiance and i were overjoyed. Still are. I told my coworkers and my leaders. Then i got called in for coaching. Once again the “you’re too slow” speech. I told my lead that i was fatigued because im pregnant. I was assured that she would help me and find me a department where i would he able to take it easy until my baby was born.

  Fast Fun and Friendly, my ass

  So I took a part time job at Target for some extra holiday money . I figured since I shopped there pretty frequently, having an extra discount would come in handy . Let me also preface the rest of this by saying I’m a 40 year old with a degree and and have worked my fair share of bullshit jobs in my life . Unfortunately nothing could have prepared me for the soul sucking black hole that is Target . The first few weeks weren’t so bad . The pay completely sucked but I was being paid to pull merchandise forward . A fucking monkey could do my job . But then, shit changed as the weeks went on . The one thing I learned real fast was that if you actually do a decent job at work, you’ll end up doing all the hard tasks they don’t want to give to the other lazy fuckwits. Great. I get to work twice as hard for the same pay. Who wouldn’t want that sweet deal?

  Next up . The awesome LOD’ s . Seriously, what a bunch of incompetent, rude, corporate lackeys. I actually had one of mine tell me “Less talk, more work” while customers, I mean “guests” were right in earshot . Seriously, you twat? Who the fuck talks to someone like that? Oh, I’m sorry . God forbid I derive any pleasure whatsoever from this job . It’s almost like they’re trying to weed out the non obedient sheep from the herd by being such complete dicks. You want respect from me? How about treating me with some respect asshole. Maybe it’s because when time for recognition comes around I never open my mouth . Take your Vibe cards and shove them up your ass too.

  OH TARGET!

  “Hate” is such a strong word but lots of bulls eye people(current and past team members) truly hate Target from the cart attendant who has to clean up that guest’s shit and piss in the rest room before he can find time to wipe his own ass to the cashier who puts up with these ignorant lying disrespectful  customers to the sales floor team member who is sometimes robbed of his breaks because he is the only one in Hardlines. “Can I help you find something?” Bitch please. Give it a rest already. I need my fucking  break! If you think slavery is abolished think again!! Think TARGET!!! Working at some of our local area Targets is like working in the cane fields in Africa. You see, the heating and cooling systems are horrendous–well fuck it no cooling really the stores are just plain HOT! ALL YEAR ROUND! Worst yet for the cart attendants who has to face the heat outside and then inside the store at summer time Team members and guests alike are bitching and complaining!

  The Mega Bitch

  I have had some infuriating ETLs in the past, but none as bad as Mega-Bitch we’ll call her. She transferred to my store late September-early October and my life in Hardlines has become a living hell. Now, I’m sure I’m not the only one who becomes the ETLs punching bag bot God damn! enough is enough! Big flipping whoop if I take a few bathroom breaks during my shift and who the balls cares if I don’t respond to the lanes or call boxes quick enough. IT’S. STILL. GETTING. DONE! And now vicariously through my team leader she has the gall to threaten my job and his if I don’t turn things around? well forget that! I’m not going to give that cock-juggling thunder cunt the satisfaction of firing me! Once the holidays are over I’m outta there and hopefully on to somewhere employees are treated fairly.

  My problems and my cry for help.

  I have always considered myself a sincere person, a noble person, a kind person and a real person.

   

  I have worked for target for about 6 years. I started at a young age, and consider the place to be a part of my upbringing. There were both pleasant and unpleasant experiences, but recently I find myself in a dilemma but first let me explain to you my target history.

  I started as a cashier and slowly moved my way up to guest service and GSA. After my third year of working there I realized that my hard work wouldn’t get me anywhere, and the workers that they like and dislike are the workers that they decide to either terminate or promote, regardless of their work ethics and accomplishments. When I demoted myself from being a GSA (because I found that doing a TL’s job for 50 cents wasn’t worth the stress) and because I hope that target wouldn’t be my career( I was continuing in school) and because some of their managing methods also. After this I became a cashier, I told my HR ETL that I no longer wanted to cover for GSA/GSTL and no longer wanted to be at the service desk and cover breaks. I wanted to be a simple cashier. She agreed to my demands and everything was back to normal. After a year had past and target and its’ unorganized ways, I did warm up to the idea of covering for GSA/GSTL, Service desk, Food Avenue, Starbucks and along with helping the floor out when needed, helping the GSTLs fix the registers and kiosks along with other duties that no one wanted to do like help the cart attendant with spills, pukes, and stool.

  Well hey there shit minimum wage job!

  So I’ve only been working at Target for a week but I can already tell that this job is going to be a complete shit show in which I either end up fired or going insane and burning the entire place to the ground. I started working there because I graduated from college last May. I’m planning on going back to school for a graduate degree in the fall but until then I need something to pay the student loans sooo… hello there crap minimum wage job I thought I was done with this bullshit when I quit Pizza Hut after graduating from high school.  But as a side note I honestly have to say that working for my alcoholic boss and with my constantly high coworkers at Pizza Hut for $7.25 an hour was way better than the soul sucking back stabbing jack ass team leaders at Target.

  So I do my orientation where of course everything is sunshine and daisies we love you, you’re special because we chose you from hundreds of applicants, you’ll just love Target idiocy. Although I have to say that the poorly veiled anti-union video tipped me off to the fact that their fairytale land of rainbow sprinkles was probably complete donkey shit. But whatever, I needed the money and it isn’t like this is supposed to be the rest of my life. Anyway I show up to work the first day I’m scheduled for training. I get there and the shift manager is looking at me like what the hell are you doing here? Um… well you scheduled me for training on cashier. Remember? So she sends me off to stand at some register where I’m left for like half an hour having to explain to all the customers who show up that no I’m not open and actually I have no fucking clue how to even ring them out sorry so much for the inconvenience. Finally the training manager comes striding up except she’s not actually looking at me as she says hello she’s staring at the guy in the register next to mine. So of course I don’t respond thinking she’s not talking to me because you know, regular people actually look at the person they’re introducing themselves to. Except then she says it again louder now sounding completely offended and like I’m some kind of idiot. So I now I of course feel like a complete moron and like I’ve already gotten off on the wrong foot and naturally get a little flustered and awkward. This BITCH then has the nerve to look at me dead in the face and ask me if I’m feeling all right today.  Um well I was fine until I got here so I guess it must be this place you ASSHOLE.

  Why the fuck did I start working here?

  When I first started working for Target I was sort of happy and glad to have a job with people. What the fuck was wrong with me. I have been with this shameful company with dishonest practices for 4.5 years. I have been harassed, bullied, stalked, belittled, and treated like straight up shit for trying to do whats right and fair. My STL is a bitch and she needs to work around the store more to burn off some extra hundred pounds or more. The ETL-LOG is a cunt for the most part who tries to sleep with team members and gossip about others just to start shit. She also is a back stabbing lying fuck tard who will actively insult someone for trying to be nice. ETL-HR is a waste of “resources” because he has never worked HR before and won’t grow a set to help out the “team”. ETL-Hardlines is fresh out of college, which his father is an STL so go figure he got the job, wants to fuck all the slutty girls but wants they bring him drama he tells them to get back to work and that he is busy.
