Why? Well because I’ll be moving and I don’t drive because of health reasons I have. I’ve been working for Target for over 6 years now. As usual for most people it started out good years ago when I started and then turned into shit. I’ve also had a lot of bad health problems of new brain tumor benign and hearing loss but not deaf while working at Target. I also hate how the GSTLs always go did you ask for red card, always ask for red card every guest. But I’m so use to the job that leaving is like ah crap now I have to learn something new at a new job I have to find. I am getting a hearing aid tomorrow but as I’ve said I got so use to the job it’s gonna be hard moving on to another job. I’ll be overall glad to quit though as GSTLs crap, guest crap on coupons no no why can’t I use more, you messed up on my Wic check, blah blah. You didn’t get the right stuff or you didn’t put the right stuff in the forward position so I could see it to put it on the WIC check you poor sap! I might have to get SSD or SSI anyway with my tumor and ear problem, I can only hear out of one ear and now I have tinnitus plus the loss of hearing so the hearing aid won’t do much help but some. Overall I posted this to say fuck Target I’ll soon be quitting after I return next week of getting my hearing aid.

(4) I have a team lead position in AP, and been with Target for 3 years. I have my bachelors degree and tons of experience. Since Ive been with Target id say 90% of the new ETL’s that are hired are from outside the company and there ages range from 22-25, with most of them this being their first FT career. Has anyone else noticed that if you’re a TL you’re basically stuck in that position. They set unrealistic exceptions for you to get to a “ETL” level, yet all these new hires don’t have to prove shit. Oh and who can forget about shity .50 – .75 cent yearly raises, but yet ETL bonuses are 3k plus, not including their raises, and they are always eating meals from restaurants nearby. basically IMO, if you’re not an ETL at Target, you’re stuck at your position and fucked.
Likes(72)Dislikes(16) I have worked for target for 2.5 years, 2.5 years too long. I work guest services I moved up from being a dreadful cashier. Well since i have became guest services only, i dont know maybe 6 months i have not had to deal with being a cashier, until now… what happened was, i hurt myself at work. I did not file for workman’s comp because i kind of liked working at target, most days… i told them i cannot.work cashier anymore because of my injury, it will only make it worse. I had told a few managers and HR this, well a few days later the new schedule is posted, for the first time in 6 months my ENTIRE weekly schedule is cashier. I phone HR and ask them if there was anything i could do? They said yeah no you need a doctors note saying that you physically cannot do it and then we will decide if we WANT to accomidate you. Really!?
Likes(10)Dislikes(8) so, I’ve only been working at my store for about 5 months . When I first got hired, I loved it, everyone was so nice and sweet and willing to help out, I mean we actually were a team. Now, all that shit went straight down the fuckin sewer with the rest of their dignity, and common fucking sense. So I’m the operator at my store and it fuckin sucks. First of all who in the hells idea was is to answer the phone “hi, thanks for calling target, can I help you find something?” that is the dumbest shit EVER.! Second of all, I’m so ready to leap through these fuckin phones and punch every bitch in the face. Ppl are so rude and disrespectful. They don’t understand that as an operator there are many things you can’t do, such as make ppl move any faster to find their item or just pick up the damn phone. News flash bitch your dumb ass is sitting at home making us look for shit for you. You are not our priority. Now, in some cases I will help them if it’s pretty busy in the store and they’re nice. But if you’re rude, I’m straight up hanging up on your ass.! The ppl on the sales floor are pieces of shit anyways because they don’t do anything and the dumb ass LOD’S wonder why we don’t make sales. But I absolutely hate the fact that ppl call and ask us to put shit on hold for them. Bring your lazy fat asses in the fuckin store you dumb ass, ass hats. This rant is nowhere near over. My fingers hurt.
Likes(23)Dislikes(22) I just hit my 90 days and I’m surprisingly holding on. The longer I work there the more I notice my coworkers’ disatisfaction with target as well. They bs their love for their job in front of new tm’s because they never know who might be a kiss ass and snitch. Last weekend I had what i deemed the worst shift ever at target, not only for me but for my fellow tm who was working toys who i will refer to as “bobby”. we were constantly being called on those damn walkies to see where we were in our zones only to be told we needed to pick up the pace (and help entitled guests, and respond to backup,and do 2 carts of go backs) so we said we would try becausse there was no guarantee that we would finish. I showed up thinking i was doing ad takedown so i took my break with the ad team. I was yelled at because i wasn’t supposed to do ads i just happened to come in at the same time as the ad team and be in the ad team huddle…bogus right. so i say fine and continue my job. LOD proceeds to tell me im going too slow and is concerned about me not finishing my zone…she sees that i completely redid the pens and pencils aisle making it look presentable and she’s like wow this looks great….with the bitchiest attitude i tell her “yeah, that’s why ive been so ‘slow’ today”
Likes(16)Dislikes(7) Fired after 23 years of bending over backwards for a company that wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire. I was a GSTL (glorified nanny) fired for leaving a check out on my closing shift. I have missed softball games, dance recitals, conferences, birthday parties, family get togethers, family vacations etc only to be fired for something that could have been a warning. I have seen and heard things from the ETL Team that could have got them fired. But I never wanted to make waves. From my STL asking me if one of my cashiers “is a fucking r****d” he also took produce out of the trash because he thought it was still ok to sell. STL also has meat department markdown meat for him and he will come back later to purchase. I have found cash office unlocked and never ever said anything. Fair and consistent they are not, but continue to preach that they are. BULLSHIT!!!! Target’s guest’s are so spoiled I was wondering when they were going to install a button in the bathroom when it was time to wipe their asses.
Likes(61)Dislikes(11) ok just to be clear i’m a cart attendant but do i only do that no i also do hardlines,cashier, electronics,food ave,and backroom(and i mean everything in the backroom) and i never bitch never but i never get any real recognition but the fucking lazy ass people who come in and get to take credit for what i do fuck them. Also I swear there’s a sign on my forehead that says Couponers come here because whenever im on the check lanes i get almost nothing but couponers come on now nobody needs that much fucking shampoo and by the looks of half of them they don’t use it
Likes(18)Dislikes(4) Oh target where do I even start with this awful hatrid. It is now to the point where I dread work and my 50 cent raise above minimum wage doesn’t do jack squat anymore. It all starts when I walk into the office before my shift to get a locker. I open one and it’s full of tuperware, I open another and it has a lunch box. Really?? Is it THAT hard you can’t possibly dig out a quarter and lock your fucking locker? There is a goddammed fridge for a reason also. I then hang up my jacket, which there really is no point because by the end of my shift its always on the floor anyways knocked off by employees who leave it there. I then attempt to punch in and let it beep at me for five hours and then walk onto the floor as cashier. I check to see what lane I’m on and set up my register with the 2 ten dollar bills they give you which run out after one “guest”. I hang my flimsy ass bags that never fail to stick together and end up all over the floor. Before I even have a chance to turn on my lane light I already have a line of people waiting to be checked out screaming “Are you open???” understaffed again I see. I mumble yes, and they start to unload their cart with mulitple of the same item that they will try and use their fake fraudulent $20 dollar off coupons for razors that don’t even match their item.
Likes(108)Dislikes(35) 1.) I was hired on for 25 hours and could not work earlier than 11AM. This was on my application and verified at the job offer. I said I would work 35 hours MAX and only rarely. I am a college student and have lots of fun diseases like fibromyalgia, wherein it LITERALLY kills me to be overworked. It was their goddamn HOBBY to over schedule me. Just me. I asked the other cashiers, making 20 hours a week like I wanted. Or my husband in hardlines, who is employed full time, requests a full 40 hours weekly, and got less hours than me. They scheduled me for a FULL WEEK of 8AM starting shifts at 40 hours (and my husband got off at 12AM-1AM, meaning I got to bed at 3AM after handling laundry & food and had to be up at 6:30AM). I made it clear to them we only had one car and lived kinda far away during hiring and the first week.

I think it’s safe to say Target has sunk to a new low. Everyday they seem to become worse and worse. I feel sorry for the mother and the family. No one deserves to go through with something like this. No parent deserves to lose their child let alone their only child. I wish the mother good luck with her lawsuit. Maybe this will shine a light on how horrible it is to work for Target to the public. Rot in hell Target!
