So I punched in my number today to start work, the HR TL asked me in her office as I walked by, turned around, came in said oh you said my name? “yeah”. So she started saying “We would just like to know everyone’s hours availability for the upcoming holidays.” Asked about Thanksgiving, black Friday after Thanksgiving, day before Christmas, Christmas whole week, Christmas Eve. We all get Christmas day off of course, all businesses everywhere are closed mostly. Target and Walmart are closed anyway. I said yeah I’m available at all times, anytime, I don’t have a big family, it all works, no configurations needed, I’m available all of those days, no problem. She than asked if I would even accept overtime during the holiday months if and when needed for extra help, I said yes to that also. So apparently now over time is still not acceptable as no one ever gets over 40 hours on the work hours sheets of course we all know, but apparently during this holiday season overtime can be done! OMG, so I’m gonna be exhausted and hussled and doing a lot of work, but the thing that keeps me working even though the job sucks and I hate talking to random people is thinking about money. First off, I get paid holiday pay (time and a half) pay and I get more hours than I ever have before. I’ll be faking the generosity even more this holiday season as I get paid big bucks and time a half pay and overtime pay also! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

(6) One week shy of my 90 day review, I quit. I have had enough of that place. I am sick of the nit picking, the bitchy attitudes and people being so damned two faced. It is awful.
I called up and talked to the HR ETL and I told her I wasn’t going to be coming in anymore. Before I could say any more she got a really snippy attitude and said “That’s fine. We were going to let you go on your 90 day review anyway”. Good freakin’ riddance to you too, asshat!
Likes(3)Dislikes(0) I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it when Target hires new cashiers and sales floor team and rush train train them leaving them to fail. I hate it. I hate it when Target puts a new ETL G.E in place and they do not know how to help a guest sign up on the register for a red card! Are you fucking kidding me? I hate how the cart attendants get overused and abuse and tossed around especially during summer time and all the etl’s must think they are too grand to help out cleaning the rest rooms. I hate it when hard working and productive team members get overlooked around review time but the lazy ass kissers get the better raises. I hate it when Target demonizes, harrasses and stresses out its team members with the red card card but they are always an epic fail when it comes to fixing the bad morale in their stores.

I’ve been working for Target for two years now.
I’m actually happy to report that some things have gotten better. And, well, some things have gotten worse. But that’s Target for ya, huh?
Likes(2)Dislikes(1) I hate you with a passion and I can’t say it enough! Starting from the STL to all her little ugly ducklings following behind her like lost little puppies. Only cause they have to not because they want to. They have to kiss ass and worship the ground she walks on.
Theyre all the same kind of like programmed little robots, saying yes master! I really wanna say exactly what I know about each and everyone one of them but I don’t wanna get anyone in trouble because the ETL’s start blaming people and find an excuse to write them up.
Oh and today they had a “salsa” contest to see who made the best salsa can you believe that shit lol, get a life! No one else was involved but the same people nothing but TL’s, ETL’s and senior team leads, give me a break is that really a “team” event? That doesn’t sound FFF to me.
Lames!
Why don’t you guys have a competition about which Etl gets the most red cards come on bust your ass for once, lead by example on a store activity level not some lame ass chili cook off or salsa contest.
Great way to milk the clock by hanging out in the break room to have people sample your shit. Too bad corporate doesn’t see video footage of how the ETL’s “work” fucking joke.
Likes(2)Dislikes(0) I am of course an hourly employee, not a fancy team lead or ETL. Although I’m confidant I can do the job of both. Oh wait, I do my TL’s job. Do I get paid for it? Of course not. Does anyone show me any appreciation? Hell No. I actually loved this job, okay I semi-enjoyed it when I first started over a year and a half ago. Now I’d much rather stay home and cry than go to work. My team lead is team lead in two departments, and has absolutely no idea what he/she is supposed to do in Food Ave. He/She has been team lead for over a year and just recently was forced to begin working in FA after a significant amount of complaining and a few crying sessions on my teams part. He/She expects me to do everything for him/her, but only gave me a 12 cent raise, the lowest in my department this year. Seriously!? How can someone who never works with me give me a raise and a review? He/She said I was rude to guests. Of all the people in my department, I am actually the only one who has never been rude to a guest, no matter how difficult that may be. And he/she cut my hours and gave more hours to two newer employees. This job has become a joke. I cannot wait until I can submit my two weeks.
This site is probably going to keep me sane and from quitting! Thanks for the great vent session!

Likes(0)Dislikes(0) You ever call in sick? I gotta say working front end is the worst job of the store. Talk about overworked and underpaid. Constant people, constant jackasses about no it said buy one get a $5 dollar gift card. No, I checked, zapped the item twice to check for them, red card screen comes up. Don’t believe me, GSTL tells them exact same thing cause that is the truth, buy two of this, get a $5 gift card. Holly snaps man, it’s so hard for these crack people to believe the truth, especially when they don’t read that small print.
Likes(4)Dislikes(2) My first complaint is having two days sliced off my schedule because “we’re not making sales but September will be better.” September rolled around and instead of giving veteran workers more hours, they hired a ton of new guys. Our hours still aren’t up. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have us work longer and NOT hire new people? I’ve been working with Target off and on since 2006. When I went to college and came back, there was no reward for higher education, only “starting wage”. I never saw a raise. Ever.
Likes(2)Dislikes(0) FOR THE RECORD: this is me, Cloud. Now no one needs to be blamed for stuff being posted on here. I, myself was blamed for posting on this site and yes they were all wrong because like I said: this is really me on this post now. Whoever posted all the other stuff was not me but who cares. The point I’m trying to make with me posting in here with my true identity is simply because I can and it’s really sad that even though this is a public website innocent people get blamed for the posts on here. Like I said I was the first one to get blamed. At first it was kinda funny how quick they are to point fingers and assume who’s doing this.

My TL is the biggest bitch and I am over it. As of today I decided that I am quitting in exactly 30 days. If I didn’t need the money and time to look for another job, I would have quit today.
1.) The second I get into work as usual, my TL books it for her lunch. Her boyfriend was waiting in the Starbucks lobby to go on lunch with her. An hour after she leaves for her lunch, I’m wondering where she went and ask another girl in the area if she has seen her. The first question I am asked, “Is her boyfriend here?” Apparently its NORMAL for this bitch to take hour long PLUS lunches when he’s in the store? Yet she gets all snarky if someone is even a minute late from their lunch?
