So, I quit working at Target over a year ago. I was primarily sales floor but got cross-trained in every other area except backroom. As soon as I quit Target, I began dating a guy I knew on flow team. It’s been over a year since we began dating and he’s still slaving away at Target. He’s been there for over 2 years now and has really only done logistics.

(8) Before I get started here’s some background on myself. I’m a very loyal employee. I don’t just quit, I always give notice. I have always worked at a place longer than 3 years. Not Target though. See, I got hired and at orientation they bragged about the atmosphere of Target being a great place to work. Now being in retail for 11+ years I should’ve know what a farce that was, but I digress. I have never seen such awful management.
So I am the type of person that gives everyone a chance. I mean everybody is entitled to a bad day and I just don’t base opinions on rumors and first impressions. But my God.

Got hired while I was on summer break from college, but I made sure to tell them multiple times that my open avalibility would only last untill school started up, I went so far as to submit my schedule over a month in advance.

Likes(12)Dislikes(25) So I’ve been at Target for almost 7 months now at store #1531 and I would have to say the ‘training’, or I should say the LACK OF TRAINING at store #1531 is a bunch of shit. They essentially hired me to do the electronics department but when I was brought on board they had me working Domestics/Furniture instead of Electronics and didn’t even give me any equipment to even do my fucking job, and when I did I couldn’t even log in for the 2 weeks of ‘training’. Afterwards I got shoved into Electronics and was pretty much thrown out to the wolves with absolutely no additional training at all.

A few of the other cashiers were pretty friendly with me and I learned to keep up with my tasks as a cashier pretty quick (our cart guy doesn’t take care of the hangers or the inside cart organisation at all, so the cashiers take turns doing it). But after I finished my training, things went downhill pretty quick.
Likes(46)Dislikes(20) OK for the past week I have been trying to get my password and username so I could set up direct deposit to my account, yet none of my management has been able to help me(haven’t even been given a permanent employee card) and there is nothing in my orientation materials. Where the fuck is it?
Likes(9)Dislikes(5) As the title says yeah I was fired for attending a funeral. I had been a employee for Target for just a few days under 6 months. Only called out maybe twice the entire time I was working there. In the middle of my 5th month my grandfather had taking a turn for the worse and on my day off I went to see him in the hospital where he passed away. 15 minutes after his passing I went out to the parking lot and called my store I was able to speak to my assistant team lead who completely understood the situation.
Likes(20)Dislikes(17) Sexual Harassment in the Backroom:
One of my best friends was in dire need of a job due to their family having money problems. They worked in the backroom, particularly in PFresh after being moved off hardlines. Our store backroom is mostly men, and a very sexist environment at that… Despite my friend being female-bodied, they are a hard worker with a very good work ethic.
Likes(18)Dislikes(45) As the title says… I’m looking for an up to date employee handbook.
If you could please take a bunch of pictures or scans and upload via IMGUR or as a PDF on Google Drive, that’d be much appreciated
Thanks in advance 😀
