Tarshit SSTL (shit store team lead) Attention college students. We want you to finish school… really we do. PLEASE don’t take a job from another company. Come to Target! We will work with your schedule… until you actually put the request in.
So, I was told “we encourage students to work here, but we ask for open availability”
I explain, “I will be open availability for the next 3 months, and then my semester will start. Here is my availability afterwards.”

Me: “I was offered a job at Walmart for $10.15 but am interested in working at Target instead.”
(3rd) Interviewing Manager: “As long as you have good performance record, after your 90 day evaluation we can revisit your pay.”
Me: “Ok, I will work for $9 an hour and perform well.”
–90 Day Evaluation–
Me: “How is my performance rating?” (cause nobody wanted to go over it with me)
ETL: “Good news, we are keeping you on, there are no negatives on your record.”
Me: “Ok, are we able to match the Walmart pay offer now?”

This site shouldn’t have to exist, but we’re all here and disgruntled for a reason. Some of us have really busted our asses for this company, sticking things out when they were tough, only to be betrayed with low wages and slave driving leadership who got there by being pretty and/or kissing ass. I knew things were bad, but didn’t realize to the extent that this company is going down the shitter. Time to bail out. Let these idiots crash and burn!

I would corral stray carts and collect the overflow of shopping baskets at my register. When they came to collect my hangers, I made sure I put the hanger bin on my checkout counter so that they didn’t have to bend down to get it. When they handed me boxes of bags, I took the boxes from them and put them under my counter myself. I yielded to them when they were maneuvering lines of carts. There was so much witchiness in my store that I had to be nice to someone, so I chose to bestow goodness on them. The CAs were always nice to me, so they deserved it. Saying a prayer for them all that they will eventually find better gigs than Target.

While it makes sense that it is to keep things secure, it is very inconvenient that it not only asks you to change your password, but it forces you to do it at the store itself. The entire point of the MyTime app [if you can even call it that] is to be able to do this crap at home. So it recognizes you want to change your password, but it decides ‘Nope, won’t go through’ unless you’re at the store’s backroom to do it.

Also, Target taints the color red, and I will never be able to look at it again without thinking of the hellish time I spent there. Now that I’ve quit, I am going to build a bonfire so that I can burn my uniforms in effigy.

I lost my job a year ago, and I took one at Target at my husband’s insistence because we were in a bad place financially. Although I was grateful for the extra money, the truth was, I never wanted to work there because I instinctively knew it would be awful. Where to begin with the awfulness? I’ll try to be concise.

I even stayed when 5 other backroom members quit. One morning there wasn’t any flats or tubs to do auto fills. So I backstocked, so I could pull items. I had pets left to pull, the flow team was finished unloading the truck (706am). So I went to see if a vehicle was empty so I could use it, well there was, 5, 2 tubes,3 flats. I took one, and then the receiving lady (Jackie b.) Started yelling at me saying I couldn’t take it. I told here I was going to drop it off and bring the tub back. She yells no, then I told her I was. She kept on arguing, so I said “this is stupid” and I walked off. Then I was asked into the office, that’s when lod (casey s.)and HR asked me why I assaulted her by pushing her. I DIDINT DO ANYTHING. HR said they had me on camera, but when I asked to see it, they said they didn’t have to show me. So it was my word against hers. She won cause she’s a bitch. I called 2 attorneys and they said I was fired cause of being there that long and making 11.82/hr, since I wasn’t arrested. Now I work at a worse place called Walmart, sucks. I shows that it doesn’t matter how hard you work, you’ll still get fuucked in the ass.

Therefore I usually give my hours away to people who want them and my STL got upset because I do it too often and she will count them as Call Outs! I don’t understand the logic in that because Im giving hours away therefor someone will come in regardless…so I don’t see the problem what do you guys think I should do?, because i still have a good half of the semester left and my school is the main priority.
Likes(10)Dislikes(2) So I’ve been working at Target for almost 2 years now and it has been the most miserable place to work at. I work in electronics but hardly get to stay in my department. Rather than going through the list of issues and problems I’ve dealt with, I will spare you the details because it would be quite lengthy. However, I wanted to post here and see if anyone has any ideas about some survey I had to take. So I’ll start here..
