Target Sucks - We Hate Target and We Know We're Not Alone.

  • November 14, 2012 - Targetcansuckmybigthickmeatyone

    Such a fuuuuuuuunnnn place to work.

    I love my job. I love that I work with the laziest dumbest fucking fuckheads on the planet. But enough about the team leads and LOD’s. I love that there are many times when I come in a whole 2 to 3 hours before certain team members or team leads but since they like to kiss ass, they get their breaks and lunches before I do. I love the rude, ugly, fat, stupid fuckhead guests who constantly argue with me because they are all rocket scientists and know my companies policies on certain things a lot better than I do. I mean, after all, they are all welfare recipients, so obviously they are the authorities and the poster boys and girls for what a genius looks like..

    Black Friday Experiences

    Hello my fellow team members, since Black Friday is coming up next week I would like to know if anyone has any interesting stories they would like to share and if there have been any bad experiences dealing with “pests” on Black Friday. This year we open at 9pm which sucks for team members who want to spend Thanksgiving with their family and friends and not dealing with a stampede of guests. I also read online that there was a petition to get Target to push the opening time back to midnight or later instead of 9pm. I’m not sure if that petition would help or if it would make any difference but it is a bold move by many unhappy team members. I personally do not shop on black Friday and I wait till the crowds die down. I just hope that everything goes well next Friday and that no one gets trampled to death while doing their job. Please post and thanks for reading guys.

    Treated VERY Unfairly

    I worked for Target over a year ago ,but I am still completely disgusted by the was I was treated. I hired into a store as a Senior Team Lead over Softlines and I didn’t really have any issues while I was there. Unfortunately, that store closed 3 months after I hired in, so I had to either take a buy out package or transfer. I ended up transferring to another store closer to home, and that was the BIGGEST mistake of my life. Before my transfer went through, the management at the new store wouldn’t even tell me what depertment I would be overseeing- it was some BIG secret… My first day working at the new store, I knew that I was going to be miserable… All of the ETL’s acted like snotty high school kids. If you did’t “fit in”, they would talk about you behind your back and make your life miserable- I witnessed them talking badly about another member of management on my first day there.

    After I was there for about a week, they decided to put me in charge of Presentation. I had never done anything in presentation on a large sccale before, but they expected me to perform my job like a seasoned manager.  My ETL would constantly get on me about my team’s performance, but I had no idea what it was they were supposed to be doing!

    Oh Target, you’ll never change

    I’ve been working at a target in califronia the past couple months. And it’s amazing how one night I can really like it, and feel very confindent and the next night feel like i’m going to be fired the next day i show up for work. I work in both softlines and hardlines and like both just the same.

    Besides pretty much doing the impossible every night, you know zoning not only your area but someone elses because of all the callouts that happen on any given night it’s daunting. Not just that but just the little rules around the store.

    I think this will just be a general rant but geez does this place need to change a few things.

    Target Employees Hump Each Other. True Story.

    I don’t work for Target anymore, yet my loathing for the company still clings to me like a dingleberry that I just can’t seem to get rid of. I went into my old store the other day and saw my ex-Store Team Lead sitting on his fat ass in Food Avenue, heightening his cholesterol by cramming down a hot dog and soda. Leaning over his table like a dirty little whore was a Senior Team Lead who he’d banged the shit out of like she was Jenna Jameson. He was married at the time of their lengthy affair, yet this chick’s definitely hotter than his atrociously-hideous wife. So in order to move up the ladder, said Senior Team Lead thus rode said Store Team Lead like Seabiscuit. And him, being ugly and fat with an ogreish wife said, “Hell yeah, let’s hump!”

    To preface this a bit with unnecessary information, “Dirty Whore” (as I will refer to her) has a constant camel toe.

    Black “Thursday”

    So apparently Target is opening at 9PM on Thanksgiving Thursday. Glad to see that they value their employees spending time with their families during the holidays.

    This is disgusting. I guess you can’t expect anything else from them though, right?

    Awesome quitting stories

    So granted we all hate Target (why else would we even be here) but anyone have any good quitting stories that they did or they witnessed, or hell lets throw in feasible what ifs.

    I suppose I should go first so I was playing around one day with the Idea of getting Tattooed on my ass the following “Target can suck my (arrow points to my chocolate starfish)” and pretty much would go around my executives “office” (more like a closet) saying “Fuck you I quit, I hate this place so much I permanently marked my body with a message to you all” and then proceed to drop trow and moon the dumb bitch. I never did it of course but man that would have been funny.

    Another Idea that came to me was gathering up all the PDA’s and crushing them in the baler and just walking out.

    That’s all I feel like typing for now come one someone else indulge us with some humorous stories.

    Treated Unfairly

    So I used to work at Target (2008-2010). I was hired as seasonal and loved my job. I moved overnight to get a full time position on the planogram team. There was 7 (including my team lead) of us on this team and thank goodness we were not an overnight store because than we would get nothing done. Out of the 6 (I took myself out of the count here), 2 of them right away hated me for talking to someone who was in high school. Really??

    WTF is their problem?

    Second post. I just had to write again after reading a lot of posts by other people. I’m seeing a common theme of write-up happy managers. I experienced it myself. It felt like the natural assumption was that I was a person with bad intent and that I should be treated as such.

    So I’ll ask the group..what do  you think the real problem with Target is?

    My building theory is that the sentiment comes from the top down from the Board of Directors and CEO level. But, their materials all paint a different story of appreciating the employee. I don’t get it.

    Is it that the company is so large that management is basically out of hand?

    Do they suppose the employees are the stupid, criminal, and irresponsible 47%?

    Have they simply not hired enough people with trained people management skills?

    Are they somehow setting people up to fail?

    Is there rampant jealousy?

    What, in your opinion, do you think the main problem is since many of us have had similar experiences?

    It sounds like we are all describing damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don’t experiences and that we’re basically good, hard-working people. Are they just trying to brainwash people to feel that they don’t deserve better and who are grateful to continue being worked to death and for such low wages?

    Goodbye new job.

    I”m writing about my experience here because I absolutely cannot tell my family or even some of my friends the truth. They won’t believe it and will think I”m exaggerating (judging by the response I got when I told them about the first thing that went wrong–they said I was “unreliable” and really needed to grovel and get on their good side.)

    I quit yesterday.

    I was still technically in training. I was hired as a seasonal employee at $8.50/hr.

    Trouble started on the very first day. Trouble that shouldn’t really have been TROUBLE kind of trouble. But, at 48, I have seen the signs before of a culture that could be trouble.

    Our training group was large (12 ppl). We were asked to provide our 2 forms of ID. I have my SS card and driver’s license. The young HR trainer came back with a look as though she had caught me trying to pull a fast one. “I’m going to need ID that isn’t expired.” ??? “I’m sorry? What is the matter?” “Your driver’s license is expired.” It was kind of embarrassing in front of an entire group, but nothing I couldn’t deal with. I took a look. My license had expired just about 1 month to the day prior. I had moved and didn’t realize it and didn’t receive paperwork in the mail. Not like I had been running from the law from another state for years. “Oh, okay. Wow. I’ll go get it updated.” The class was great and laughed and teased me a little. She was not amused. “I will not be able to allow you to continue with a valid form of identification.” Ok, got it. “Ok, would it be better for me to join the next round of new trainees next week then? I’ll go to the DMV right now.” “No, just know that I cannot hire you until you do.”  ??? So on it goes about me being sort of the problem person.
