I started working inbound, 4 am shifts a little over a month ago. At first, I was doing what I thought I would be. I put my hours requested for 20-24 hours a week, and started doing multiple 4 hour shifts every other day. It was great- get there early, leave the store at 8 when the store opened. Then, December hits. Immediately my hours are going up to an insane degree, working multiple 8 hour days as opposed to my 4 hour days. I am so fatigued by the end of my shift its insane. The other day, I had two team leads come and complain to me that I wasn’t moving fast enough for inbound- that I needed to be unloading Uboats in 20-40 minutes, tops. In my mind, I’m thinking, what the fuck? It usually takes an hour or longer for a large/filled Uboat unless its larger items. After the first team lead I thought it was fine, but when I had a second guy come, who started hassling me saying I needed to have a sense of “Urgency” and even TIMED ME on how long a flatbed would take to unload. They’re saying it should average 1 minute per box, so he gave me 25 minutes. I’m having to rush to even get this stuff in its place, not to mention the store was open at the time- having to not get in the way of customers. It was awful. He kept talking on the radio as well to check in on me, constantly keeping me moving. I can’t be walking around that fast all day or my legs are gonna give out.

So I’ve been working at target for a horrendous 6 months now solely because I am a broke college student needing to pay rent. It has been a tumultuous 6 months where I have gotten the worst humanity has to offer. I may not be the best with attendance because I have mental health problems that cause me to miss shifts sometimes. I do not let it impede on my productivity because I care for my coworkers and not Target itself.
Antyways, one example of how ridiculous this place is: we had a person work at Starbucks, and they would show up intoxicated or bring alcohol in a bottle to drink at work.
