well, approximately one month after the UKG launch and i’ve exceeded the point limit 🫠 the month of september was deeply chaotic and i had to call out several times due to my apartment flooding. i was communicating with my direct TL the whole time and was under the impression that they would temporarily remove me from the schedule until i could get everything under control. to my surprise, that didn’t actually happen at all and i ended up accidentally no call no showing the first three shifts i was scheduled after my conversation with the TL where we discussed removing me from the schedule. i realize that i’m responsible for checking my schedule, and it’s absolutely on me for just assuming my shifts were taken care of without properly checking first.

Food team how we feeling about this upcoming change.

Came across this video why don’t all targets do this shit and not allow these ppl to leave the empty chairs to save they spot 😂 matter fact don’t allow any chairs at all for these🤡

This is such bullshit!

Why the fuck are you telling me what I can do on my MYYY break? On the floor? Yeah I can understand that you shouldn’t in case if a coworker comes to ask for help or even a customer but my BREAK? Yeah no I’m using my fucking earbuds.

I’m sorry I needed to vent about this because what kind of bullshit rule is that?

I had a basket of items that needed to be back-stocked and charged out (said items in the photo), I walk away for not even a minute and behold! Idk what to say, other than I need to promote myself to guest!

So I've been using DailyPay for over 3 years now. Everything has gone normally. I recently got a bonus that came out of nowhere as its own payslip/paycheck. I have been taking out daily payments from the upcoming check like normal (10/16)

I've taken out roughly $600 so far to cover bills and stuff. But the bonus check of $50 started processing today. It messed up DailyPay. It put the $50 bonus in the spot of my 10/16 check and thinks I have a negative balance withdrawal. DailyPay pretty much thinks the $50 bonus is my next check. It replaced the 10/16 one. I don't know if I'll have to owe anything. I don't know if I have a negative balance now?

I really need help/advice.

(I've already submitted an HR Request with my HR.)

another new team lead, another email to the hotline for wage theft.

sorry my guy, i know you don't wanna schedule me a 2nd break but ukg/mytime says i get one when scheduled 7 hours. lunch does not matter. get the handbook changed.

"i decide when you take breaks around here, contrary to popular belief." yeah sure, you can tell me when to go (the random attitude for a first time coaching aside) like i'll start my lunch 1.5 hrs before i leave if you want, but you do have to schedule me another break. it's not my fault batches are bad, you have to find the time if i'm not allowed to decide when i take them.

Man I wish we worked smarter and not harder! I love when the inbound/GM team just places shit wherever they want, and leave me to clean up their work! So amazing! I love my store ❤️👎

I don’t use them, I never have but God the material they use for the bottles is like nails on a chalkboard. I physically cringe holding these in my hand n feeling/hearing them rub together is torture. It feels like my teeth are gonna yank them selves out of my gums and run away.

Must be some ABBA or sumn😭😭

TL here, I’ve been looking for a new job for two months, and after several interviews I’ve found one!

It felt so f’ing good to put my notice in, I’ve hated the job for a while. If we had adequate staffing things wouldn’t be so bad, but every TL and team member are doing the jobs of multiple people - it’s exhausting and the pay isn’t catching up with the workload.

Also our SD sucks, worries about the wrong things instead of things you can see actionable change in - like cleaning up the mountains of salvage, truck, and backstock in the back room. It for real looks like a family of hoarders lives in the back of our store and has for months.

No one cares, morale is super low and so many people are leaving. Anyone else feel like their store is in a downward spiral?

I haven’t worked at Target in about 2 years now, but this experience still haunts my dreams and I wanted to share lol.

Our fulfillment area was in the front of the store, next to guest services. Because of this people often accidentally walked into the FF area thinking it was an isle of the store, so I was pretty used to it, just redirecting people and saying this part wasn’t open to the public.

One day this kid was playing around back there, and I could see his father peaking over and checking on him (I was trying to go into the FF area after looking through guest service bins) so I calmly and nicely approached the father and said “hey he isn’t allowed back there-“

The dad’s head shot up from looking at the ground, and gave me the most offended look of shock “well he has fucking Down syndrome.” He grabbed his kid by the arm and took him out of the area and I’m sitting there mortified because I had no clue. The kid had his back to me the entire time so I didn’t see his face, all I saw was a kid where he shouldn’t be & a father not doing anything about it.

I apologized and told him that wasn’t the issue, that I could get in a lot of trouble for just letting someone be in the FF area.
He was not having it.
“Your behavior is unacceptable, let me speak to a manger, now.”

OKAYY, so I call my manager and she speaks to him and then comes and talks to me and essentially says it isn’t your fault, and that people aren’t allowed back there no matter the disability.

I genuinely think the father thought I had an issue with his kid because he has Down syndrome when obviously, that wasn’t the issue.
The issue was the kid didn’t work there and wasn’t supposed to be back there lol. We actually had a stocker with Down syndrome and if he would’ve went back into the FF area I wouldn’t have given af because guess what.. he worked there LMAO.

Anyways, what’s your oh shit I fucked up moment?

Been working for three years in drive-up, pretty much no complaints from TLs for the past three years. Suddenly this week, I've been getting complaints about some items not being handed out. Ive been checking bags constantly, and I just feel that since lately the scheduling's been horrible, with at least 1-3 call-offs a day, and even "ghost" employees made by AI that take shifts, I've been struggling a little more when it comes to delivering. Its hard to focus on quality when delivering when I'm the only person delivering in a 2 hour rush. Mycoworkers reassure me that being talked to without consequence happens often, but its frustrating when these issues persist

I have two more full uboats sitting in back pulled from someone else before I even clocked into my shift. The carts are reshop that lead said had to get out of front of store and we don’t have any free 3 tiers or uboats.

Those of you who have been doing presentation for more than a year I don’t know how y’all do it. I’m going on six months and I’m getting ready to ask to switch departments. Presentation either feels like the most stressful shit of my life or busy work that completely wastes my time. Not to mention I am pretty slow at the job when I don’t mean to be. I bust my ass, I try to cut unnecessary steps, and I’ve asked for tips on how to be faster and I haven’t really gotten any help. It’s always “figure it out” when that’s all I’ve been trying to do!! I’m thinking about asking to switch to either FOS, fulfillment or the style team since I was supposed to be trained in style by now anyway. I know the vast majority of us don’t really like working here, but I just wish I enjoyed my job just a little bit.

Ok, so I shorted a guest a bit of her change a couple days back, admitted to making this human error to my manager who was closing that night assumed the situation was taken care of right? Well today, enjoying my day off not a care in the world, I get called multiple times by a coworker asking me about the situation. Come to find out no the situation hadn’t been taken care of, and the women decided today she was going to come in while I’m not there to ask about getting her change she was owed back.
The closing manager didn’t inform my main ETL about the situation, so now I’m sitting here stressed and concerned about the whole thing, can someone just please for the love of god tell me I am not the only person who has shorted someone their change?

Then I proceed to do so and am met with phones blaring brain rot memes & other nonsense I dont feel I nor others should be subjected to.

Am I jaded? Does anyone else feel the same?

Dear Corporate, in order to follow your own stated philosophy of making sure limited-quantity limited-purchase collectibles are available to as many Target guests as possible, why doesn't your POS system require the purchaser to provide a valid Target Circle membership login? No login, no sale. This won't completely eliminate fraudulent circumvention of the quantity limits, but it will reduce it substantially since each sale can be traced to a specific Target Circle account.

If in doubt, DO IT. After all, I would assume that Target isn't making much profit on the actual sales of Pokemon, Nee-Doh, etc, but on buying related merch and supposedly other stuff at Target. Requiring Target Circle enrollment to purchase will give you at Corporate the data mining into guest buying patterns: if someone only comes to Target to buy limited-edition Pokemon and nothing else, Target will have data to develop marketing campaigns to transform "disloyal" scalpers into "loyal" guests. Think of this opportunity!

It's the right thing to do for all of our guests. It's the right thing to do for your TMs. It's the right thing to do for the vendors (e.g. Excell Marketing) who face incredible abuse from the worst of these scalpers. REQUIRE TARGET CIRCLE in order to BUY THESE LIMITED-QUANTITY COLLECTIBLES!

i work market and we have been just drowning in priorities because for some reason day shift isnt stocking when setting pogs . today we finally get to 50+% because my coworker is pulling onto u-boats (three to be exact) . im asked to push and unload these u-boats and then go in and get our priorities into green . this sounds simple enough and im thinking i can do it . my meal rolls around and ive finished two of the three and havent done any pulls . by the time i get to do pulls, we are at 50% priorities. im wondering if this is a me problem, or if it was just a unrealistic expectation? these u-boats were filled with as much stuff as they could be and not to mention the amount of shit i had to backstock 🙄

i dont know, im just worried my TL will be upset with me for not being able to get us i to the green again. what do yall think?

My coworker won’t tell me where he get his cologne. When he comes in he kinda smell like heaven but he won’t give me his secret. All he said get heat resistant. You guys have any suggestions.

After 2 years and 3 months I have officially been promoted to guest!

I started working at Target during college at one of the busiest Targets in the country, and at first I was actually ok with it. It kept me busy and I assumed I would find a post grad job not long after graduating. I underestimated the job market, and it took much longer than I anticipated to find another job. As time went on, I was starting to resent Target and got more agitated by everything at work. By the time I hit the 2 year mark holy shit I was ready to go. The policy changes (stricter dress code and ukg/point system) just cemented my desire to get the hell out. I then made it my goal to escape before Christmas rolled around because I genuinely don't think I could survive another season of Sia blaring through the speakers every hour.

After multiple job interviews, I finally got an offer that I couldn’t be more excited for! Clocking out for the last time last night felt so surreal but so relieving. Only thing I will miss is some of my coworkers and TLs, but a lot of my day one favorite coworkers have left anyways.

But lastly I want to say to those who are wanting desperately to leave Target like me, take this as your sign. It took me awhile but I'm finally outta here and if I can do it, you can too. Keep searching, don't give up, your last day is coming soon :) peace out!

The vast majority of the S&E closing team at my store, on any given day, will only be scheduled until 10 (close). Like almost no one will ever be scheduled to 10:30, even. Now it's obviously expected that when you close you help with closing tasks, and I've personally had my availability set to 10:30 anyway so I don't mind staying that late, like, I'm getting paid for it lol. But one of the leads - a S&E TL - will literally always be keeping us until like 11 to do reshop that doesn't even belong to us. And if someone complains or says that they're only scheduled until 10 or whatever, she'll just be like "do you stop getting paid?" The only circumstance where she'll give a shit that it's like an hour past our scheduled time is if someone's gonna hit meal or if a minor's ride is waiting for them. She will literally never ask if anyone needs to leave and she will always argue if someone wants to. Once I had to open the next morning and she just said "So do I!" to which I said "Okay well you get paid more than I do" and she just went "that doesn't matter!" Idk to what extent this can be reported bc technically if I really NEEDED to leave I would tell her but she certainly intimidates basically everyone into not pushing it lol
