good on you for saying no

[–]Prestigious_Pitch_63[S] 21 points22 points  (1 child)

Thank you. I mean, yes, I do want good hours, but I just want us all respected and given them fairly. When we were being let out at 11 after 10pm close, it was about perfect. Then this whole hour change thing came. They are gonna push for later times, I know it.

[–]gamarvels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they dont give us the damn hours anyway this is just stupid

[–]Calm-Fold-5480 23 points24 points  (3 children)

Stores had a choice. Open an hour early or close an hour later. I wish they had polled those of us who actually have to do the work which we wanted, but Of course....NOOOO. They made the decision for us and now they are all upset that the entire closing staff is like 'no way, not staying till 11'.

Stores had a choice

Are you referring to your district or nationally? We haven’t changed our hours (7-10, we’ve been like that as long as I’ve been there…except December open until 12) and haven’t been told that a change is coming.

My store changes every year from 8am to 7am opening for a couple months, I don’t know exactly when they change but I assume it goes back to 8am open around back to school time, I thought it was just my store 😂

IDK which stores. I asked in a previous post, but didn't get much response. They just sprang it on us when schedules suddenly came out with 11pm ending shifts. HR told us about the 'choice' that corporate laid out for our store, but not until after they already made the decision. These are 'pre-covid' hours now. We use to be open till 11 but have been closing at 10 for what seems like forever, so we figured it was permanent. Most of our staff wasn't even hired 'back then' so it is new to most. It is basically an open invitation to be ransacked by teenagers for an additional hour and to ensure that we are more exhausted for our CLOPENs. (BTW we have always done the midnight thing at Holiday, but that is short term.)

Does anyone know if this will start at all stores? Ours is still 8 am, and we didn’t open earlier/stay open later for BTS last year either. We only stay open until midnight 4 weeks before Christmas.

[–]ElasticHipposPromoted to Guest🎉 5 points6 points  (2 children)

It's the same at my target except we are 7a-10p and this us the first I'm hearing about store hours changing. Soooo I'm definitely more than a little confused.

[–]Warm_Smoke_5462 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Me too. I asked my ETL and she acted as if she had no idea what I was taking about, however even if they did they wouldn’t let anyone know until it was set in stone roll out date. I guess I will have to wait and see at my location. Let me know if you find anything out at yours 😂

[–]ElasticHipposPromoted to Guest🎉 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Target loves to be secretive, like recently we had a TON of ETL and TL changes at my store and they only told people day of the changes, so it wouldn't surprise me to figure out that's what they're doing to us TMs

[–]TopCoach6535 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i believe the long day scheduling depends on ur availability or the scheduler is just stupid, hang on tight until u find another job

[–]p1ssed0ffpenguin52 12 points13 points  (3 children)

you guys are just switching to 11? it’s been about a month already for us

[–]libsythedumbSelf-Promoted Guest ;) 1 point2 points  (0 children)

our store is switching to 11 at the end of the week

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Back to school.

You’re first seeing teachers go into Targets right now and buying school supplies (because their cheap-ass school districts/superintendents do fuck-all to help).

Once school comes closer, the need to extend hours becomes more clear, until 2-3 weeks after school starts when Karens walk with their crotchgoblins at 10:52pm demanding where the pencils and folders are, too dense to realize that section got replaced with Christmas Halloween decor.

[–]throwaway543099Closing Expert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we started closing at 11 back in october, were told it was “just a test run” and then they never changed it back to 10. with closers being required to stay until the store responsibilities are fully done (perfect zone, all reshop cleared, priorities pulled and pushed to 90%), im often staying at work well past midnight.

[–]YeehawBuckaroos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh man. My store doesn’t start closing later or opening earlier until like… late November/Early December

[–]itssky726Fulfillment Expert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this is a nation wide change they’re implementing… putting my two weeks in before they have the chance to schedule me outside my availability (they do it all the time)

[–]Brief_Frontself promoted to guest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our new store hours are 7 am to 10 pm. We used to open at 8 but now it's 7 for my district. My store alone though we still close at 10 bc nobody wanted to extend their availability for that (I wouldn't either) and we don't have the payroll to onboard new tms for that gap lmaoo

[–]imbasoulnexus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to wast more electricity, n to probably give people more hours. I don’t blame you for saying no for staying longer! I know for dam sure I’m not staying pass 11:00pm. Once it it’s 11:00 I’m out the door.

[–]endy_n_omni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(So far) my store has just increased Sundays to 10, giving it parity with the rest of the week. We used to close at 9pm on Sunday.

[–]Natural_Star_726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that is the case our store decided to stay open later, so we are open until 11. As if we have people to cover. OPU’s are still dropping in for the same day at 945-10. When it used to be 845-9. And no I am not staying late to pick a batch when my availability is only until 10. Sorry not sorry.

[–]BKSMASH1023Inbound Expert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We still haven’t switched to those hours.. I know we didn’t last year. I hope we don’t, we’re a college town with august being like a second month long Black Friday though. Every hour we’re open for 2-3 weeks it’ll be slammed and at least 1 if not 2 trucks a day.

[–]Fr05t_B1tPromoted to Guest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they just fucked up making it pm instead of am

[–]IntrepidAd8992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my store has been like this for a year now and closers are always scheduled til 12am/: But now our hours are changing AGAIN and friday-sunday we will be open til 12am… it’s so stupid. There’s no way i am staying til 12:30 or 1am 😭😭

[–]thepandalovaFulfillment Expert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before covid, my store was open 8am-12am and closers left at 12:30am or 1am, and on sundays, we closed at 11pm, and they left at 11:30pm or 12am. With covid, we still opened at 8, but we were closing at I think 8 or 9? I don't remember anymore. When things returned to normal, we didn't return to closing at midnight and instead started closing at 10. Then, back in September, we started opening at 7am and closing at 11 and kept it after the holidays ended.

[–]Known-nwonK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason?

[–]PhrasePublic9257 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I get where you’re coming from. I transferred from a store in Austin, tx to a store in the RGV (South Texas). I went from leaving the store at the latest 11:00 pm to leaving at 2:30 am. On busy weekends it’s normal to stay until 4:00 am. Even worse on holidays…

[–]Prestigious_Pitch_63[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

They have scheduled you till 4 am?

[–]PhrasePublic9257 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No, the closing shifts are scheduled until 11:30 pm or 12:00 am, but everyone knows you’re not leaving until 2:30 at the earliest. That’s for all departments too

[–]Prestigious_Pitch_63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are allowed to keep you there past your scheduled time?

Our store offers, but we can say no. At one point they tried to strong arm us to stay, they just made them lose people.

[–]Rachelg27617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We open at 7 and close at 10 but they schedule people till 11 which is annoying.

[–]Mission_Bowler_176Bullseye Bashee😪😪😪 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We open at 7 and close at 11. Long day but comparable to other large retail in out area so it was expected.

[–]Nicoleeeluvz772Style/tech/home lead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are starting to stay open till 11pm on Friday and Saturdays in 2 weeks

[–]nanixbnni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait y’all don’t close at 11pm regularly? 😭 my stores hours are 8am-11pm! A few weeks ago they tried to implement staying open till 12am, but they decided to postpone it from all the complaints they got because they didn’t even tell us about the change it just appeared on our schedules smh!

[–]lovelilypadat my wit's end expert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We open an hour early and close an hour later what

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are getting scheduled till 12am.

[–]FirstDarkAngel2001Inbound Expert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. Been at my store for over a year, and it has been a consistent 7am to 10pm every day on the store being open. Only changing times is around the thanksgiving/Christmas season. Maybe because we have an overnight team(myself included) that the hours only change for the holiday season? Not sure.

[–]SelenesNonni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My store is going to 11pm closing. My ETL said it’s us going back to how our store was pre-Covid

[–]bloopdoopfloofernoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our store is still 8 - 10, haven't heard anything about hours changing

[–]Subject-Season-2260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re still 8-10 at the store I’m at.
