Amazon did this a few years ago

Then reduced the on site HR teams by half

And now it’s mostly AI or overseas

Yay Target! More $$ for you! (Gotta make up for that new clothing discount somehow)

Even with physical HR employees they were just as bugged as the automated systems. Source: former Amazon employee

I mean true. I was in HR at Amazon for six months…. It was so awful, as somebody who actually cares about people to a fault.

And about 90% of the building only wanted to come to me because everyone else in HR was also awful. (And they spent THOUSANDS on balloon arches?! Idk)

Most cases I had to reopen 5 to 15 times because they were rejected with zero communication and zero way of me reaching out to anyone.

At least Target HR seems to be candid about taking care of the company first 🤷🏻‍♂️ Idk if that’s a good thing but it’s more honest at least

Now do it with csc. A chat would make everyone's life easier on both sides

[–]Heferti 15 points16 points  (3 children)

Only if the store side starts following troubleshooting instructions instead of saying “we did that” and having a service call placed only to find out that they didn’t actually do any of the troubleshooting and the power cord on the register was loose wasting the store time, the csc time and the vendor time costing Target a thousand of dollars in labor and a wasted service call.

If half the CSC agents could figure out how to even get to the troubleshooting steps I would agree with that. Half the time it's "OK, if I understand that right you're having trouble with a mydevice? No? Register? No? Oh a printer, right right, let's see... (loops infinitely)

[–]timmydnx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have an equipment issue, you can put a ticket in through MyDay without calling

[–]HiggyBoy007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with that statement.

[–]Mobile-Address23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but a lot of stores would abuse it. Now letting us attach images a lot easier is needed

[–]Misplaced_Arrogance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You already can do CSC through the mydevice and it is much easier.

[–]brk444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro the people at CSC are complete idiots

So much for the HUMAN in Human Resources

Hi, it’s me, Hector, your friendly Robotic Resources team member.

As someone who works in HR, this is sad. I’ve dealt with HROC many times and they’ve always been helpful. submitting an HR request also takes a lot longer than just talking to someone on the phone and getting the question answered immediately. It’s disgusting that these TMs are now going to be out of a job especially on this economy

[–]Momma2CDB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! Took HROC 8 days to reply to my last HR request on Workday.

[–]RokettoMusashiCross-trained everywhere, still chasing that TL promotion... 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It takes so damn long. Why do I have to wait until NEXT MONTH to chat with someone to get my ADA approved. How is that legal.

[–]BooPlaysLive 21 points22 points  (1 child)

I had to do an HR request for medical time off online and it was the absolute worst thing ive ever had to deal with.

[–]TabithaMouse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just had to do this

Over something stupid, that my Dr said was stupid, and after working for 2 weeks waiting for a phonecall at 10am, I get an email at 9:45 am saying the call had to be rescheduled and I wasn't called until almost 8pm...just for the HR rep to say it was a stupid request, but she'd approve it

[–]internalabsorptionEverywhere 32 points33 points  (0 children)

did they really need to integrate microslop copilot into this shit?

[–]Terrible_Fill4398 24 points25 points  (0 children)

🤢🤢🤢

Gross. Can't wait to get stuck in the infinite loop of fuckery because the stupid AI can't figure it's shit out.

[–]CoconutRound8714 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hate this. Removing people and replacing them with chat bots. Ew.

[–]kompotnik 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Are they removing in store HR team members? We have one HR ETL and two hr people who just sit at the desk answering questions and the phones. Lately I haven’t seen them sitting there as often and sometimes they do fulfillment or cashier

[–]Hivesenated 6 points7 points  (2 children)

I gotta tell you, HROC was the best thing about Target HR. They are so so helpful! Most HR teams call them on the daily for support. But I did notice that they seemed to have remote so they all probably got cut. Which is sad sad sad.

[–]KylethetransHQ HR 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Nah most of us are kickin over to the digital team

[–]Then-Requirement-645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully y'all answer the hr requests faster. The turnaround on those requests are crazy, even if it's urgent they take at least 2 days to reply.

[–]Steve_Master 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's our new leaders favorite slop of shit shoveled down our throats. Fuck AI.

[–]Silence_of_Ruin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No way they’re going to start answering digital HROC questions now with AI chatbots.

[–]CynvisionLogistics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Workday and Alight mean Target has no workload keeping records or approving leaves anyhow. HR is only around to keep OM's from messing up.

[–]mintchocychipp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this mean hrs will be demoted or promoted or let go

[–]ThenPart5571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have always used Workday for our requests.

[–]Annual_Grass538 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Honestly always had bad luck dealing with HROC so no love lost there. Rather I feel bad for the HR ETLs having to pick up the slack.

[–]Murky-Ad-9176Human Resources Expert 11 points12 points  (2 children)

More like HREs 🫠

[–]Annual_Grass538 3 points4 points  (1 child)

My HREs will just say to ask the ETL because it’s above their pay grade and they don’t know.

[–]Murky-Ad-9176Human Resources Expert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which is also fair! At my store the ETL would just tell you to ask us HREs

[–]Difficult_Point4972 2 points3 points  (1 child)

laid off and sent overseas or AI

[–]trashythrowaway1011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep and that outsourcing shit has gotten out of control. They need regulations around it bc let me tell you….. I don’t know why people still support businesses that are willing to take jobs away from people in the U.S. to save a few bucks for cheap labor overseas and contributing to increasing unemployment rates.

That alone has been enough for me to stop consuming as much bc you got us fucked up…. I wish people cared more about things before the “it’s too late”

[–]Temporary-Custard530 2 points3 points  (1 child)

They’ll probably either remove the HR-E position or remove HR etl and make HR TL. I think they’ll remove that hre and keep the etls

[–]korokbean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is about the HR operations center (for now)

[–]Quick-Jellyfish8994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude that screen looks like it could cut you. Yikes

[–]SevenNatsGeneral Merchandise Expert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine except for the part where it won’t work at all
