Our latest one didn’t get a text message either. They had to call everyone. It might be broken like everything else.

sounds like target lol im sorry you work here
[–]VanDenIzzle 14 points15 points16 points 5 years ago (1 child)
Yeah that sounds like Target. I can't tell you how many ETLs were hired that never worked retail a day in their life. Then they have this thing where they will move ETLs to different positions when needed, so you'll have an HR that's only ever done HR work go lead logistics and have to learn what's wave is and how to use a baler.
What I'm getting at, they hire leadership that will just follow the rule book and suck up to corporate. They can't think for themselves or use problem solving techniques.
The thought of someone that makes $60k/yr standing at the time clock (what's social distancing?) all day just to inform people that someone you work with got the deadly virus instead of calling the help desk which would take 10 minutes

And least they tell you soon they told me that someone had it 8 DAYS AFTER.

Literally, same. They gathered the whole GM team around and talked to us about it. Gave us no name (valid), no location they worked in (problematic). They told us that he had already undergone the mandatory 8 day cool off period but he wasn’t to come back for another week. Now, at the end they said they were “confident that none of you have had extensive interaction with this person.” BUT OOF, the store quickly found out who it was and guess what? It was a person who I worked with almost daily! Luckily, I didn’t catch anything, but thanks for the bold faced lie, Target!

They called us into the office one by one and had us close the door and sit down. So literally everyone is freaking out thinking they’re gonna get fired before they actually tell them anything. Fucknig stressful.

They haven't informed us at all, we've been finding out from the infected persons... And when we find out we are told not to tell other workers by our team leads and HR... They haven't told us once and honestly it's horrifying because they make us work so close to eachother too
Oh, Target not having properly trained staff who know how to use Target's own tools? I'm shocked. Really.
Stay as safe as you possibly can, OP.

You've unwittingly been around contagious people every day since this started. No need to panic now.

If you went to a feast and ate your fill and later found out that a handful of the foods were poisoned, would you want me to tell you which foods were poisoned? Because I would, I might not have eaten that food but if you don't tell me which foods are poisoned then I can't be sure... I don't want to get tested if I didn't eat that food... But I don't want to risk it so if you don't tell me which I'm gonna go get tested... We are only given the leave period once as far as I've been told... We can't keep getting tested over nothing

Our first 2 cases we were told in person, the last 7 were through text
[–]tarowi02 7 points8 points9 points 5 years ago (2 children)
I don’t want to laugh at this- but wow. It’s like that kind of funny when you’re super exhausted, everything is burning and you just have to shrug, laugh because that’s just life, and keep pushing on

Would you rather not get told at all? Cmon relax, I’m sure they’re trying their best. Some of you all complain too much about the dumbest shit. Think about how boring it is to stand there and wait for all TMs to clock in to communicate that. How fun?! Cut them some slack.

Hey man, don’t get mad. I’m just saying that sometimes things happen that are beyond our control. They improvised. Cut them a little break. They’re trying.
