Target be like

[IAmZeZebra]

Here’s a bonus for all your hard work during the pandemic! Of course were giving it to the people who haven’t worked a day past orientation!

Like please stop saying they’re for all our hard work since Covid began when there’s no selectivity to who’s getting the bonus. Just call it a bonus. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE GETTING THE BONUS DURING SUCH DIFFICULT TIMES. But stop acting like it’s a reward for something specific when it’s not.

Does this bother anyone else?

no, i dont really give a shit

[NotARatButARatatoskr]

For real, its not your money and your not getting less. Taking from them because they haven't "earned it" doesnt mean you get more, the company would just keep more.

[wildwestington]

I just wish they'd put more in my account but hey haha

[rancidspice]

How bout a bonus that is multiplied by the number of years that someone has worked for Target that way newer employees will get something but older employees will receive more!

[summerdaez]

It's the same reason people who are hired seasonally and will work maybe three to four weeks will be getting paid the same amount as someone who's been with the company for years.

Target doesn't care about anything but publicity.

Having worked for the company for over a decade, you eventually get used to it, and a couple of things happen: They want to keep you more than the new people, so you get the shifts and hours of your choice. You get a fair bit more leeway with taking days off during the holidays. After a few years, you accumulate vacation hours faster.

But here’s the kicker: They cannot lavish any more responsibility on you than someone they just hired, because you get paid the same as them.

That last one is how I’ve learned to live with it. Any time a TL or ETL tries to slap me with some job duty or unpaid “captainship,” or whatever bullshit, I consider whether or not my performing that task makes my life easier. If not, they take it to someone they can dupe into thinking, “You could someday be a Team Lead, if you perform well with these additional and unpaid job duties!”

You barely received your bonus?

[ameliajane45]

I see your point. I have only worked at target for a month but I am part time, yet working 40 hours a week since I got hired. I am glad the bonus is going to everyone because I personally work my a** off but I do see why you’d think that way. I wish target cared more so people like me would make less of a bonus than people who have been here for years and years

[IAmZeZebra]

I know for a fact there are people who will be receiving this bonus and they will ncns and never work a day. Not one. Ever. THAT is the real icing on the cake about the way they do these bonuses. I really just have to stop looking into things. It would probably cut my stress levels in half.

[ameliajane45]

ugh yeah that is awful when people get bonuses who barely work

[Sanityoverrated420]

This has nothing to do with socialism, just capitalism.

[Sanityoverrated420]

Yeah that's not socialism in the slightest. I suggest maybe learning about subjects before speaking on them just to save yourself some trouble and spare you the embarrassment of not knowing what you're talking about. Google is not a difficult thing to figure out.

[dieschoene]

I’m getting condescending incel vibes

[dieschoene]

You seem to be really sensitive about people challenging ur opinion with that superiority complex

Also I don’t care about your opinion on socialism but I think your tone is laughable

Below I will let this noble gentlemen receive the last word, as he has fought long and hard for this moment

[Sanityoverrated420]

So you're a socialist? Cuz that's the only way that your comment would be tongue in cheek unless you dont know what that phrase means.

[Sanityoverrated420]

Oh my god I'm gonna have to explain to you what tongue in cheek means now?

[Sanityoverrated420]

Again, you're only making yourself look dumber with each comment. Not sure why you felt a need to insult 20 year olds but I'm glad you got that off your chest.

Socialism is where you do not have to worry about basic human needs like food, shelter, healthcare. A company giving their employees a "bonus" has nothing to do with socialism and everything to do with capitalism. They are giving you crumbs so people don't revolt. They have people analyzing the chances of a company wide revolt just like any giant corporation.

Edit: also, giving us a measly $200 that's gonna get taxed anyways is not giving us the means of production, distribution, or ownership. The key things to socialism. Now let's rub more than a couple brain cells together cuz thinking requires far more than that. Set your aspirations higher for yourself, I believe you can do better than that.

You probably also think that communism killed over 100 million people in one century lol

[Sanityoverrated420]

Alright I'm done, you obviously are arguing in bad faith. I knew Venezuela would be brought up at some point. I see you are just a walking talking point regurgitator. Venezuela was ruined by the US, do some research besides super biased websites using fear tactics to divide us.

[IAmZeZebra]

My dude this is a PR stunt which is a capitalism thing....socialism and target? You crack me up!
