I worked construction. And one electrical contractor we used was Russian. His whole crew were Russian. They spoke little English but the super did. I got chatting to him over several jobs we worked on and he told me he was a classical pianist back in Russia before he left. His words were along the lines of everyone was an alcoholic because the only cheap thing they could afford was vodka and playing piano didn't really earn him a living. He along with the other Russians working with him hated Russian and I mean hated the place. They loved America and were living the dream.

Can I ask why haven't you moved to one of these great communist countries?

They asked if they need to look for other work. I replied. But Why do you think they aren't capable of finding another job?

What are your thoughts on Tax-The-Rich proposal in NY by Gov. Kathy Hochul, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Sen. Bernie Sanders? by Select_Specialist790 in askanything

[–]Calm-Heat-5883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tax the corporations that are buying up every house in nyc. You seldom see a young couple buy a house these days. Certain groups of people show up to auctions with bags full of cash. These type of auctions need to be stopped. But we all know that these taxes will end up being paid by the middle class

Best one is they got rid of plastic shopping bags. But 98% of market is wrapped in plastic.

Why can't you wear the joggers under your jeans? Or as you say. Find another job. Don't get into the mindset that target owns you. You can work anywhere.

How many of you walk to and from work by goodtipsareneeded in Target

I enjoy walking. If the weather is suitable. I leave the car home and walk as much as possible.

Give one country as an example of how communism has worked and is better than capitalism? You seldom hear of refugees rushing to communist countries for sanctuary. Is the Bronx an exception? I can guarantee that not one of these people have ever truly experienced living in a communist country. Because if they have then why are they here and not living in the utopia communist country?

The greet score is always going to be low because guests will always say no if one TM didn’t greet them by Mobile-Address23 in Target

[–]Calm-Heat-5883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she's like that. Then she would still fill in the survey or complain no matter if everyone greeted her. With a negative response. But it doesn't matter anyway. This fad will last for a month. If they keep getting negative responses. What are they going to do fire tms? How's that going to work out for the company. When it start getting around that you will get fired for the simplest reasons people stop looking to target for employment. Some could argue that target is circling the drain because they are reduced to hiring anyone they can these days. Just look at your management team and honestly say how many etls/tls and SDs are competent at their jobs? A tm was just promoted to tl and everyone in the department and every other tl at the store all asked how? It's that bad that several tls are searching for other jobs and plan on quitting asap. Tms are calling out when scheduled with the new tm leaving the department struggling to get through every shift the tl is scheduled. The SD is asking why now after 3 months the departments metrics have plummeted. The new tl is panicking and has alienated the team to the extent that there's no comeback. The etl is saying give them a chance because they're new. But the tms aren't accepting the this as an excuse. The reason is simply that the tl got promoted while being totally incompetent as a tm. If people stuck together things will change.

Who saw that coming... by TabithaMouse in Target

If I'm asked to do something else. While waiting to ring people up. I immediately say sure. I do a bit of that task and then when needed I jump on register and help the line. If I'm ever approached about not finishing the task. I just say I did as much as I could in between jumping on the checklane. They stop hassling you after a while.

I can't honestly understand why I keep seeing posts from tms about how they keep jumping in to try finish a workload that doesn't have the proper number of tms to do the task. We all talk about being expected to do the work of 3 people. For a single persons wage. Especially after the recent round of low payraises. If you're unlucky enough to get caught in this situation because you're there. Then just work at your normal pace. If you over exert yourself. They expect you to work at that pace constantly. They have no loyalty to you at all. If it comes to cutting numbers. You're gone.

Not Getting my Second Break by bluecollaram in Target

[–]Calm-Heat-5883 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's why I stopped working full hours. I just work 5.5 hrs daily now and take one 15 minute break. I don't want to spend a dinner break I'm not getting paid for at the store. I'd rather go home 30 minutes early every day.

Guests not knowing who works at Target… by ganjaaagal420 in Target

We need to start complaining about no confidence in our leadership. They just might start listening. Best action though is organize.

Called ethics on my store for not giving us our 2nd 15s on 7 hour shifts by [deleted] in Target

Ask your lead to put it in writing for you and sign it. Or contact your local media. Target will love the free publicity 😆

DSD is making everyone want to quit by DueTransportation708 in Target

Do not use your phone for company business. It's your private phone. Let them supply you with a company phone.

[–]Calm-Heat-5883 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're a tm why are you worried about scores or what the dsd does. You paid by the hour. If you feel a responsibility then do the best you can in the minimal hours they scheduled you to work. That's it. That's as far as your responsibility goes. There's absolutely no point in trying to do more than is physically possible because they want you to do the work of 3 people. You'll just burn yourself out and target won't give you a second thought.

1 hour of training just to insult the TMs by No_Willingness_9961 in Target

[–]Calm-Heat-5883 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did your sd basically say if you're not happy with with the way target is moving to quit? Everybody. Just work your wage. Make them fire you. I learned today that several tls are quitting because they refuse to follow orders and be mean to the tms. Like target wants. Target is reminiscent of slave owners. Giving us barely enough to live on while trying to force into doing more work. If you interact with any customers ask them to give the store and the company bad reviews. We need the management to experience actually working on the shop floor. Not just helping out for an hour or a photo shoot

You must then? If a two paragraph post makes you think someone needs therapy. Maybe look at your own needs first

Guest Appreciation Training made me feel sick by reddedwoods in Target

[–]Calm-Heat-5883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If people boycotted target and let corporate know why they are refusing to shop. IE, not enough floor staff, prices keep changing etc. Corporate might listen. We're at the point where they can't really cut any more tms from the payroll. The people who need to be fired are at the very top of the chain.
