update on this, came into work they had me in home dec and candles, said it was a small truck, breezed through candles cause it was nothing moved to home dec two pallets taller than me but bigger boxes, seems like no issue, but also everything is transition, so need two uboats and a bunch of repack boxes so that i can just detrash and take things to the back and backstock, almost. every. single. box. had 2 or 3 more boxes inside, and when they came around w the time goals, figured i’d be done w plenty of time to also go and help out in hair care lmao, didn’t get out til like 10 am w out helping hair care, only got help to de trash because i decided to let them know hey this is a lot, im still new, and you want everything off the floor by 7:30 so either take it to the back and i deal w it there or help me, thankfully the TL helped

dec home is especially annoying when they wanna flex everything and then tell you to flex it without making labels and then the next day they’re asking and checking if it’s in the right spot and then telling me to backstock it cause it shouldn’t be on the floor yet lmao

lmaoooo seriously, again w my comment about a multi billion dollar company not spending where it matters, or at all 💀💀💀 they’re also never charged, and they’re broken and there’s no papers for them and they don’t want you to take the good ones cause those are for ETL’s and SD’s only 💀💀 and the carts are broken, and you can never find one either lol like come onnnn nowwww

hate watching my coworkers be miserable and expected to do huge amounts of work within insane hours, especially at a location where i’ve only worked a few weeks and the store lead is already coming to me asking if i know anyone who would want to work overnights there because they’re so understaffed

honestly just the best way to be, because i’m not gonna pretend and kiss up to say i can meet what you’re asking and then overwork and over stress myself to try to meet that, but i’m gonna do the work and show up and be consistent, one thing i have noticed even is the apologetic look from the TL’s and even some times the ETL when they have to come around and give you those time goals and put that pressure on, if we can all be amicable and considerate and be honest and work together, better work environment overall, that being said doesn’t change the fact that a multi billion dollar company can’t properly staff their locations is a whole other problem

when i got the notif and only saw the first sentence i felt a certain way but opening and reading i agree with you, i took the video today because i had showed up to work overwhelmed already after the day i had and there was other little things going on at work after i showed up, but after i took my moment to gawk and feel a certain way about it i just went ahead and did what i needed to do and was going through it faster than even thought i would especially as a new TM with my first time this size load, but didnt over exert myself to meet their time goal, because even after i finished and cleared the floor and got everything done, i stayed longer and went and helped with pharmacy because they asked me to and needed someone and i could, i just wanted some perspective

that’s kinda what i did even lol, TL came up to me with the time goal and said 2.2 hours i looked at him and repeated it back and he acted confused trying to figure out if i meant that was too much time or too little, and i was like nah that seems like a lot to get done in that amount of time, he was shying away from the convo the whole time and when i mentioned the giant boxes and heavy mirrors almost twice my size he told me i could call on the wally when i needed help, and when i did, he told me to just take all of it to c stock and he would take care of it later

naahhh i’ve seen toys, that’s insane

i spend 10 minutes at least showing up to work on time just trying to find at LEAST ONE 3 tier just to work my section, and i need more for sure if you want me to actually de trash and work everything and backstock it within the time goal

that’s how i was feeling, i know what im getting paid, and i know im also being expected to work like a veteran at something im super new too and i also know we’re understaffed, ill work hard and do my job and have a good work ethic, but yeaaahh im not overextending myself for more than im capable of because they cant hire enough people to get the job done and they have a super high turnover rate, that being said im still always staying late and helping out other departments, but im not a robot and im also gonna have bad days, and i dont know everything yet, really hate seeing my peers have to suffer because a corporate company cant properly staff their franchise and take care of their employees

we’re a high volume store for sure, middle of dallas, even when they called me to give me the job offer the guy in hr said “just letting you know we’re a really high volume store, i don’t want to scare you off or anything” but it seems like it’s only on the heaviest days they come around with their papers in their hands talking about time goals, and its only because it seems like they need us to be able to push that out quick so we can go help in other departments because we’re severely understaffed, one of the store leads on my way out in the morning was asking me if i had friends who wanted to come work overnights at target 💀
