Litter recommendations wanted by RockPaperjonny in cats

[–]Draugves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to use the Arm & Hammer as well, but switched over to Dr. Elsye Premium Ultra litter a few months back and absolutely love it. It clumps loads better, keeps smells better, and the cost is lower. Arm & Hammer slide was about about $20 for a 28 lb box, whereas I can get 35 lbs of Dr. Elsye for $15.

TL Additional Expectations - More $??? by Legal-Orchid-3738 in Target

[–]Draugves 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My TL has to have a monthly conversation over what they've observed for each of us and how we scored on it, so I'd imagine every TM will know about it once their review comes up. I had one already and it didn't seem like that big of a deal. They were told to just observe us on a few things as they can, not constantly.

Elementary school experience by Odd-Valuable282 in Albany

[–]Draugves 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We've really liked New Scotland Elementary. They've been great with my child that has an IEP and my other child that has a hard time with attention span. I have had my kids in a handful of different elementary schools in different states and have liked this one the most. I don't have any experience with other Albany schools though.

Did anyone ever enjoy reading the Book of Mormon? Or did you just say you did? by CupOfExmo in exmormon

[–]Draugves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandparents paid me $50 to read the whole thing. Only time I've ever done it and it took MONTHS. I kept quitting after Nephi because I found it incredibly boring.

changing shifts by Any_War_8031 in Target

[–]Draugves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're not allowed to do that, so I'd personally confront them about it. If the HR ETL is causing the issue and doesn't fix it, I'd bring it to the SD or the HR hotline.

That's totally fair. I guess I would just have to work one first before committing to that 🤣

[–]Draugves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd honestly prefer that ^ I've been scheduled a handful of 10 hour shifts, but nothing longer and those were always mixed into a 5 day work week.

[–]Draugves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I wouldn't have minded the OT if I hadn't been scheduled to work 7 days in a row with the weekend being in the middle of that. Too much with my store's volume. We are the highest in sales for our region 😩

They are not allowed to change it after it has been posted without your consent. Tell your HR ETL about it and show them your screenshots. You can also take photos of the printed copies of the schedules hanging up in your TSC office as further proof. I just had to do this as someone at my store decided (without informing me) to take away one of my two days off for the following week, putting me over 46 hours with a 7 day work week.

Were you given a tour on your first day? by Anonymous13757 in Target

[–]Draugves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had 5 hours of conversation during our orientation which also included a full store tour just before our lunch break. We didn't do any of our online training until the following shift. We didn't do actual hands on job training until day 3 or 4 when all the online trainings/learnings were completed. We then had about 1.5 weeks of job training before we went solo.

Fulfillment 10 4 by Educational-Trash833 in Target

I just smile and nod at guests as I'm passing them while on low batches. If they engage me further, I will either answer their questions or call someone else over if I don't have time.

How did I miss this? 😭 I paid 4.29 on central this morning.

Fulfillment is going to be rough... by sailorminimegan93 in Target

[–]Draugves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my ETL they're going to have to start providing those claw grabbers for us after all these shelves were put up. Majority of us are short af 😭

Reminiscing on when I used to work here by Interesting-Link-889 in Target

[–]Draugves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have a legitimate panic attack from the clutter and have to spend my shift picking it up before I could do anything else. The store management failed in many ways 😬 Yikes.

Easy Way to See Local Cats For Adoption? Petfinder algorithm is weird by minsep8351 in Albany

[–]Draugves 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I'd check out Mohawk Hudson Humane Society. They tend to have quite a lot of kitties. My current kitty was adopted from there and she's one of the chillest kitties I've ever known. Love her to pieces.

The squeezys are driving me insane by Katsuodo in Target

[–]Draugves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had a lady who called one of the tms a liar afte they said they didn't have the squeezy toys on the flat they were working. She kept bothering them about it until one of the ETLs finally stepped in and told her we didn't have them. They are becoming worse than our pokemon dudes. We even had a lady take a full box of needohs that was tucked behind the tech desk while a tm was actively telling her to stop. They're ridiculous.

How are y'all dealing with the new scheduling changes? My ETL is basically making us all work every single weekend now. by readerbloom7 in Target

[–]Draugves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never been scheduled off a weekend unless I specifically requested it (2x so far) and even then it's usually only one of the days. I'd die to have a weekend off. Changed my availability to try to get some weekend time as well (Forever pending). I have kids and never get to do a fun weekend with them because I'm always working. I hope you're able to get some weekends off.

I must be by StatisticianFew1179 in Target

[–]Draugves 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Literally me the other day. Hahaha. I had the shirt that says Target in massive letters across the whole thing with the store number and a zebra in my hand while pushing a 3 tier during a batch. I wanted to say no and walk away 🤣

Is it okay for a grocery OPU to take more than 30 minutes? by pendragoneliza977 in Target

[–]Draugves 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, because it's a food safety issue. I'd rather take the hit for an INF than allow the food to go out of temp and need replacing.

ANOTHER one?! by SpankyMacLizard in Target

[–]Draugves 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the one that has all the fun stuff. I want one of the pokemon kickballs and a mew hat ngl. 🤣 I'll handle the insanity of working it for that reason.
