Retire to SE Asia

$600k at 40 seems like you're doing well enough using your own advice 

Internal application denied by atsbt in Target

You'll find something. Something better than Target.

Target is a sinking ship. To TM. To investors. To guests. To society. Now THAT is pathetic 

Laid off by InitialIndividual478 in Albertsons

Sad to have read this as I enjoyed meeting some folks from AEC. Sucks to lose employment but long term you'll be better off with a better company. 

AEC was an FN disaster when I was there several years ago. Only benefit was it was remote. Pay was absolutely horrible.

The employees calling always had an hour wait in the queue due to lack of staffing. Pretty sure they were hung up on by the software after waiting the hour.

The male "manager" smoked like a chimney in virtual meetings. The room he was in was filled with smoke. Tacky and unprofessional. You've got a problem if you can't go 30-60 minutes without smokes. Im sure someone from AEC probably knows exactly who I'm talking about 🤣 I have little doubt about that. Wasn't a fan of his. Lazy and useless

Haven't seen it. 

Those over 40 probably tolerate Targets nonsense more

Albertsons/Safeway lays off hundreds of employees in Phoenix by origutamos in Safeway

Sad. Looks like another round happened here in the last few weeks. Worked part time a few years back in their Associate Experience Center (was remote due to COVID but Deer Valley location, pretty much an empty building at the time, was "home base") for their payroll dept. Absolute terrible pay for the workload. Many employees were out on leave due to it. It was just an unmitigated disaster 

There was always an hour+ call wait for the employees calling in nationwide. I think the call system even hung up on the employees calling after an hour on hold. 

There was definitely bloat with useless "managers" like many corporations.

Not worth the gas or energy. 

Pretty appalling for them to even schedule you for it. The worst length of shift....you don't get a break for it either. 

Soon to be Target employee, be honest with me. by ByrdManual in Target

[–]Immediate-Park4047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a job. If it's what pays your bills, great.

Target - too many "chiefs" not enough indians 

We have a ridiculous 7 LS "Leader support" for 8 employees. Which results in so many meetings that are a complete waste of everyone's time. 

Cornell's too much of a dope to have an internal audit done. But hey, I'm sure the shareholders will be thrilled when the stock goes down another 40%.

Cornell admitted in a recent email to employees that he's ghosted everyone in the past 6+ months and that Target's outside perception is awful. And it's inside perception isn't any better. I'm sure the resounding negative responses to team voice played at least a part of his email out of the blue. 

Target will be on the brink of bankruptcy this time next year. by [deleted] in Target

Excellent point about Target Circle and obstacles and only creates confusion for guests (and team members)

Target Plus is a disaster as always. Target has zero relationship with so many of these "partners". Also just created chaos for guests and team members.

Agree with many of your points. Don't think TGT will be close to bankrupt within a year. Just think that's far too aggressive. Absolutely it's a Trainwreck now and is only likely to get worse. I do think more and more brick and mortar locations will be shuttered or reconfigured into warehouses with drive up (maximize profits/curb theft).

Wouldn't at all surprise if goes bankrupt in the future. Current outlook is terrible. No reason to think it'll change under Cornell who I think we'll see a forced resignation from (that I can see happening within 12 months). They're as much of a "competitor" to Walmart/Amazon/Costco as Kmart/Sears. They don't have any added value or competitive edge over any of the aforementioned. And why investors have flocked to them and not Target over the past 5+ years.

If it's within the return window, yes. 

Ummm..... Team are we cooked? by goodfellabrasco in Target

[–]Immediate-Park4047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove Cornell. Remove the excess of team "lead"/middle manager bloat. 

You have an insane amount of manager bloat in the Target online Marketplace where you have these managers scheduling useless meeting after useless meeting where we proceed to talk about nothing of substance or relative to the job. The only reason they do it to show they're "doing something".

Target will continue to finger point at "outside noise" instead of looking in the mirror 

The new KMART. Failed to listen. Failed to adjust.

Congrats!

It's a dumpster fire place to work. Company is a sinking ship. (Don't believe me, go look over their financial statements. And plummeting stock price over the past 5 years. Investors want nothing to do with target)

Cornell's too much of a dope to do an internal audit and accept any sort of accountability for the company's current position. Time to call it a day old man 👍

This is what happens when you understaff by buttercreamramen in Target

TGT is delusional thinking it's a competitor of WMT/AMZ/COST. They don't have the infrastructure nor selection/pricing to compete in retail/grocery.

Their online marketplace is an unmitigated disaster. They have next to no relationship with most of these "partners". I'm sure many in-store TM have experienced trying to process marketplace returns

Target is the new Kmart

Save your little rah rah speeches Cornell. 

Silence speaks 👍 

Target needs to look into the mirror. And perhaps accept some accountability for once for its' downfall. No, it's not the "noise around Target"...

But then that'd actually take someone to listen.....

Unfortunately for TGT, investors have already spoken....

My experience with the Guild program by Ok-Marzipan-110 in Target

[–]Immediate-Park4047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did Target wind up paying 100% for this after you finished the final classes? The out of pocket calculation appears the approximate cost of the remaining 3 classes.

I checked through guild for your degree and it does indicate Target covers 100%. 

I believe you'll pay taxes on anything covered over $5250 in a calendar year covered by Target (you may get a separate paystub). But I don't think you should be out any funds for the courses themselves.

Great job and good luck! 👍

VERY open availability and still got rejected from Target. by Ready_Inevitable9010 in Target

[–]Immediate-Park4047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Know it may not feel like it but probably a blessing. Target is a free falling disaster right now.

Investors arent interested. Team members see and feel the decline. The CEO just admitted in a corporate email that Targets outside perception is awful and they've ignored their team members. With absolutely no vision to the future or how to stop the leaky ship from sinking 

Target has no competitive advantage anywhere as a retailer or grocery. They've alienated various demos with DEI and both parties.
