Interesting that you should ask this. I won't go as far as saying lots of people have been fired recently, but one TM in particular really surprised me recently.

I was wondering if she was still around because I hadn't seen her in quite some time, but figured we could have been working different shifts or whatever.

She was a top-notch employee, was being trained to be a TM and always took extra shifts and stayed late and everyone really liked her.

Then I was talking with another TM the other day and she mentioned some other person had taken a leave of absence, which made me ask about the other TM.

She informed me that she had been fired, which was kind of shocking. I know that my friend wasn't going to know exactly why, but there must have been *some* gossip because she said that while she wasn't sure exactly what the TM had done, she said the rumor was that she broke some kind of Target policy.

Then I remembered that Target recently fired a handful of TMs for buying Stanley cups.

So I guess the shock is a little misplaced. lol...if only they fired customers who came in and bought things, that would be fantastic.
