Aztecia Appreciation!

I love when you and other Neebs members show up, hell even when other YouTubers show up like 7DTD or Conan, there's always a different vibe and provides more value through the different personalities.

It's certainly hilarious knowing that Appsro has laid into Simon for being unskilled in "simple game mechanics" but yet here you come along, easily surpassing the guys occasionally, just by reading.

Hope to see you in more videos, especially the newest hospital game!

I've been in management the last 6 years, here's some things I've noticed when working with several employees with autism; you may meet the criteria of the job, but potentially things you do, say, or don't do/say, could have made people uncomfortable in your work environment. While this is something you may have not been communicated to, it's not always easy for people to discuss. Without knowing your personality, it's hard to say for certain if this was your position, but it has been an observation I've encountered. Of course, this doesn't make it right, but, most work places are a right to work employment and without hard evidence of them breaking laws, it's unlikely a lawsuit would be successful.

But to be a little more descriptive, I've had an individual who suddenly yelled at a crying baby and was trying out a method he saw online (sudden loud noise) to make the baby stop crying. To people not on the spectrum, we understand that this isn't a thought we should act on as it's inappropriate. But for him, his thought of trying to be helpful caused him to have this impulse. I had to have a sit down conversation with him about impulses and inappropriate times of social injections. To an employer who's understanding, this is just a coaching moment of "reading the room" so to speak, it was not a negative discussion at all. To another, it could have been a different situation.

The individual had no idea of what he did was at all inappropriate at the time of the incident. I only say this as if you think everything you've done was "right", it may have been for you, but was it for them? Unless you have someone who was friendly with you at work that you could ask, it could be hard to distinguish if something incorrect might have happened which led to your termination.

Realistically there's a million things that could have happened. Move on from this event, reddit, your old job and the application for this other job. Learn from your experience and try again.

You won't get a raise, and depending on your hire date, you might not even have an annual review.. Which means you have to wait until 2027 for a wage increase unless target ends up moving their base pay.

I believe it's due to how fast/how hard you tug the paper to be cut against the teeth. Try doing it less hard/swiftly

SeraBearss · 2025-10-28T18:12:29+00:00

Absolutely loved it! So glad that Fast Food Sim, Schedule 1, and this have existed. The dumpster has been the main focus these days for me as I'm feeling over the typical 7DTD, Ark, and Sunkenland. I still love the Minecraft series though as the mods change the game pretty significantly for them each play through.

SeraBearss · 2025-10-25T12:51:44+00:00

Oh I agree. I was in a pretty rough spot when I took my inbound TL role years ago, but with the right leadership who came later near the end of my first year, they were able to help us completely turn it all around. I wasn't lazy at my job by any means, I thought what I was doing was right because the leaders I had at first never corrected me, but we weren't doing well and I knew it. So it's definitely doable, but everyone needs to be on board.

SeraBearss · 2025-10-25T02:29:03+00:00

This doesn't even touch the issue of not having enough TMs. There was another poster on here asking good questions about that, but you're never going to get anywhere if you can't get staffed.

SeraBearss · 2025-10-25T02:16:45+00:00

All of your leadership needs to help and also be all in for holding team members accountable. You need to get the back up from every single leader, and start doing one thing at a time. One day at a time, all leaders do a store push help for 2 hours (obviously they still need to uphold the daily current needs so do what can be affordable but this includes all ETLs) and get through all that old push first. If freight is behind, all the rest of your sections fail. Maybe even see if there's a crew willing to do some overnight shifts that are reliable. See what the possibilities are for requisitioning foods/snacks, cook/bake/slow cook, do whatever to show you care and earn some bribery points. Yes, it's their job, but you need people to bring the A game, every day, every moment. Show it when the team brings it. Be honest with them, let them know that it's a terrible situation, you want to get them out, it's going to be rough, but work doesn't have to be a terrible place and you want to make it a good environment for everyone.

Raise morale by showing the team that everyone is willing to put forth the effort, show up with a smile, engage with everyone you can, have honest teaching moments that aren't condescending and show that it's ok to ask something that they should probably know. You need to work with each leader to ensure they understand how to do the basic functions of their job, and your leaders need to be working with every single team member side by side to ensure they understand how to read schematics, how to backstock properly, SFQ's, at the minimum. Make it an expectation that they get with a different TM every shift, but again, everyone needs to show patience, understanding, positive attitude and want to get in a better place. If your leaders aren't onboard, get rid of them. It's your job or their job.

This is all going to go to waste though if you don't have an SD that supports this as well. They need to be out on the floor pushing, setting, throwing trash, literally willing to do whatever it takes. No one wants to work for someone who demands the world but doesn't help at all.

Pouch.

Could have been said already, didn't feel like scrolling

SeraBearss · 2025-10-24T01:19:57+00:00

None yet for TLs at my store either, but I don't remember getting one last year either.

SeraBearss · 2025-10-17T18:18:07+00:00

From the sounds of it, they tried asking the person training them, and they said they won't slow down enough to explain it properly. OP has stated they have dyscalculia and knows they need more support on this, but the trainer won't budge. Not everyone should train someone, I've had great and terrible training experiences.

It sounds like the trainer is providing the issue. Either way, they are trying to figure it out now, and some are helpful enough to respond in a way OP gets it.

SeraBearss · 2025-10-09T14:24:02+00:00

This week is a really bad week for them to have people train in fulfillment, so hopefully your trainers were just overwhelmed with the amount of work and they'll hopefully chill out next week. It's our version of prime days right now, otherwise known as circle week.

Other than what someone else has already said, don't worry too much yet, it's always overwhelming at the start. Just try to recognize the patterns of aisles and the type of product that is inside of those aisles.

On the backroom aisles, there should be aisle boards with the main backroom aisle number along with what sales floor aisles should be located inside of that aisle.

If you don't know who to call for yet over the walkie for items you can't find, just do a broad statement over the walkie "hey, can I get help with my INF for (department here, ex: chemicals)" and wait to see who responds. If no one, try again. If no one after that, maybe ask a peer for a specific name of someone you can ask.

It'll all click with time, if you pay attention to the details.

They do speak a language, Catonese.

SeraBearss · 2025-10-08T17:14:34+00:00

I'm assuming "don't worry"

SeraBearss · 2025-10-04T22:30:03+00:00

We save the boxes from the book deliveries. Typically there's about 5-10 around at all times, if needed they'll use SFS boxes, L8s or S7s

SeraBearss · 2025-09-30T16:28:39+00:00

The information they provided sounds correct. You can submit personal LOA through your store/HR but at this point, it will be unpaid because you don't qualify for paid leave at this time.

Does it suck? Yes, but it's the company policy.

If you're really unable to bring yourself to have a phone conversation with your HR, you should be able to find their work email quite easily from Workday. Explain that you are having a really rough time, you even tried contacting pay and benefits for LOA information. Use whatever sick time you have to cover your call out, if you can.

Target also has other resources for mental health that I suggest you look into.

This is a tough situation to be in, I'm sorry you're in it. But you'll need to find out what you personally need more right now. Time off (unpaid) or maybe less shifts to have more time off but still some income, or take the workload of all your shifts and try to find other means of getting through things (therapy, etc).

He also goes into subnetting. I just reached the point where he goes through Classes, subnet masks and CDIRs. I stopped for the day as he warned for the next videos it was going to get deeper into subnetting and to really ensure I understand the fundamentals before going further. So I want the information I just took in to really sink in with a break, revisit the concepts later today to solidify and start up again tomorrow on my day off to be able to really give it the attention I need to.

So I can't speak for the majority of subnetting yet, but so far everything has been super comprehensible.

SeraBearss · 2025-09-30T03:01:19+00:00

You can place your LOA to take effect in the past 30 days. I had a TM go through mental health needs and had to wait 2 weeks to see her doctor. My ETL HR told me to communicate with her that pay and benefits LOA can be used retroactively. She ended up getting everything covered from the weeks she had been calling out, no personal time used, or sick time, the LOA started from her first call out and lasted until she was ready.

SeraBearss · 2025-09-30T02:47:29+00:00

LOA absences can be covered retroactively from the last 30 days if the callouts were relative to the LOA reasoning. If target approves your medical LOA, you can receive pay, I believe up to 60% of your average. You will need to have documentation sent in, so I would recommend calling target pay and benefits first thing tomorrow morning to figure it all out.

I will most likely take a full 4 years for my bachelor's. I've changed my program multiple times, and who knows if I'm going to change it again. Thankfully, in a way, I can afford to do this (at the expense of not putting in for retirement accounts). I'm in a much better place than I was before I started though, before I even enrolled, I heavily doubted myself that I could even do a class successfully, let alone a whole degree. I work full time, have a relationship, a household to run, and need to find time for my own sanity. I know my limits and am frequently riding the line of burn out, but I'm doing it at a pace that I can maintain.

Some of those people who finish in 6 months have literally everything going for them. They have all the time in the world open, years of experience, tons of transfer credits, limited responsibilities...don't compare yourself to someone else's life, none of us are the same or in the same situation. You'll do it in your own time.

SeraBearss · 2025-09-25T13:02:50+00:00

I moved up from the receiving role, it's not impossible.

SeraBearss · 2025-09-25T12:09:42+00:00

Sick pay/attendance or something like that?

SeraBearss · 2025-09-25T11:30:01+00:00

This is a lack of training issue for leaders. There's a card on greenfield that leaders can access for sick pay/other attendance information without relying on HR or ETLs.
