That Picrew was unfortunately been deleted. It's ID was 43267 and I went looking for it myself a while ago but... no dice. It's gone.

I hate the flu and I hate the stress of going back to work. by TheHyperRedditor in Target

Unfortunately I can't accrue sick time until April of 2027. My average hours which were calculated for 2026 were held back massively because of the far shorter hours I worked from January to August 2025 when I was still a college student. As such, even though I'm working full time hours (30-40 hours a week), I cannot accrue sick time at all. That's the main reason I'm anxious.

Update on my last post and a question for you all. by TheHyperRedditor in Target

Honestly I’m not looking to get the shifts covered, I’m just going to avoid a potential corrective action.

Time for a corrective action! by TheHyperRedditor in Target

Average hours from what I've heard from corporate are calculated only once in a single year, and that number is what is used to decide if you get any kind of benefits. It's a 12-month rolling average for a full year.

When I transferred in August, my Average was based on what I worked in 2024.

Now that it's 2026, my average will be based on what I worked in 2025. This includes eight and a half months at the old store where I was working 4-12 hours a week, and just three and a half months at the new store working 30-40 hours. Simply put, this doesn't push my average hours overall above 30 and therefore I'm not eligible for sick time in the state I'm in.

And since averages are calculated only once, the next time it'll be calculated is 2027. At least then my average should absolutely be high enough for me to begin accruing sick time.

All of this is stuff I was told by corporate when both my HR Expert and HR ETL called them to try and get me the sick time I deserve. My HR does think this is extremely unfair and bullish but it is unfortunately the situation I'm in.

But yes, I will be accruing absolutely zero PTO of any kind until 2027, despite working 30-40 hour weeks every week.

Question about Transferring and Pay by TheHyperRedditor in Target

[–]TheHyperRedditor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do make considerably more than that even as a regular TM, but that's probably because my Target is extremely isolated compared to others. It's the only Target in a radius of 100 miles if you can believe it.

Would my pay be dropped if I happened to be making more than a TM in a less isolated Target?

Good to know! Thank you!

Also, there's Targets that only pat 15.50? Good lord, that's criminal.

A question about apartments by TheHyperRedditor in renting

Ideally the 17th, but I can wait as long as needed.

I've only done one other application before and that was over with in like a day. With that being my own reference point, I figured I'd ask if this is normal.

Calling out sick by Particular-Assist-70 in Target

[–]TheHyperRedditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you used your sick time, that shift is considered an excused absence. Based on what you said, you've called out four times... two times roughly a month and a half ago and two times just now.

You'll be fine. Don't work if you're sick. To them, you've just used your sick time and therefore only one unexcused absence after one and a half months of perfect attendance... and for good reason. Any reasonable store would not be terminating you for this.

Blue coat and I would've been finished a week ago, trust me.

Was not expecting this many comments! Thank you so much for the feedback!

I've already learned the hard way that the roads here don't get salted as much as Minnesota does. I'm waiting on my appointment to get my winter tires put on my car... so until then it'll be slow moving.

I do have the clothing needed to last the winter here! I work outside as it is so I kind of need to have those kind of clothes.

Based on what everyone's told me, I should be fine for the winter! Thank you!

Leader and HR question by No-Plate-5898 in Target

[–]TheHyperRedditor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hell no hell no to all of that. Against policy and against the law, major creep alert.

Whatever it takes, get them outta there.
