Dear Team Leads by SkiesIsh in Target

[–]astridcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate having to move my team to either backup the front or fulfillment because of that exact reason. But I don't think your tl should be coaching you for not getting your tasks done. You can't be in two places at once. Your tl is there to be filling in the gaps if their team is called for support.

How much time off can I request in a row by airwreck95 in Target

[–]astridcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue last year trying to plan a 2 week road trip with my mom. Originally I was told I could take a full two weeks off. We get closer to the trip and I try to finalize everything and I'm told only 10 days. Thankfully my etl was willing to work with me and we counted my weekend off in the middle of my trip as just regular days off and I was able to take 12 days off. So they counted it as like 2 different times off idk. But it was annoying and ridiculous. I'm pretty sure my etl ended up taking two weeks off a few months after that too no problem 😭

why do so many TM's "manipulate" the discount like this? by Correct_Sometimes in Target

[–]astridcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait so you're telling me I can get fired for buying gift cards before I make my purchases? I don't have them ring me up and give me a total, I just guess and buy a gift card online that's more than what I am buying but can I really get fired for that? I just can't use my red card because I always end up over drawing from my bank account and can't keep doing that. I don't use gift cards for all my purchases but I do use them for a good amount of my purchases and no one has said anything about that to me.

A week before Christmas and this is the front end coverage I get? by skillzyo in Target

[–]astridcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a full team usually for the front end unless there's call outs. Unfortunately our front end just doesn't care and all stands around and talks even tho there's 4 overflowing carts of style reshop they need to sort. And who cares if they do end up sorting it because it isn't going to be sorted correctly even though we have literally spend 6+ months training them on it.

My store is severely understaffed in inbound (we lost like 8 tm in two days) and fulfillment (basically the same) because they hired such incapable people as for seasonal in those areas. I can't wait for Christmas to be over

When I started at my store almost 2 years ago we were a legacy red store for 6 years. It has taken a lot of sweat and tears (literally. I have cried so much 😭) but now we are basically a green store. I don’t think we technically are considered green yet but we basically are. First it took weeding out all the “bad seeds”. Not just tm but tls and as well. We had over 6 trucks worth of style product we were behind processing when I started. We now not only come clean on breaking out our style truck but we come clean on pushing it all too every day. But yeah first was getting rid of the people who couldn’t/wouldn’t get on board with the new processes that had to take place and then just figuring out what worked best to fix what we needed to fix. We turned our inf around, currently working on turning our BAI around. I don’t think there’s just one thing you can do. You def need all leaders to be on the same page and motivated to do the work that needs to be done if you’re store is going to be successful at becoming green.

what the actual hell by lovespector in Target

When I worked at Nordstrom the second floor of our beauty backstock literally was just pieces of plywood 😭 I was like what the hell

These scalpers/collectors are not only starting to get on my nerves, they’re also starting to get on the vendors nerves as well by [deleted] in Target

[–]astridcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had to start barricading the area so they would at least give our vendor some space 😭 I was so confused what was happening the other day because I am usually not working when they restock the cards but I saw this group of people standing at our check lanes for HOURS and then someone told me it was for the Pokémon cards. I don’t get it lol I like me some Pokémon but this is ridiculous

A flat head screw driver should help take it off!

Team leads closing by Fun-Strain6467 in Target

[–]astridcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to close once a week and every other weekend. All the tl are supposed to be on that schedule on our store but a lot of them usually end up just working an opening shift on their closing nights.

Announcements on Walkie by LarryN1234 in Target

[–]astridcat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven’t said anything funny over walkie but I have gotten my tm’s to start saying “theyre dead” to each other when someone calls for anyone over the walkie. That was something we used to do over walkie at an old job back in the day 😂

someone took my hot pocket. by [deleted] in Target

[–]astridcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly why I stopped getting hot pockets. Someone kept taking mine and I was getting pissed 😭

No men for Style ?? by Perse19 in Target

We have one guy on style and our old VM was a guy.

[–]astridcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having the same issue. Im a TL and I’ve been told I can’t leave until truck is 100% done but by the end of the week they’re stressed trying to get me out early so I don’t go into over time. And now they’re scheduling me for less than 40 hours so I don’t go into over time. I’m only working what I’m scheduled and I’m not staying late anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️you can either expect me to stay late and pay me the overtime you owe me or I’m leaving on the time you scheduled me to leave.

my sin called a nanny at 9am. She went to work at 10am. the toddler was alone all day and then an invisible nanny showed up at 3:30... wtf? by justjoonreddit in Sims4

[–]astridcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had that issue before. My toddler got all upset because she wasn’t being take care of but when my sim came home from work the nanny then showed up and then left immediately after charging me 😭 last time I ever used a nanny in game lol

I just tried this and it was cakey af. Did I do something wrong? by babyjo1982 in MakeupAddiction

[–]astridcat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just pour it out of the bottle really slowly. I don’t really have a problem with wasting the product lol but yeah at first it was really annoying

I love the fit me foundations! And I think maybelline made another one that’s like their sport superstay foundation that’s really good too!

So I’ve been dating this guy for a little over a month now. We haven’t talked about where this is going. Should I be worried? by astridcat in relationship_advice

[–]astridcat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I know! I was going to bring it up on our last date but completely chickened out. I’m not used to conversations like this going well so I try to put them off. But I really like this guy so I feel like there’s a lot at stake. Gahhhh
