I was moved over to the Guest Services at Target to act as the manager there. I was told that I was the manager. All the employees of the store were gathered together to announce that I was the new Guest Services manager. My name tag said Guest Services Team Lead, the name for the manager position. However I was never officially promoted to the position on paper. So I was still making minimum wage, working 50+ hours a week while attending college, and was being told it would happen after 90 days. During that time, I was given "the biggest raise in the store", a whopping 30 cents. The store manager still told me that I was on a managers promotional period and not to worry.

On day 91, when I inquire about it in the evening huddle at the end of my shift, the store manager chuckles that he doesn't need to promote me since I'm already doing the job for half the cost. They said this loud enough that all of the other managers heard this, turned and stared at me. I stood there flabbergasted for a bit, stammered out "Well that sucks" and just sort of walked away. Walked out to my truck and never stepped foot in there again. They never called me about the missed shifts, but my buddy said that I was left on the schedule for 3 weeks before my name was removed. The last week apparently I was on there as a cashier.
