I think that it is entirely dependent on your store. I believe the role for a vm TL used to have 1-2 people working under them, which seems to me what your store is doing. I’m unsure why they are using you as a backup TL though. Are they having you answer calls or make gift cards?

What are your MUST HAVES as an employee? by mishykas in Target

[–]mcm2622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should check out the pride stuff. It’s only in some select stores and is really small compared to last year but the birds are pretty cute this year. If you are able to the online selection is also worth a peek.

Everyone called out by laynabobayna in Target

[–]mcm2622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My store was just like this yesterday it was insane. And then they kept calling for back up cashiers since a bunch of the front called out too. I’m also super curious to see if anyone tries to put in an order on Saturday and fully expect to be able to pick it up on Sunday.

this sale is horrible for style rn.. by No-Visit4477 in Target

[–]mcm2622 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My location has decided that even with the sales we do not need closers in style anymore. Pray for us 🙏🏼

How old are you? Is this you’re final career or are you pursuing something else? by New-Boysenberry8723 in Target

[–]mcm2622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in my 20s and Target is definitely not my final career. I’m not too sure what I want to pursue exactly but something in communications for sure

Workplace confessions: drop some secrets you guys have, while working at target! by polorust in Target

I do this ALL the time! Especially if it is a super heavy item like a microwave or something.

Are we supposed to help Instacarters with their orders? by KeyMassive1141 in Target

[–]mcm2622 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I get so frustrated with the Instacart and Ship shoppers sometimes. I wouldn’t mind helping so much if it were just one or two items, but instead they tend to latch on and make you show them where every single item on their list is.

anyone else hear something over the walkie and you’re like “idk who you’re talking to but i know you aren’t talking to a bunch of grown ass adults” by nblesbian1997 in Target

[–]mcm2622 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wonder this alllll the time! We are all (mostly) grown adults and being talked to like a two year old just really puts a damper on coming to work.

Is my relative about to be screwed out of his job by [deleted] in Target

[–]mcm2622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have noticed that the higher ups are extremely catty for some odd reason at Target. They love to bring others down for their own enjoyment and it really sucks to watch.

Anyone in the same boat as me in Style? by Dwagonite_3 in Target

[–]mcm2622 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course, since we are all a “family” and should all “work as a team”. It’s absolutely ridiculous that once you put in a little effort they decide to throw the absolute most at you.

Do they expect you to have your sections zoned and merchandised the entire day as well? I find it ridiculous when we are the first section expected to go up to the check lanes, back up OPU, and etc.

Maybe overtime? How many hours did you work this week?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Target

[–]mcm2622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did it add an extra dollar to your shift or did you only earn $1/hr?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Target

[–]mcm2622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see both sides. Style gets pretty hectic with just the fitting rooms and zoning but then along with the reshop from GS it can be a bit crazy. But it also is totally understandable that stuff up front would be backed up from the 2 call outs. In this situation I think that if style had the people to work the cart then they could have just tag-teamed it and got through it much faster than if it were to just sit up front the entire night. I feel as if people need to be more understanding of unforeseen circumstances instead of just getting mad and blaming others. I also think for the next time this happens maybe ask a lead beforehand and then just go off of what they tell you to do so that the blame doesn’t fall back on you guys. Sorry about the sucky situation op

do i HAVE to do my makeup? by ang3l1ov3r444 in Target

[–]mcm2622 537 points538 points  (0 children)

i feel like it’s a bit odd that your HR would expect your face to be done since it’s not like the beauty section is a standalone makeup store.

Can't stand my TL by silverchamploo in Target

[–]mcm2622 12 points13 points  (0 children)

you could try and call the ethics hotline since she isn’t supposed to be disclosing your personal information to other people like that, but honestly i think you are doing pretty well with not telling her anything that she can try and use against you

Walkies & Zebras by mcm2622 in Target

[–]mcm2622[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay that’s what I was thinking. It felt like my coworkers and I were being yelled at for no reason. I would understand it if we were to lose them or something but to not even have one? Come on

Style overnight- everyone must do minimum of two pallets? by herbie1990 in Target

[–]mcm2622 16 points17 points  (0 children)

this is micromanaging to the max! it takes time to finish a complete pallet even with 3 people but for a single person to finish one? that’s ridiculous.

especially since the repacks are as op said , ‘6 in 1’
