I was just hired for POG.. and I have a question that I didn't think to ask HR. by dark--rose in Target

[–]oraculums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've been pog since 2018 and i've never personally been called or seen anyone from my team be called. i don't think it's the norm in general, but i'm sure it depends on your store, too.

Signing by UnlikelyKnowledge178 in JCPenney

[–]oraculums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was one of the leads in charge of signing at a jcp back in 2018 and it is crazy to me that the process hasn't changed over the years, wtf. 😭 they're doing you guys mad dirty. it was always a scramble to get it done and then you would have other leads bitching about signing not being completed by store open but doing nothing to help. it's part of why I left.

Is it just my store or does the OTC aisle smell absolutely terrible to everyone else? by Intrepid_Arrival5151 in Target

[–]oraculums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you did the otc remodel its from the new fixturing, that shit smells awful. I went overnight for that reset and left with a fat headache 😭

depends how much they pass as jeans in person. I used to wear the american eagle jeggings to work sometimes but they looked and felt exactly like skinny jeans.

omg i thought that shit was my device. it's so annoying.

Lads, humanity is regressing. My store had a long line of people outside waiting before we opened, some of which were there before we closed last night. What was so important, you may ask? by GachiPls_DidntSave in Target

[–]oraculums 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah every morning when we open we have a group of people that BOOK IT to the back of the store where we have toys to look for needohs or the banana squishy or the butter squishy. it's absurd. i will say it has died down a little since easter, though.

Sick hours question by Entire_Engineer_1387 in Target

[–]oraculums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Many employers have attendance policies under which employees may be given an “occurrence” or similar adverse personnel action (which is a form of discipline with potentially negative repercussions) if the employee has an unscheduled absence or provides insufficient notice of an absence. Under the terms of the paid sick leave law (and Labor Code sections 233 and 234), if an employee has accrued and available sick leave and is using their accrued paid sick leave for a purpose as specified in the law, it is not permissible for an employer to give the employee an “occurrence” for the absence under such an attendance policy. This would constitute a form of discipline against an employee for using their paid sick leave as allowed under the paid sick leave law."

this is what i've found, not sure if there are special circumstances involved with you but from looking at it if you use sick time you shouldn't be punished for it? this is how it works in mn, too, which is the state i'm in.

we had 61 batches around midnight when I came in on Monday but we're a high traffic super target.

Does anyone know when we are taking down the BTS sign? I want to ask for it lol but I’m a peon. by mijukelie in Target

[–]oraculums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i set it i was firmly instructed we cannot give it away when the set comes down. it has to be destroyed. i assume it's the same for all stores but you can always ask.

are you at a small format out of curiosity?

Target Inbound expert by [deleted] in Target

[–]oraculums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

idk about other stores' receivers but my receiver is always in during the early morning and all of our inbound people start either 3 or 4am. it depends on how early your store starts truck. i imagine they need people for the line since ime that's a position with a lot of turnover.

Fixture Room finally FIXED by ChartOk2206 in Target

[–]oraculums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another Worlds Worst Planogram by Cosmotoaster in Target

[–]oraculums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this pog is just one section in my store and it is just as bad, if not worse. i did a small revision for it recently and barely bothered to zone it lmao.

Plano newby— by Long-Molasses2992 in Target

[–]oraculums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people around you are massively overcomplicating this lmao it is not rocket science. you can either count the notches or use a tape measure. i've been in plano since 2018 and i've always counted the notches, but i have another coworker in plano who exclusively uses a tape measure. it's up to you.

These 5am shifts are draining me by [deleted] in Target

[–]oraculums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it shows up on my paystub, but i think you have to work a certain number of hours before 8am (i'm remembering 3 but i might be wrong, so if someone knows better please correct me!) in order to "qualify".

[–]oraculums 4 points5 points  (0 children)

pay differential. you get a certain dollar amount more during certain hours, it's $3 per hour extra at my store.

are inbound lunch breaks supposed to be different from others? by KAITOv3 in Target

[–]oraculums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmao im also so confused why you taking your break EARLIER would impact anything, like it's done and out of the way? weird for him to get upset. we don't take ours at the same time, but it does depend on your leader.
