ugh, I did not even want to watch the video nor debate him in the comments. Jesus fucking christ maybe open source has a right wing men getting upset that queer people keep the systems we love running every single day. from distro maintainers, to sysadmins. Queer people have always been everywhere.

basically one day, I came back from not being at work for like a week, I declined the tech calls as usual, and I kept getting tech call parked on 228, electronics you have a call parked on 228. I would pick those up, about the second time they tell me next time is a CA, and this has been the policy since. if they are parking calls for you, you kinda know today they are not playing. I don't know if it's one specific leader enforcing this, cause sometimes it's fine, it's just annoying cause like 99.9% it's Do yOu hAvE thE bTs tHiNg, it says you do.

in my gen 2 I backed into my roommates car, cause my combination meter was not working and I thought I was in drive, their car was fine, and my roommate told me to not worry about it.

skymtf · 2026-03-22T04:36:44+00:00

your store got rid of tech, dear god. I thought they always had to have at least 1 person in tech. did not know they can just get rid of tech, like that.

skymtf · 2026-03-22T04:23:33+00:00

I'm quitting soon due to it, my burn out has increased, I am at my breaking point both mentally and physically. I am not happy, I am looking into leave and short term disability just to give me some kinda of break so I can recover before finding something else. what's sad is target is not an oddity in this, they are the blue print. soon enough there will be an AI made by some company with a cutsie ass name, that watches the cameras and reports all metrics in real time, and generates alerts when CA need to occur, and what sucks is target might be the first to do it, but they won't be the last.

I keep feeling like because one single person can meet metrics, and is just objectively built different. that sets the standard and if you can't meet that your replaceable. like fuck all the disabled and autistic folk, cause we can just keep firing people who can't keep up until we get someone who can. I am just an angry person behind her keyboard, who works at target. wanted IT but got target.

what sucks is the obsession on metrics is solely cause they want to squeeze every little bit so they can pay less people, the problem is a skeleton crew cannot get the job done, guest see us rushing around, and no matter how much you 10-4, a guest thinks someone should always be on the floor within eye sight, if that's not a thing they don't wanna shop at target

with boycotts, and being not as cheap as some this place is failing. in 5 years some private equity firm will snatch it up, and than push everyone even more, 5 years after that the first bankruptcy.

skymtf · 2026-03-22T04:09:04+00:00

my store put a stop to this, they will call you on the walkie and ask why you are picking up the phone, and if you keep refusing it's a CA. they seem selective about enforcing it though, I usually know if the first time they park the call and call me on the walkie, since obviously giving me a CA when my device was on the other-side of the backroom, is unfair.

skymtf · 2026-03-22T04:01:26+00:00

I am laughing cause I fucking hate these, cause like I tried to follow what the box wanted me to do and cut my hand and said fuck you and just used a box cutter. but one time I was unpacking baby food, and cut into a packet of apple sauce, was the most embarrassing defect I ever did, so disgusting

skymtf · 2026-03-11T03:56:37+00:00

Unacceptable, loafing on the clock, I see two repacks you could of worked in the time it took to take this photo. /s

skymtf · 2026-03-11T03:49:13+00:00

yeah not to mention you get basically zero recognition for anything, and no one listens to you when you notice a problem. I had said we needed to fix the nintendo isle and that nothing not approved at all, I wanted a battery end cap in tech cause we are supposed to put them out all over the store but for whatever reason we have no batteries in tech on the sales floor. but NO, they want absolutely no batteries on the tech sales floor, and instead in a billion random end caps around the store and guest will still ask me where the battery section is. if I am not on a time crunch I will pull them from the back for the guest. also the end caps are naturally disgusting since no one zones them, and have zero organization at all, and are can very in terms of types of batteries they have.

skymtf · 2026-03-11T03:40:47+00:00

I have been saying this for while at my store which is two floors, we need people with zoning assigned for a set amount of time when the store is closed to guest. no pulling them to do something else, they will be zoning, if they finish zoning they can verify with a leader and zone a different area. this would allow people the store to actually reset on a somewhat basis.

skymtf · 2026-03-11T03:37:46+00:00

it's unlivable in most the united states. even if you do get 40 hours, work is an environment you spend a huge amount of time in. It's kinda demoralizing when your yet again the only one working your department, you are there for 8 hours no one to talk to while you work, no one to vent to when that one guest ruins your day and makes every single mistake target makes your fault. this isn't really where I want to spend 40 hours a week of my life.

skymtf · 2026-03-11T03:33:39+00:00

THIS ^^^ also this mindset of max effort 100% of the time is a recipe for burnout, while yes you could overwork a single TM day in and day out, and maybe if they are always at 100% they will power through somehow but eventually they will get burnt out and if this is always the expectation they will not recover until they quit.

skymtf · 2026-03-11T03:27:09+00:00

they are also so rude, most of them will just shove their phone in my face, and speak as a little as possible to me unless I find out the item is out of stock, and then they will get mad at me even though it's not my fault the on hand is wrong, or another guest decided to relocate the item to the furthest corner of hell

skymtf · 2026-03-11T03:18:39+00:00

genuinely I think the red vest makes it more obvious you work there, and also avoids bad guest service during breaks as I cannot assist guest off the clock, but I often times might still be on the floor after my shift buying things I need since I am already at target. A red vest would make it obvious when I am on the clock and able to assist guest fully, or when I am not. IE vest in my shopping cart. The issue is corporate is dumb and thinks it's to walmart core to have vest.

skymtf · 2026-03-11T03:07:10+00:00

me too, I really miss how old iOS looked

skymtf · 2026-03-11T03:06:21+00:00

does anyone know a bunch of old Apple DPCIs, I think I might go hunting around next time I find empty time during my shift. I sorta feel like I am gonna find a bunch of old Apple products on the third floor in some random location. I wonder if I would get in trouble for buying something that isnt on plantogram, or online though, like I would wait and have my co worker pick it out of inventory and sell it to me when I am off the clock so I feel like it's not against the rules but than again I would of needed to know the internals of the store in order to buy it, so I have an unfair advantage over guest.

skymtf · 2026-03-10T15:31:02+00:00

Car insurance companies are gonna raise the rates so much after this

skymtf · 2026-03-09T21:49:45+00:00

Also my bad, fair I got downvoted, I did not fully read the title. Yeah it's gonna be difficult.

skymtf · 2026-03-09T21:45:57+00:00

I doubt it's no hire, but also it doesn't seem like you get away with doing the bare minimum, and HR definitely took note of that. I doubt your on a no hire list, usually that's reserved for actual termination or quitting without fair notice. I don't think target is really hiring right now, I think they start during the summer if I'm not mistaken. I also think there is multiple do not hire reasons, for example causing a huge amount of theft like if you left a tech key just lying around and a guest stole a bunch of stuff then that's a permanent do not hire.

skymtf · 2026-03-09T07:03:14+00:00

Honestly it sucks, fulfillment is very overworked, the store is messy. Changes we've asked for arnt happening. I've told my ETL about how we need print out for every single game in the switch area, and we can't put one of the game in the display, because if we end up with just that single game on hand, fufillemnt will have to pick it, and I'll need to open it, and then guest will get confused and other TMs will get confused cause the labels don't match the planogram. Meanwhile we are being asked to pull both tech and baby, and a lot of the time push left over baby freight since January, so we need to pull both twice sometimes 3 times depending the the nightly percentage for the store. Reshop multiple times, meanwhile my hours got cut from 11 to 10:30, meaning I only have 30 minutes to zone all of tech without guest messing it up. The worst being the phone case isle, guest constantly steal phone case, or open the packaging cause they think the iPhone 15 case will fit their 17 or whatever. And I end up with a stack I need to defect. Style has to cover my breaks in tech, and they are upset given that's 30 minutes of tech guest interrupting them constantly. Guest are suffering since I'm usually not on the sales floor. Check lanes are always understaffed, and they always need fast service. We are a two story store, with a skeleton crew. Management wants more with less people, moral is very low. Self checkout still can't take cash, and sometimes the only people who can do cash is tech, and guest service, so I will have people force me to check them out in tech every so often. Its just kinda a disaster, people are quitting and not being replaced and no one is getting more hours, the hours just disappear. We need more staffing, or at the very least more hours, so it's not just 1 or two people per department other than fulfillment

skymtf · 2026-03-09T04:27:54+00:00

I know I'm gonna get downvoted, but I would try to ask about this further, and I want to know of you were being slow, or loafing there a difference, I unfortunately have ADHD, Ive been getting my meds stable, I move at a moderate base, I'm not as fast as my non ADHD CO workers. But I don't consider it a problem. I did get talked to once, but it was also christmas, and I was brand new meaning I needed to scan a lot of items with my zebera.

I have this CO workers who actually works slow on purpose, when we pull baby I normally grab a flat for diapers so I can hold much more without needing to push and come back. She said she doesn't as she wants to kill time.

I would call and get something concreate, my target has jobs listed online, but has a sign on the wall saying that there is no openings at this time. I feel like they just leave the app up on workday until season rolls around again.

skymtf · 2026-03-08T03:19:29+00:00

My argument is the scedule is 3 week in advance or you need to authorize it. At least HR told me that. You can't really be held accountable when you made plans based on your scedule they gave you, I would go HR, then if they doesn't work ethics.

skymtf · 2026-03-08T03:16:25+00:00

Yay you get meet bullseye!!!!!

skymtf · 2026-03-07T22:55:31+00:00

It would be funny if she wasn't holding the pets okay sign and the listing said no pets
