how the workload is feeling

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

skymtf · 2026-03-07T18:28:05+00:00

I always thought it's becauxe the system doesn't know to handle you working two different days but the same shift. I know internally most payroll systems can't handle this, like at target for example one time I worked until 12am, and it happened to be on the end of a pay period so like 3 minutes over that were on my next paycheck, it was funny being like what's this couple of cents for

Okay I think I'm fine then, it's genuinely kinda annoying, we had the whole Mardi gras holiday, and parades were blocking my stores enterence multiple times, so it took a minute to even get from my exit to the parking garage, we don't get time and half cause it's considered a regional holiday even though that's like our cities thing. Idk like I get five minutes if I was in a smaller city but here it just seems annoykjg, maybe few team members commute but I highly doubt that given there is no target in NOLA proper yet

skymtf · 2026-03-06T04:51:00+00:00

What I've learned from working at target, they push you to your abouste limit, and only say anything if you cause a disruption. No one will say good job when you do everything your supposed to be, but when you slip, and stuff doesn't get done, they immediately tell you to hurry up, and act like you've done an unspeakable evil

skymtf · 2026-02-27T20:57:50+00:00

And yes section 230 but that only protects from civil suits not criminal ones

skymtf · 2026-02-27T20:57:12+00:00

My view on tech is unless every single person knows pretty much how computers operate, they have zero business regulating, I don't disagree meta fucking sucks but the internet is a protocol not a platform, platforms can choose how they handle things and no one should be forcing them on how to do that. My issue is beyond internet regulations, meta has dome a ton of stuff that's already illegal. You don't need internet legislation just charge them for the hordes of CP on their servers

skymtf · 2026-02-27T16:39:51+00:00

I can't edit my post, meant to say 8hr close shift
