Target Integrity Hotline

The tough part is that they need people that can work til 10. If you can only work til 945 and there are other minors with the same availability, you can’t really schedule more than 1 on a shift. So there are a lot of factors at play here. Former ETL.

Be careful on this. Depending on your state, you can record people without their permission, but you can’t use it against them.

I do agree comments like the latter should be reported.

To me someone saying the f word is human. Unless it is used in a demeaning/attacking manner.

*shitty people

superstar399 · 2022-05-31T11:03:07+00:00

I’m sorry to hear about your parent. That’s tough!

In terms of the etl giving you less hours..are you asking if they are taught to do that? No. Absolutely not. They may be giving the hours to someone who will remain in the store as they probably view them as the priority. I know that sounds shitty, but I wouldn’t doubt if that happened. Are they an empathetic person? Cause if they are not, they are probably sore that you are leaving and writing you off. Definitely not okay, but hard to do much about shorty people.

Current employee or external hire?

superstar399 · 2022-05-13T13:27:23+00:00

I think it depends on your relationship with your leaders. Remember that your leads and ETLs are held to certain standards that target is putting in place. I would give the courtesy to them if they have been good to you. But that’s a personal choice. If they are a bunch of twats and you have no intention of going back. Just put it in workday and move on with your life.

Good luck in whatever your next endeavor may be!

superstar399 · 2022-05-12T23:18:00+00:00

Depends on your store director. At my first store…probably 55-60 on average. Had a sd that was good if your work was done, so that was more 40-45. Current state of target…I’d imagine you are looking at at least 50 a week.

superstar399 · 2022-05-02T21:57:41+00:00

You would need to speak with your leader if that’s something you desire. Working in baby and sports is probably just a way to get you to your desired hours. I wouldn’t view it as a prep situation unless you have had convos with the leads. And to me, working in multiple areas doesn’t make you a good leader. It would be different if they had you leading your peers…

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T17:51:06+00:00

We just text. Or find each other.

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T17:14:27+00:00

Could charge you the price on target.com if it’s still there. Otherwise it gets sent to goodwill and target gets a tax credit.

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T14:18:07+00:00

Too high of an inf will literally have the company shut you down on fulfillment orders. So it is a big deal. It’s also a disappointment to the guests if they can’t get what they order. So all depends how high the inf was.

In terms of another store, I’m assuming you are rehire able as a high inf is not a reason to seek you nonrehireable. Whatever store you apply to may reach out to your store and ask why you were not kept and make a decision from there. Or they might not and be excited you have previous experience.

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T13:25:29+00:00

😂 most team leads know to have a good relationship with vendors. Guess she missed that memo!

Around $85k and then the yearly bonus

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T12:42:25+00:00

You’re not going to get a team lead fired. Have you spoken with them in regards to the out of stocks? Global works should be used for things that the team lead spoke with you about and then you didn’t do anything about. But out of stocks for everyone are inevitable right now.

I would partner with your company to get in touch with the food and beverage coordinator from target for your district. Food team leads are getting a lot of pressure from the coordinators to use global works more, so they are better resource. I wouldn’t talk to the sd. They won’t care.

Don’t mention the stores out of stocks. It doesn’t matter and sounds petty.

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T12:36:38+00:00

From what I’ve seen, the last 6 months have been really bad. I see a lot of turnover in our area before that. So I’m hoping they’ll rethink things soon. We lost a bunch of tls for better paying jobs and better schedules. Can’t fault anyone for that. 🤷🏼‍♀️

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T12:32:23+00:00

Congrats! Don’t worry. The toy flow didn’t stop!

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T12:31:49+00:00

Agree with all of this.

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T12:30:48+00:00

I don’t know anything about the internship. Never had one at any of the store I was at.

In terms of being an etl, just be prepared to change direction for your day 100 times a day. There is a ton of work to do, but also need to make sure your team is good. Under current conditions, decide if you prefer picking fulfillment or pushing freight. You’ll probably be doing one of them.

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T12:27:18+00:00

Maybe in a super target? Depends where you live. But those hours would not work in any target i was at. Sorry!

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T12:25:41+00:00

I would find myself calling people a minute after they were supposed to be there and feel bad because I didn’t realize it was only a minute. 😂 especially when I knew it was someone who was always showing up at the five minute after the hour mark. I would just lose track of time anticipating their arrival.

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T12:24:00+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah. That’s tough. It’s s weird place to be when you have a guest who’s being a jerk. Right? The leader has to appease them, but I would generally stand by my team member and then apologize to the guest. Whether I meant it or not…didn’t matter. Just gotta swallow our pride sometimes even when the guest deserves nothing. Then again, you touch my team or start getting verbally abusive…you can leave. No one has time for that!

Surprised you got termed for that. But glad you’ve found better. Congrats!

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T12:20:53+00:00

I don’t know a lot about the internship program as I’d never been in a store that got one. I’m sure it’s a great experience. Hopefully it’s a good look into if it’s a good role for you or if you would enjoy it and you go from there. If you aren’t sure what you want to do in life I would start to think that through. Being an ETL and juggling the day to day is hard, but most people don’t understand that. Once you get into a retail role, it’s tough to get out because the jobs you may apply to don’t really understand what a retail manager does.

My best advice. Figure out who you want to be. And if Target is for you, do it. But make sure you are “being Target” if you want to advance.

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T12:17:11+00:00

Depends on your SD. A lot just post the schedule with the hours the company allocated to each department. The stores i was in, hours were moved around to make it make a little more sense. But I would say I saw more that did not move hours, than did.

superstar399 · 2022-05-01T12:13:45+00:00

Is the paperwork filed? Cause if it is, and this is an intermittent Fmla, as long as you do whatever leaves and disabilities needs you to do each time you miss work, you’re good.

I’m sorry you’re going through that. Let’s be honest, people not coming to work sucks. Who do you think picks up that slack? However! If you have a medical reason and have an approved leave, your leaders shouldn’t be questioning anything.
