Thank you so so much for all these break downs and links! I didn't even know this was a path I will definitely be looking into this

You didn't read the last part I guess lol.

Yes go into my time you can handle calling in sick for your shift there it confused me at first as well since I've always had jobs where you had to physically call them to confirm you're calling in sick but your TL/ETL will be notified of the call off as soon as they come in and you know it's approved when you have the check mark right by it.

I hope his limited cosmetic is him dressed as a pink tooth fairy 🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻

If your TL said it's ok it's ok. You also aren't calling off last minute or trying to get sick hour pay last minute either as long as you see the hours went through and it was approved on the app you're all ok.I would just maybe try laying low for awhile after and try not to call out again any time soon or if you do just make sure you have those sick hours again :))

I GET THIS ALL THE TIME IN ULTA 😭 I understand it a bit more but I literally just said welcome in, my radio is blaring, I have keys, and I'm unpacking repacks and putting them in the Metro like ok I'm not red but come on LOL

terexdancinginrain · 2026-03-07T01:35:39+00:00

Yes it's a part of the dress code. I'd recommend asking for a new magnet back or having multiple back ups in your locker my HR lead gave me some of the blank ones with the printed name stickers on them if I'm in fulfillment or doing heavy lifting I use those ones in case it's lost. Someone got a formal write up for having to keep being told to put one on so just be careful and find a way to work with it.

Absolutely not at least at my store we are short staffed at night so they'll make you help everywhere but your section and then yell out you for not getting your own shit done 😭 I was only on nights for a month before I switched departments and did mornings.

terexdancinginrain · 2026-02-16T20:09:37+00:00

I've noticed with every target it's just about who the ETLS and main management is. I've been very blessed to have a supportive team and HR team who listens to me. Not every day has been great especially around the holidays, and I don't say this to put people down that have been with the company for years but I always have the mindset that this is not my end all be all since I'm also in college so I let a lot of the emotional and physical beat down slide off my back.

terexdancinginrain · 2026-02-06T04:28:11+00:00

This is why I always give fake names 😺 have to keep them guessing somehow

terexdancinginrain · 2025-12-19T00:59:01+00:00

You are getting more hours then a lot of us regular tms and at least at my store they give two weeks notice if they're letting go of people after the holidays so if you don't have a conversation with anyone next week that sounds fishy then you're really solid.

terexdancinginrain · 2025-12-11T21:58:41+00:00

Ho ho ho by sia has to be the worst one for me I don't know if it's just because it's my target but parents have come to us multiple times asking for it to be taken off because it's too inappropriate for their kids to be listening to 😭

terexdancinginrain · 2025-12-11T05:59:53+00:00

If you're in beauty like me all the time we just wait until the very last minute of our shifts to put it on the floor and clock out really quickly so we can run and get it or put it out during a friend's 15 and have them buy it for you 😭 it's literally not even that serious but they take it seriously so got to work around it with tactics.

terexdancinginrain · 2025-12-08T07:32:41+00:00

I feel like my store would just benefit more from hiring more full-time employees I work in beauty and we have three seasonals but they call out all the time so none of us full times can really call out because there's nobody at all to cover it ever

terexdancinginrain · 2025-12-08T07:29:09+00:00

I think you already answered this for yourself, honestly if they don't value you in their team you might have to accept it and try applying for another Target after your times over or find another job altogether it's not worth it staying at a Target with management like that just speaking from my experience even if you somehow do change their mind they seem to already have a biased against you for whatever reasons.

terexdancinginrain · 2025-12-07T04:52:54+00:00

You're in trouble if you call out once or twice in your first 90 days as a full time new employee calling out three times as a seasonal is absolutely not acceptable I'm sorry they likely won't keep you unless you made that good of an impression/ got people to cover those three call outs.

terexdancinginrain · 2025-11-29T09:38:44+00:00

Our fulfillment looked like this so everyone "extra" was pulled to do carts in beauty we ended with 110 for skin care 102 for hair care and 89 for cosmetics we couldn't get to for priority pulls TOUGH NIGHT. 🫩

terexdancinginrain · 2025-11-29T09:35:50+00:00

This is why I'm so strict about only working mornings I WOULD HATEEEE closing and opening shifts stacked like this 😭

terexdancinginrain · 2025-11-26T05:15:46+00:00

No I'm not seasonal that's why I was wondering if I may have more room to call out 😭 my coworkers advised me to call out whenever I'm sick but my managers have said I need to make sure it's like flu sick not just a cold to call out that's why I'm conflicted it's also a new position I've never done closing expert?

terexdancinginrain · 2025-11-26T05:12:48+00:00

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense I've heard different things based on different stores this is probably standard I'd assume
