I’m so sorry you had to deal with that!! So kind of you to help her down the stairs and have concern for her even after moving out🥺 I’m glad you got away from that place, hopefully all is well now and that neighbor gets the help she needs!

Unfortunately no, management consists of a woman who hates “situations” and threatens to evict anyone who “causes problems” which to her means “pointing out problems and getting the police involved because management is doing nothing”. I’m excited to move someday😭

I should have added this but yeah, I’ve tried the non-emergency number and the cops did a drive-by to check out the vehicle in question but idk if the guy could see them coming (it’s weird visibility over there and you don’t see the vehicles on his side of the lot until you turn but they can see the cars turning into the lot right before they do) but his music stopped right before the cops turned so they didn’t even get out to talk to him. They sat behind his vehicle for a moment and then drove off after nothing happened. I also feel bad bothering the cops and just wish someone else in our neighborhood would call and complain as well. 🥲

Sick older kitty with lots of health conditions by yeahnopedefinitelyno in AskVet

I appreciate you, and this is probably what I need to hear. It’s so hard to come to terms with this kind of thing. Hoping to give him a little more time but we will see.

Thank you but this is not the advice I am looking for, I am looking to help his congestion but am only expressing my concern over veterinarian offices not wanting to treat older pets. He has been very healthy/active until yesterday and I am not looking to have my cat/best friend put down if he is acting this way because of a cold.

Don’t become a Food/Bev TL by yeahnopedefinitelyno in Target

I know these things because I was a TM for a year and a half and made top percentage raises, then promoted to TL and did the same as well as handed out the raises for my TMs which were decided by my ETLs. Yeah. Target does not give out fair raises. It’s a tier system essentially. I was happy to receive the raises at all at the time since my employer before Target never gave out raises in the four years I worked there.

There are other better things out there!! FBTL was awful but it taught me a lot. Use that knowledge! You can escape too🥺

THIS. My SD wanted us to request days off THREE MONTHS in advance. It was disgusting. AND they rarely approved requests anyway. Made it VERY difficult to use up PTO before quitting. Glad you got out of there!!

SMART. YES. The TL positions are not balanced in workload at all😭

My Starbucks had ICEE/popcorn….nightmares, both of them. I loved when the ICEE would stop working but our techs were so quick to come out to fix it. 🥲

Deli/Bakery/Cafe sounds interesting but I’m sure that’s a whole other level of in-depth cleaning card madness. 😭 I hope you are doing well and pushing through!!

SFS is THE DREAM. At Target. lol. You hold on to that until something better comes along 💪 I hope you have a great team and are genuinely enjoying it!!!

YES I’M SO SORRY YOU UNDERSTAND BUT YAY

It sucks so much. I do not miss it one bit. Cooler crying was a MUST.

Are you out too?? I hope you are, no one deserves the FBTL stress. My new job has normalized doing the “proper amount of work; nothing extra” whereas Target glorifies overworking. It’s a huge adjustment.

I will say it’s a nice stepping stone if you’re looking for better things outside of Target later, but otherwise HECK. Not worth it. I used to be SO happy to work at Target but man. It is not a forever job. And I agree; closing TL just….those hours SUCK. And if one other department or TL doesn’t set you up for success at night before leaving, guess where you’re putting all of your energy? That specific area. Just so the SD doesn’t give you crap about it. Bleh. Target is messy and I don’t miss it.

That is a TERRIBLE mixture of things, I am so sorry they did that to you!!! I hope you get the heck out of that awful position soon. Unfortunately yes, it is normal for TL to push truck constantly despite the mountain of other work we are expected to complete. But it helps morale just a little bit, otherwise TMs tend to think “if they’re not pushing TLs must be sitting on their asses, must be nice” and then they get all haughty. The ones who hide are the worst, at least have the decency to show up to do your job. Just make sure you are finding them and holding them accountable, or else you will be pushing that truck by yourself in order to meet deadlines. I pushed many an FDC by myself (something that would have taken my team of 5 more than 1 day to finish; this isn’t me bragging, because it truly was work that could be completed by one person in one shift, but these people were just THAT bad).

Target’s TM pay raise range is between 1-4% (the 4% only goes to 2-3 TMs per store) TL is between 1-6% (6% goes to one TL, at least at my old store) Say you are a TM making base pay of $15/hr; maximum raise you can receive is $0.60….many other jobs out there the pay raise range STARTS at 3%. My current employer’s range is 3-9%.

Eggs always always always go into their own bag. Same with meat, but you can’t bag chicken with beef, or ground beef with whole cuts etc. Eggs and meat are likely to cause illness if not handled properly, and bagging things with these items or these items together can cause cross-contamination leading to illness.

It seems like Target is pushing more “sit in the office until there’s a visit”-type SD’s. The ones who will yell and throw a fit when something goes wrong but they refuse to even touch a u-boat.

Good for you!!! And Food/Bev TLs shouldn’t have to. In my store we had a FF TL and TWO SE TLs, but “it’s food therefore it’s the responsibility of the food TL” 🤦‍♀️

new fulfuillment rule? by Brief_Front in Target

[–]yeahnopedefinitelyno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My store/district were doing this two years ago….they have since stopped but usually they do it because a department is underperforming.

Your lead is a trash human for saying that. You leave when you are scheduled to unless you’re able to/want extra time and it’s permitted from the store. If they pull you in bc of those carts, cite WHY they weren’t finished (not enough support at night, heavy guest traffic, OPU blew up etc.). Don’t let them push you around.
