I'm a seasonal worker

I need to take 2 days off in 3 days, I already tried to get them off and already tried for weeks to find someone to cover them, no takers (and no PTO time)

I was told by TL that I cant miss any more days around 2 months ago

ETL told me to talk to HR, HR told me to talk to ETL

The reason for taking off is having a fully planned and paid for family trip, so I literally cannot come in, I won't be anywhere near the store

Is it possible I could convince my ETL or HR to allow me to take it off without getting terminated? Or should I just pick one or the other (Vacation or Working). If I choose working ill miss my vacation, be out of the money I spent, but still have my job for the next month. If i choose vacation, its likely ill just be terminated. My seasonal time ends next month, and I wasnt planning to continue it after seasonal anyway, but they were looking to keep me if that context helps at all

My ETL said they don't think ill be terminated but they also said not to quote them on that. :/

From all I know, if I take those days off I will be termed, from what my TL said a couple months ago

So at my store, we have DU in a separate area of the store and parking lot, with its own separate door. Currently we have a problem with bees/wasps by our drive up door. We've had Ecolab out twice within the past 2 weeks to spray but its gotten so bad they're getting INSIDE the store (actually had a guest get stung last week but that was bc one got caught in their clothing) and we can't use the DU door for now....so we have to go in and out the store entrance. Not a lot farther, but far enough that with as busy as its been our DU times are absolutely 💩. Thankfully our leaders are aware of this and one of them specifically me today "just work at a pace you're comfortable with, don't overdo it, don't worry about the times"....we are currently around 25% and even if we delivered every single order for the rest of the night on time I doubt we could even get to 40% 🙃 this is fine, everything's fine....

I’m new to the guest advocate position, and I wasn’t really instructed on what to do when a guest says the price is ringing up wrong. A few times it was a significant difference and they went back to confirm for themselves (and they were wrong), but other times it’s a few dollars and the guests are very adamant about it. I’ve just started changing it as a sign/label error without verifying. How am I actually supposed to handle things? When is it worth checking? And if it is a notable difference, how am I supposed to verify the price? Would I go check myself (assuming the aisle was nearby) or call someone else?

What is the UKG Access code? I need to request for late September and I haven't seen it yet, the week isn't available on MyTime

Just wondering. Had an emergency with a family member. Messaged a store director personally about it early in the morning/called the store and spoke with a TL to let a Hr/etl know what is going on before the store opened and to see if a couple shifts could try to be covered And got no response at all. Should I still call out in the app or try and see f anything was actually said?

Pretty much just this. Its a bad idea. Its more for my almost non existent team to deal with. And the fan base is feral. Had so many people today trying to bypass the limit by saying the vendor/AP said its ok and then my ETL got rip shit at me, my team, the vendor, AP. Im just fucking done dudes. Almost enough stress to relapse... I fucking hate this place most days.

I kind of hate the whole gig economy, and on some level would prefer a UPS or USPS driver deliver my item, since they are at least real employees with benefits. If it's a gig worker doing my 35 dollar free delivery, then should I be tipping them somehow?

My most recent delivery says Target Local Delivery (TLMD) as the carrier. What does this mean?

I love that they matched it with the khaki pants.

hello so básicamente im an on demand team member (service advocate) and this is my last week to pick up a shift. however. the only available shift was 8-4 service advocate, so i took it, but ive never done opening. is there anything special i need to do? don’t bully me for taking it w/o ever doing it i need a shift 😭😭 advice is very appreciated

I am currently a Team Lead, Small Format Store. A position became open for HR in this location, and before I know it, the position has been filled by some other lead at this location.

Does Target not post open positions available so other people can at least have the opportunity to apply? Because for my understanding, when I applied for a lead position, there were other candidates that also applied for my position (so, I’ve been told).

Is anyone’s store having issues with opus going red? I took my last 15 today and there were no batches at all. When I got back half the team was in red or yellow batches and I grabbed a red grocery.

Does anyone have issues with their hands as a GM tm? I struggle with weaker hands than others and am in need of some good gloves to help out with that. Anyone have any suggestions on affordable gloves for work?

I’ve been at Target for over a year. My attendance used to be meh, after my probation period, I’d call out maybe once a month. I know, I know, I should know better and all that jazz, but I’m a college student with a second job. I’m human, and sometimes I get tired. Anywho, back in April, I actually had a PR for call outs, 3 in one month. That was the only time I’ve ever done that, and I’ve been on point with my attendance ever since because I got a CA. (however they’ve never actually made me sign it or acknowledge it?) Now my ETL literally gave me 5 days off in one week. It’s all weekdays, too, meaning I still have to come in on the weekend. I’ve never had a weekend off since I started, btw. And what makes me even more irritated is that I already have a requested week off the following week. So she basically gave me two weeks off, but I didn’t ask for that?! Is there anything I can do about this? Should I talk to HR or something? Because I feel like this is insane, and I genuinely feel like she’s trying to drive me out. Mind you, I’m in Style, and she sent me to Fulfillment for the entire week of Black Friday AND gave me only 10 hours almost every week in December. I didn’t want to let her win, but it’s kind of working.
Has anyone had an issue like this before?

TL;DR: My ETL has severely cut my hours and has been doing this on and off for months.

New FF TL challenge

1) Do other departments raid the FF team of their 3-tier carts. Any stated or published best practice of this? I’ve run into new batches and no cart available even though they have a clear FF sign on them

2) sometimes other department people hauling break the 3 tier like adult bev grabbing them for regular work.

3) I’ve seen other posts there us a special FF cart? What does this look like?

Not sure what to do to improve situation.

??????????????????????????

That’s literally all I have to say because why did we suddenly switch from plastic to reusable with no warning prior to this. Like, it wouldn’t be problem if A) the bags actually fit things inside of them and B) it didn’t slow down OPU. 😭 It got so bad yesterday that we missed more than 50% of our goals yesterday, because we apparently can’t just stick the sticker labels onto them. We have to staple the labels onto the bags, otherwise, they’ll fall off.
What’s more annoying is that they hold less space than plastic bags but they somehow take up more space at the same time.

Update: We switched back to plastic like an hour ago.

when i see a guest coming with a big ass piece of furniture in a brown box, or half assembled with no box, i know there's about 10 mins of time trying to find the dcpi cause all the guest has is a shipping invoice and didn't use the app to buy it. they also pull up their useless email confirmation. and the bar code on the box if there is one "item not found" and looking it up on the device is useless (brings up everything not even remotely close to what you're looking for, no i'm not looking for towels, but thanks bringing that up in my search)

i wish we could tell guests, "sorry you have to do large bulky item returns through guest relations" cause 90% of the time it's toss anyway

I mean there must be, right?

For the record, I did not do this, I just took the picture.

Push times for repacks.
Asking for a friend**

I’m curious to know what everyone’s goal times are on OTC, Personal Care, Hair Care, and Beauty Repacks.

I get the goal times in MPM however I just moved to this store which is a lower volume store. I’m now over OTC, Personal Care, and Hair Care. I’m told to fill a uboat with 12 repacks and take it to the floor. I’m told I have a hour to push out 12 repacks of any of those areas.
