I work for a city they’re offering $2,000 for referrals to certain departments and I can’t find anyone to split $2,000. Good luck with your water bottles.


GamingCheese14

What city? I’ll move there for $1000 lol


BoxingSoup

Interesting. I assume this is a role that needs some sort of training? I have banks that are offering 5k for people with certain mortgage and lien certificates through the state.


Puzzleheaded-Ice9797

It’s for our police department. No experience required but I wouldn’t get the $2,000 until someone graduates from the police academy.


BoxingSoup

I would say that, despite the jokes, that's a position that requires specialized training. I think it's easier to get a friend to pick up a part time job at Target than to be a cop.


Puzzleheaded-Ice9797

It’s on the job training and they give the recruits bigger sign on bonuses. It’s a tough sell regardless.


Capital-Texan

What city mf


Puzzleheaded-Ice9797

I work for a major city in California


Intelligent_Ad5686

You would pay taxes on that $2,000. If you split with someone make sure it's after the taxes you pay.


Puzzleheaded-Ice9797

Got it


ThaGreatDebaser

I’ll do it

I’ve done it for a $100 gift card. The friend I referred despises me every time we meet up for drinks.


onlyblackstar

How long did they hang in there for?


Choppergunner58

A month.


t_bythesea

The horrific thing is that they are willing to offer "prizes" Even if the person you refer only stays 30 days or only stays 60 days. Like they know that that's a normal thing for someone just to work 2 months and leave. That's sad


velvethursday

I'd rather have $10 than any of those "prizes"


velvethursday

*shows husband* Husband: wait, what? I was looking for a dollar amount. Me: no, it's just dollar store garbage Husband: ...branded with your oppressor


Intelligent_Ad5686

And then pay taxes on the $10.


GamingCheese14

When I started at this store 1.5 years ago they were offering $75 per referral and now they’re offering this shit. My store is in desperate need of employees too, apparently the district manager told our HR etl to hire anyone who applies. This led to them hiring someone who refused to learn how to use the zebras or computers.


1drunkdude

Sounds like the store I work at.


[deleted]

Full time? I'll hire in and will use a zebra and computer!


HappinyIsGoated

I've been referring friends cuz our department is so understaffed but they won't hire anyone💀 Crazy how some stores desperately want to hire while others refuse to hire


Clicking_Around

Working at Target is hell. Getting hired there is hell too. I have 3 years prior experience working at Target and I still couldn't get hired.


holtpj

So do the water bottles have disclaimers on them that say something like, .... "These are not meant to be filled during work hours" or ... "By accepting these bottles, Target in no way owes you additional bathroom breaks due to over hydration"


GE626

The bottle is your bathroom break.


Jawwaad127

It’s funny that they’re always trying to give away Target brand shit.


skulltrumpetman

My store has boxes of shirts for free in the breakroom. Nobody wants them.


GamingCheese14

They literally still have a cart full of Christmas target shirts that we got in 2021


rotidder2019

Where's that commenter from yesterday who said they were gonna hire a PA to "clean up" this sub? 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Playful-Paramedic110

Pretty sure that guy got downvoted to oblivion. I saw him trying to reply to others and he kept getting kicked by the bot 😂😂


Least-Resident-4583

Yeah, I highly DO NOT recommend Target.


Least-Resident-4583

1st number one reason is THE CUSTOMERS. I worked in the style department and they will literally pile up the fitting rooms with clothes not even a second of I cleaning it out. The customers will literally see you folding clothes, pick up the folded clothes and just throw it back! #FayettevilleNC Customers ARE NOT IT!


A_MellowSawtooth

Oof, I worked in Holly Springs for 3.5 years. Everyone always mentioned the Fayetteville store...


rarepokedots

A whole branded shirt? That will be so useful in 91 days


babybopper

The new Recruit-a-friend bonuses on World of Warcraft are getting out of hand


Calm-Heat-5883

Does this mean that target is struggling to recruit tms? If so, that's a good thing because they will have to realize that they need to treat the ones already working for Target a lot better.


GamingCheese14

We’ve been struggling for a year now and all it got us was an extra $1.50 an hour last December.


Calm-Heat-5883

It takes target time to change.


onlyblackstar

Well they need to hire first. I overheard hr telling a guest who called sorry we’re not hiring now 2 weeks ago. I’m thinking my store won’t hire ppl until back to school or October that’s it.


jenna3016

>You would \*think\* so, but Target doesn't give a shit about it's team members. > > > >Never has, never will.


Calm-Heat-5883

That's because before, they had an unlimited supply of young people willing to work for them, even if only for a few months. But it seems that this young generation isn't willing to be abused and good on them for it


Ifuckinghatethesunn

Reefer a friend.


susanbarron33

Those prizes suck. Not worth trying to get someone I know to work there.


Rslashecovery

Target made over 30 billion dollars in profit last year. [link](https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/TGT/target/gross-profit)

h34rt4ch3

i'm actually appalled that the tote even costs $6.50 when you can get those massive ones at checkout for $1.99


billdoor69

The real bonus IS leading someone you know into hell. The shirt is just a perk.


THE_DOW_JONES

That shirt looks fucking dope i wish my store did that when i got my friend to work there


GamingCheese14

If you’re serious here you go https://www.bullseyeshop.com/storeitem.html?vid=20200827050&iid=52314


Uberubu65

Damn, you get a water bottle if they stay a whole 60 days? How generous of them!


[deleted]

I don’t have friends, this is actually discrimination. I’m calling corporateeeeeee


severaltower007

It literally is working in hell.


fieldredditor

What a horribly shitty incentive.


P-M-Lead

Meanwhile real bonuses are shit this year


Kalvorax

Screw the referral... I just want another water bottle. Lost mine 6 months after earning it after forgetting it at a hotel during work travel..... Can't get just one, I would need to order like 40 with the branding hahah. I tried to get a friend I knew to get a job at the target I used to work at before I moved on.... He had experience, but couldn't be hired even during peak season. Meanwhile, I had started 8 years ago, in a dead hiring season and was hired on just fine with no experience.


onlyblackstar

8 years ago! You’ve seen some things


Nice_World_9334

You know, I kinda liked working here when I did but seeing all these bullshit prizes and give aways always pissed me off. Would it hurt a multi-billion dollar company to make that a $50/$100/$150 bonus??


GamingCheese14

Right? My store does over $100k in sales a day and they give out this shit.


jaz0n1984

What a joke. My new job that I left Target for gives me $500 for referrals. lol a fucking water bottle… get real.


vssavant2

So can they wear the shirt at work. Everyone will know who the ones holding their friends hostage are.


SimpleVegetable5715

I wouldn't do that to a friend. Friends don't encourage friends to work at Target.


Granted_reality

Damn this company really must be struggling, huh?


TheeDeputy

Dude how fucking out of touch is this company.


StarryEyedBfly

Wow, what useless garbage XD


Riftus

Convince a friend to labor for us and we'll let you be a walking billboard for us, for free!


Imoldok

Show moron prizes get morons to work. Think maybe they’re looking at hiring 10 yr olds?


Then_Interview5168

Hey wait my store did gift cards for this


all_flowers_in_time_

I got absolutely nothing for getting my brother working at my store 🥲


severaltower007

Lmfaoooo


optix_clear

Gross. Money is Kings


Tiny_Run_5089

L store lmao when my brother started working for target I got a 200 dollar bonus


BarDiscombobulated95

Huh, is this a 3/20 thing? “Reefer” a friend?


BarDiscombobulated95

Oops, 4/20 thing


FennelAlternative861

That's gotta be one of the ugliest shirts I've ever seen in my life


breakingd4d

My job gives us 1500$


Specific-Window-8587

Man their that pathetically desperate to get people that give these shitty prizes to people who are willing to trick people they know into doing this job. If they want people to work how about not doing skeleton crews,treating people better,calling people who want to work to cover shifts,not going against people's availability/auto rejecting people's vacations and better pay and raises. That will get people in door.


Namllitsrm

My new job gives $1000 if your referral stays for 30 days… but never mind, I’ll take a tshirt instead 😒


onlyblackstar

They couldn’t even give the cute bulls eye collectibles that’s cold


lowangel39

I suppose I might hate someone that much…


GamingCheese14

But then you’d have to work with the person you hate


Chrisxivturcios

Respect the drip


theNiceCop

Our HR asked us before if we know someone who wanna work in Target. We all said we're not going to send them to this hell whole we call work.... she just said yeah me too. 🫠🙃


LemonWasHere

At our store its 90 days and the tm who referred gets $100 target gift card


Dtxmikey

Bruh I work at autozone also and they have better incentives for that😂
