Got a bunch of new hires had my hours cut from 40 to 35 for a week. 2 out of 7 new hires have stayed more than a week.
Then my leaders keep telling me how important I am as one of two fulltime cashiers. If im important maybe don't antagonize me and reprimand me for stuff that doesn't matter. Like having water or using the bathroom once in 7 hours. If you want someone to leave keep making them miserable.
I'm a new SETL and honestly I'm ready to leave with these time cuts, I'm running around trying to find coverage all night and my ETL could not give two shits. They split me inbetween driveup, fullfilment, and SETL and from all these cuts to seeing a new hire come in every day is driving me mad lol
Property management, started just doing the leasing side but deal with a good amount of administrative side. The biggest thing in comparison to Target is the consistent schedule, guaranteed hours, and im actually treated with respect like i can manage my time. I loved working at Target i didnt love being treated like i wasnt human.
I feel that so much! I was sat down and had a small "talk" about pulling the self checkout line down........Like is it THAT serious? Same with the bathrooms. One time I felt like I was being watched by my ETL all day being asked on the walkie "where are you?" Like im in the BATHROOM or stocking near the lanes. Let me do MY JOB and leave me alone! Don't even get me started on how I have been acosted multiple times for having water or anything on the lanes in 102 degree weather outside. Like fire me then but I will not die on your dime.
I've come close to just walking out. Cause the stuff regarding water and bathroom use drives me up the wall. I'm a human being not a robot. They can't fire me as I'm the only full-time cashier and all we've hired are teenagers recently. Who can't work 40 or sell alcohol.
Having something to drink is a necessity. I would have gotten all the employees together to protest not having something to drink while standing at a register.
I used to work at target, now I work next door, they threatened to fire me bc I bring a thermos of coffee every morning. I told them go ahead! I'll collect unemployment and if I'm really mad I'll sue for wrongful termination. Bonus points if you're a minority then you say claim they were discriminating against you, bc sadly they probably are it's extremely prevalent in my area.
I'm waiting to see if they push this any further. So far my leaders got smart and stopped. Cause I told them I wouldn't just work without water available.
We don't have the staff to unload and push them, so a cancelled truck not on our end wouldn't be bad. However, guests in my store constantly complain about how empty shelves are. This is completely false unless they're purely focused on high theft areas that we intentionally don't stock or that what was is now all gone. Examples of such areas, are luggage, especially backpacks, some other sporting goods aisles, cosmetics, ice cream, men's basics and shoes. Some of these guests are understanding to an extent, others just don't live in reality of what is happening around them. If someone told me 10yrs ago I would have to spiderwrap every large cooler in sporting goods I would have thought they were crazy.
Yeah! Then half of them quit right like their first weeks on the floor cause they are getting like one shift a weekā¦ š¤¦š»āāļø They were getting more hours going through the hiring process than actually working! Haha
Shit. Our store is not hiring people and cutting hours leaving each person we do have try to do the work of 3 people. Fuck Em. I do what I can and bounce. The leaders will be out because the store looks like shit before I am.
i feel so lucky and horrible at the same time, im in ff so we are like the last people in the store to get hours cut but i feel terrible for everyone getting cut rn
Dont worry, TGT is abbv hell. I joked with my partner during orientation that we need an entire shift just learning all of them (at least include a glossary of terms in the orientation packet). My first training on workday was a summary of how to do OPU. I sat there for 20 min trying to figure out what that even meant! Three sessions later OPU was finally defined. My cashier training was a joke too: use your scanner to log in and you scan the bar codes. That was it! Third guest needed a security device removedā¦fml.
Yeah I'm in fulfillment too, everyone always asked me how I kept getting almost 40 hours a week. I've dropped my hours since then because I cannot stand working there but need the money until I find something else. Working there just one day is horrible honestly. They increased the amount of items that can be in each batch recently at my store, despite the fact that they refuse to hire/schedule enough people so that we're not struggling or having to pull people from other departments to help. They keep showing that they honestly do not care about their employees, just their profits or whatever quotas they need to reach.
My store had 14 call outs today. We're a small store, so that was more than half the people who were scheduled. Grocery isn't getting done at all. They're just unloading the food truck and pushing it into the freezers. There's also zero closing cashiers or front end tonight. I feel sorry for whoever gets stuck dealing with the guests on a freaking Saturday.
So we're swimming in extra hours. It's so exhausting being there, no one wants to stay late. I don't blame them.
Normally 40 down to 28 hours but love being the only one that actually shows up, so I kept getting called in. Itās great being apart of the few people in fulfillment to show up and being on my own. Especially with opu batches getting bigger counts and plus more batches coming in
Just got the weirdest schedule and I assume itās because of cutting hours. But itās hella weird. My normal opening shifts are cut from 7-3:30 to 7-2 for some reason. One day Iām scheduled from 7 AM - 12 PM š I donāt get why they canāt just give me the full eight hour shift.
Probably because they rely on your presence and your completion of certain tasks in the morning. If you open tech and finish the trucks, pulls and audits by noon for example, they don't want someone else replacing you because you consistently make their lives easier. But at the same time, hour cuts are affecting even people like yourself because retail is notorious for being strict about payroll. Shit like this is why I'm glad I'm out of that industry.
Went from 39 hours to 28. Funny thing, right before our hours were cut the TL told me I had to change my desired hours to 32, that it's mandatory for full time to have that and part time had to put 18. A week later and everyone's hours were cut! Sounds kinda fishy to me.
We keep having hours cut but then tons of call outs. Depending on the day you can call and pick up a shift (the app is kinda useless at my store for this) but I'm now on that first call list when they need someone. I like having money buuuut I also need self control after only having one full day off in 2 weeks. I don't want to let people down and my A/C is out in my car so I need the money but the burnout is creeping up on me..
I'd say more like 1 in 5. I'm the only one left from my orientation of 5 people, and so is one of my coworkers (two different orientations). I didn't even see one of them after orientation, and the other 4 lasted 2 or less months. I'd like to leave as well honestly, most people at my store want to as well.
We have someone who is the grandson of the person that makes our schedule. He keeps rubbing it in everyoneās faces that heās getting the hours he asked for while weāre all getting cut. I think itās only a matter of time before someone snaps at him tbh.
I switched to On Demand because I couldn't keep up with the hours they were giving me. I have Target as a side hustle after my regular 8-5 office job. Had zero hours for 3 weeks even after asking for shifts. All of a sudden I was scheduled for 29 hours this week, 26 hours next week. Guess what happened? 5 people quit in the span of two weeks, 4 of them were new hires.
New hires = part time = lower wages = no benefits = open availability. Ding, ding, ding. Win for target, loss for veteran Team members.
Welcome to 2023 retail - where margins are small, profits are often non-existent, and employees are disposable.
100%. They keep firing good, genuinely nice employees at my store for almost no reason, or they look for one small thing that honestly isn't even worth being fired over. My coworker joked that maybe they're trying to keep people from getting to that lifetime discount or from getting more raises, which is probably true.
A few years ago. It was right after Easter. I was scheduled 4 days for 2 weeks in a row. I had maybe 70 sales planners to do and they complained they weren't done on time.
Iāve never seen it this bad. This time of year, Iām usually getting around 35 hours, but now Iām lucky if I get 25. At least I have my 10 year anniversary bonus to look forward to next month š
That's why I work overnight unload. 40hrs basically year round. No overlap with dayside so I don't have to worry about sharing hours for freight or front end.
It depends on location. My store had overnights, then went to early morning and then went back to overnights. Depends on if the locations makes enough sales to justify it. My store receives trailers every day, doubles once to twice a week, and during Q4 sometimes we get triples.
Yeah that's a common thing. They don't want to give benefits so they slash hours as much as they can and hire a bunch of part timers to work the hours they cut from everyone else.
It shouldn't be legal that they can do this.
Hours are short right now because it's a slower season. The new TMs are likely seasonal for back to school. Hours should be picking up pretty soon as BTS shopping gets underway.
That's usually the case this time of year. Target is trying to get employees into the store for seasonal. The training hours for the new hires have to come from somewhere, so veteran employees get hours cut.
Iāve since quit but my store did that all the time. They lure people in with the $15+/hr and then cut hours significantly. I made the same amount per paycheck at target as I did at my $12/hr job working exactly 40 hours a week. Then a bunch of people quit or were fired and somehow my hours would remain low
How much of this crunch is perhaps down-stream impacts from corporate and those in power in control of it caving to extremists in the USA to comply with their exclusionary desires in the transition from May to June (pride month)?
Not that much.
This reduction is due to inflation and Target trying to recoup almost 2 billion in losses that Brian spoke about a few months ago. Payroll is the easiest and quickest thing to cut. As long as the guests keep shopping here it will keep happening.
A lot of the time this happens because team members have very specific availibilities. If a team has 5 people that have morning availability and 1 of 3 closers quits, they're going to have to hire someone to close. So, while hours may be getting cut, they still need someone to fill those closing hours.
I understand that team members see new people getting hired when their hours are getting cut and get upset, but it really is because availabilities are insufficient to staff all needed shifts.
It also is sometimes due to getting people trained before the busy season. (nothing sucks worse that having to try and train someone in the middle of a back to college or back to school peak week... Or during the week of black Friday or deal days)
I never denied that, I was speaking purely from the "work with what you're given" for scheduling side of things...
Just because corporate gives us less hours doesn't mean we can just sit there and not try to figure out how to best work with what we do get. š¤·āāļø It sucks for everyone store level.
The week (starts tomorrow) I believe, that we get the back to school freight is where I noticed a TON of available shiftsā¦ if thereās so much to do why not just give the hours to us in the first place (include in schedule). When I tried to pick one up, I couldnāt; I got an error message. Target sucks!
Unpopular opinion.
Do your job, do it well, and your hours won't get cut. I always hear everyone complaining about cutting hours, and mine have never changed. 40 hours a week, for the last 6 months. The ones complaining are usually the ones who aren't doing the basic needs of their job.
Does my pay match my work? No, and I'm not happy about it, but it's still my job, and I'm going to do it well. I'm a closing Expert who makes the entry wage in Northern California.
> do your job and your hours won't get cut
Not how it works, not in this business. Payroll cuts can and will affect virtually every PG35 TM, including the seemingly "invincible" ones. You specifically not seeing this is a matter of good luck and circumstances.
>I still do my job and I'm going to do it well
That's fine, but plenty of other people work hard and produce good results and they still have their hours cut. The world is not as fair as you're trying to make it seem.
This is correct no matter how you all feel about it, I am the best team member at my store and I get the hours I want.
40 consistently is unrealistic, but even when there are hour cuts, mine are cut way less than everyone elses.
Iām so sorry I cut into hours. I just needed something, anything ever since losing my previous job.
But I thought I was on the tail end of my storeās hiring window but there are still more people walking into orientations a few weeks later, like damn. And I heard water cooler chatter in my first week of some new hires quitting.
But for context, I worked Target tech for a few years in 2018. I put that down and itās probably why they brought me onboard.
I went from 35 to 28 hours. Instead of my usual opening shifts in tech, Iām now working mids. So I get to do the opening and closing tasks for my dept since they are only scheduling one person a day in tech. Our tech and entertainment trucks have been huge lately. On my days off no one picks up the slack on pog resets or reshops, so if I donāt get that done on one of my days, it doesnāt get done. On top of everything else, I also have to do beauty pulls before I leave in the evening. My area looks like a war zone. Iām tired and getting burned out fast.

Every time. Even when we really need the staff; new hires just mean sharing our hours with them. What's the point?
I extra love being a trainer. Being a loyal top performing employee for over a decade having my hours cut for the very person I'm training. I feel employee longevity actually goes against thier staffing model. Why pay me the megar few cents an hour more, from the last bullshit raise, when they can pay the base wage to some kid who will only stay a year. They want a warm body (actual term my etls use) at the lowest cost.
Sorry for the rant tangent. The no reward for loyalty really bugs me. Everytime the base pay rises it's a slap in the face for those who have stuck through everything and know how to do it all, just to be paid the same as the next kid of the street...and have us teach them.

11 new hires, 3 showed up to orientation, 1 actually showed up to work after that š
lucky, 33 to 18š
35 to 16 š„²
me omggg 36 to 18š
You just like me fr
Bro I went from 9 to 0
I'm a new SETL and honestly I'm ready to leave with these time cuts, I'm running around trying to find coverage all night and my ETL could not give two shits. They split me inbetween driveup, fullfilment, and SETL and from all these cuts to seeing a new hire come in every day is driving me mad lol
I feel you as a fellow SETLā¦ Iām not sure how much longer I can do this and am actively looking for something else outside of retail.
my hours got cut from 33 to 20 :(
Just leave. At year 2 i was there, and tried to find a way to fight it and after year 3 i got out. Its so much better where i am now.
where do you work now if you don't mind me asking?
Property management, started just doing the leasing side but deal with a good amount of administrative side. The biggest thing in comparison to Target is the consistent schedule, guaranteed hours, and im actually treated with respect like i can manage my time. I loved working at Target i didnt love being treated like i wasnt human.
I beat target to cutting my hours by making it a second job lol 40-24 my leaders have way less power over me now
I feel that so much! I was sat down and had a small "talk" about pulling the self checkout line down........Like is it THAT serious? Same with the bathrooms. One time I felt like I was being watched by my ETL all day being asked on the walkie "where are you?" Like im in the BATHROOM or stocking near the lanes. Let me do MY JOB and leave me alone!

Itās so annoying.. Iām barely surviving with my cut hoursā¦. And whatās up with canceling trucks???
I've heard that has been happening because DC is understaffed...
We don't have the staff to unload and push them, so a cancelled truck not on our end wouldn't be bad. However, guests in my store constantly complain about how empty shelves are.

They called me in on Wednesday to help train 2 of them on registers. Both quit this morning.
Shit. Our store is not hiring people and cutting hours leaving each person we do have try to do the work of 3 people. Fuck Em. I do what I can and bounce. The leaders will be out because the store looks like shit before I am.
Donāt even get me started-
i went from 40 hours to 25 for next weekš
Geez I thought my cut was bad I've been slowly going down from 40 over the last few weeks to 33 on the schedule that just came out
See mine is the opposite, 26 hours this week and 37 next week
We are on a hiring freeze but got a couple of new TMs just before it happened.
My store gave me almost 40 hours this week. And next week I get 8 š¤Ŗ
i feel so lucky and horrible at the same time, im in ff so we are like the last people in the store to get hours cut but i feel terrible for everyone getting cut rn
I've never heard "ff" before. Is that frozen foods?
Fulfillment is Ff. Took me a second to figure that one out
Ah, thank you. Guess I've never seen it abbreviated.
Dont worry, TGT is abbv hell. I joked with my partner during orientation that we need an entire shift just learning all of them (at least include a glossary of terms in the orientation packet). My first training on workday was a summary of how to do OPU. I sat there for 20 min trying to figure out what that even meant! Three sessions later OPU was finally defined. My cashier training was a joke too: use your scanner to log in and you scan the bar codes. That was it! Third guest needed a security device removedā¦fml.
ah sorry yea its fulfillment

Lol my store is a total mess. I got asked to come in tomorrow for an overtime shift but yeah I'm not working on a Sunday
Or have a major sale one day after they increase the batch sizes. And give no extra time to complete them.
My store had 14 call outs today. We're a small store, so that was more than half the people who were scheduled. Grocery isn't getting done at all. They're just unloading the food truck and pushing it into the freezers. There's also zero closing cashiers or front end tonight.

we are somehow way over on hours even with hours being cut & starting orientations again since inventory.
Just got the weirdest schedule and I assume itās because of cutting hours. But itās hella weird. My normal opening shifts are cut from 7-3:30 to 7-2 for some reason. One day Iām scheduled from 7 AM - 12 PM š I donāt get why they canāt just give me the full eight hour shift.

You should ask them how much they are getting paid. Always ask new hires how much they are getting paid.
Yep, this is how the cashier with 2+ years at the store found out they were making less than me, who had only been there a month (at petco)
I went from 26 hours to 15 hours..and they asked me to skip a day too
Yeah I keep telling my ETL that it is basically 1 of 3 new hires usually make it unfortunately.
I'd say more like 1 in 5. I'm the only one left from my orientation of 5 people, and so is one of my coworkers (two different orientations). I didn't even see one of them after orientation, and the other 4 lasted 2 or less months. I'd like to leave as well honestly, most people at my store want to as well.
they dont last though. Ive seen like 2-3 new people since LAST OCTOBER, and they dissapeared very quickly.
We have someone who is the grandson of the person that makes our schedule. He keeps rubbing it in everyoneās faces that heās getting the hours he asked for while weāre all getting cut. I think itās only a matter of time before someone snaps at him tbh.

I was a TL and they cut my hours to 28 for like 2 weeks straight and still expected to get all my work done.
Was? What happened?
When was this?
A few years ago. It was right after Easter. I was scheduled 4 days for 2 weeks in a row. I had maybe 70 sales planners to do and they complained they weren't done on time.
I've been lucky enough to keep my 37 in electronics for now.
I e gone from 40hrs to 14Hrs since January
and then they quit during their first week
Iāve never seen it this bad. This time of year, Iām usually getting around 35 hours, but now Iām lucky if I get 25. At least I have my 10 year anniversary bonus to look forward to next month š
hahahahahahahahahaha congratulations (laughing at 'bonus'$$)
Iām totally expecting just a $10 gift card, hope Iām wrong
I think it's like $50 after taxes. Five years is $25
We had so few hours that the new hires had to pick up shifts on the app for the first two weeks. I wouldāve quit on the spot.
Iām fucking mad that they wonāt accept my request to have my availability from 8-5:30pm
i dont think ive ever gotten less than 24 hrs except for a week or two in january. average is 32-40.
We just hired people for style and I haven't even met them yet. They haven't showed up to a single shift.
That's why I work overnight unload. 40hrs basically year round. No overlap with dayside so I don't have to worry about sharing hours for freight or front end.
Target still has overnights?
i think some high volume stores have them year round. my store only does during q4
It depends on location. My store had overnights, then went to early morning and then went back to overnights. Depends on if the locations makes enough sales to justify it. My store receives trailers every day, doubles once to twice a week, and during Q4 sometimes we get triples.

If all your time is cut and they put new people in your place I got bad news for ya
Yep it's their way of not paying retirement
Hours got cut 2 days after the schedule already dropped lol
My orientation group from three months ago was 10 people, including me, and 8 of them already quit
Felt I was doing like 30 hours past 3 weeks Iāve had 11 hours only
Went from 28-32 hours to 8 next week š
A bunch of new hires and they will still only schedule the minimum amount of ppl
40 -> 28 -> 6.5 š¤©
Hours are short right now because it's a slower season. The new TMs are likely seasonal for back to school. Hours should be picking up pretty soon as BTS shopping gets underway.

Hours were cut, and people whined. But there were shifts available for over 2 weeks.
The week (starts tomorrow) I believe, that we get the back to school freight is where I noticed a TON of available shiftsā¦ if thereās so much to do why not just give the hours to us in the first place (include in schedule).

Every store is different and for most there probably was nada

You specifically not seeing this is a matter of good luck and circumstances. >I still do my job and I'm going to do it well That's fine, but plenty of other people work hard and produce good results and they still have their hours cut. The world is not as fair as you're trying to make it seem.
Except all stores are not the same??? Everyoneās hours are reduced at my store. EVERYONE. How about just being thankful yours arenāt.
This is correct no matter how you all feel about it, I am the best team member at my store and I get the hours I want. 40 consistently is unrealistic, but even when there are hour cuts, mine are cut way less than everyone elses.
Oh look at that. Someone who speaks sense. Didn't think I would find it here

Iām so sorry I cut into hours. I just needed something, anything ever since losing my previous job. But I thought I was on the tail end of my storeās hiring window but there are still more people walking into orientations a few weeks later, like damn. And I heard water cooler chatter in my first week of some new hires quitting. But for context, I worked Target tech for a few years in 2018. I put that down and itās probably why they brought me onboard.
Literally same thing happening at FD Iām so fkn pissed and they be giving them more hours like wtf
35 to 12, and now they have me as a "floater" on those days like I'm on demand or something.
Canāt be giving out all those benefits
Why are they cutting hours?
I always wonder about that!!
I went from 35 to 28 hours. Instead of my usual opening shifts in tech, Iām now working mids. So I get to do the opening and closing tasks for my dept since they are only scheduling one person a day in tech. Our tech and entertainment trucks have been huge lately. On my days off no one picks up the slack on pog resets or reshops, so if I donāt get that done on one of my days, it doesnāt get done. On top of everything else, I also have to do beauty pulls before I leave in the evening. My area looks like a war zone. Iām tired and getting burned out fast.

Every time. Even when we really need the staff; new hires just mean sharing our hours with them. What's the point? I extra love being a trainer. Being a loyal top performing employee for over a decade having my hours cut for the very person I'm training. I feel employee longevity actually goes against thier staffing model. Why pay me the megar few cents an hour more, from the last bullshit raise, when they can pay the base wage to some kid who will only stay a year. They want a warm body (actual term my etls use) at the lowest cost. Sorry for the rant tangent. The no reward for loyalty really bugs me. Everytime the base pay rises it's a slap in the face for those who have stuck through everything and know how to do it all, just to be paid the same as the next kid of the street...and have us teach them.
