(prepare your selves for a wall o text)
I am on the quest to find a new job! I love my current co-workers but I hate the clique/popularity contest that is our management system at Target.
As well I am so tired of feeling demeaned/unappreciated by my direct managers and given a floaty schedule that mostly makes me work the middle of the day when I have asked specifically for morning shifts.
They or one manager in particular continues to demean and attack me on a constant basis. She has attacked me relentlessly about me calling out sick, even though it was legitimate and proven by a doctor notes. (I didn't know employers want their employees to come in when they are ill.) and have made me feel like a rather shitty employee when I don't push their credit cards successfully by saying I don't make the customer experience more personal. (even though I ask every one if they want a target red card and have a 'personalized' conversation with them based on what is deemed socially appropriate for a stranger to talk about with a customer.) And after every one of these 'warnings' or attacks made by this particular manager, there has always been the hint that if I didn't hypothetically step up my swagger, I'd be fired based on illegitimate reasons. Such as not garnering enough red cards or being ill.
Honestly I thought my job was to provide a quick and friendly check out service, not to shove credit cards down people's gullets and make them feel uncomfortable with me.
I have talked to human resources about this issue I have been having with this particular manager and about my back being crunched by repetitive movements or just stating still in one spot. And how it would be better if I was reassigned to a different department, where this manager was not my manager and I could have more movement. Since the sales floor managers seemed to have wanted me working for them because I did my job thoroughly and fast. However HR thought it would be better if I stayed up in the front with these managers, but cross trained in other departments like guest service and/or starbucks. And only backed up as a cashier.
Nope, they forgot about my back problem and my issue with a particular manager as fast as lickity split. And I feel awfully particular about reminding people on how to do their job and reminding them about their cashier's nuances such as a hurt back. And if I reminded them, they probably would forget time and time again until I either gave up and/or quit. Quintessentially a never ending battle that is exhausting and rather trival.
there probably other issues I have with them as an employer and how eerily similar they are becoming with wally werld. (walmart)
So I have decided, instead of continuing to fight a loosing battle with this place, it is time for a new job. So when I start actually looking for a new job most places around me are not even hiring, and if they are they are either 15 to 20 miles away and/or I have to fill out the 100 most redundant questions about my work ethic. I have been employed by one business for more than a year, I am pretty sure that is proof of my working ethic. Despite what my current employers may say about me.
But it is so discouraging to look for a new job when no one is actively hiring, they are only looking for seasonal or when their application process is long
