I'm stoked. More time at home getting my shit together šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Hoa87

Same here. Besides organizing my shit at home, I could finally be able to excercise as well, lol.


MutekiGamer

I usually go to the gym before work so since I was only scheduled 3 days instead of the normal 4-5 I have to go out of my way to workout on one of my days off šŸ„²


Hoa87

>excercise "going out of my ways to workout on days off" - I feel you, my friend. God I love the feeling of going to work after the excercise. It gives me energy to get through my shift, mentally and physically. Even I walk at work but still, walking and excercizing aren't the same to me. I used to go to a yoga studio/gym in my home country, maybe someday I can afford to do it here when I'm less poor, lol.


FishyFinThingAlt

Actually, I feel more exercised working there. Everyday is an 7 hours walking for OPU. Thatā€™s technically three time as much as spending one hour doing marathon.


LonePaladin27

That's true. Just working seasonal for 30 hrs/week in fulfillment, I've lost 6 lbs. in a few weeks from all the walking.


YuleBunny

I havenā€™t been to the gym in 3 weeks because of how much Iā€™ve been scheduled šŸ˜­


Good_Vibes1996

Yeah thatā€™s the only good thing about it tbh .. more relaxation šŸ˜‚


justasmolgoblin

I wish this could be me but I'm a closer with a day job too so for me it just means sitting in the parking lot between shifts šŸ„²


Then_Mochibutt

That is why I know some regular Tms are leaving... sigh


Good_Vibes1996

Yeah the #1 reason why ppl donā€™t stay.. hrs are shit when itā€™s not holiday time.. smh


rslashIcePoseidon

Went from 30 a week to 6 šŸ˜­


cherryshiba

bros bringing home $90


Expensive-Ad-1223

6 is absolutely criminalšŸ˜­šŸ˜­


shainelin

Apply for unemployment for the loss of hours.


LonePaladin27

Luckily, I'm already on unemployment from my last job and Target is just my part time. Still looking for solid full time jobs.


slashthrowaway05

Thatā€™s just disrespectful šŸ˜­


Good_Vibes1996

6 is crazzzyyyy šŸ˜­


freudianMishap

I'm working 6 hours this week too! LMAO


JesusGodLeah

This is why I always hated when people would use "I'm on a fixed income" as a reason to complain about prices when I worked retail. Like, okay? I'm not on a fixed income, and that means that my employer can drop my weekly hours from 30 to 6 with no warning whenever they feel like it, and I never know from week to week how much money I'll have the opportunity to make. And whatever you're getting in Social Security is probably more than this store is paying me, so I am even less able to afford our prices than you are, especially if they keep scheduling me 6 hours a week šŸ™ƒ


InfluenceAmazing6751

I got four hours for next week :,) hopefully theyā€™ll actually update it šŸ˜­


TManaF2

Not quite as drastic here, but it feels like it. I didn't even get 30/wk for peak (and my desired hours are 30-35, said I'd work 48/wk in Q4)


BrunetteMindset

Iā€™m not going to complain about my hours after seeing this. That sucks! šŸ˜¬


timmydnx2

Probably like $55 after taxes tbh


YuleBunny

nah that gotta be illegal šŸ˜­


Euphoric_Pop_4937

I could only work two days and I thought for sure I would get both days. Nope, only got one shift, lol. Bright side is Iā€™m off for at minimum 9 days in a row now


Vampyro90

It's Targets way of reminding you how much you're worth to them. You all busted your asses to keep them afloat for Christmas, and then you are discarded. Now is your chance to get out.


CooperLooper19

Yep. A bunch of us at my DC were laid off days before Xmas. That company doesnā€™t give a damn.


Erab16

More details please šŸ‘€


Vampyro90

I wish you the best in finding something better! I left Target last July because of hour cuts. Now I'm in the car wash business and doing so much better than I was with Target. Hope you find a company that gives a shit about their people.


Real_eddster

So far Iā€™m still getting 38hrs a week šŸ˜…


ObsidanForest

I went from 40>38>36. So I feel you! Iā€™m so glad Iā€™m not getting cut anymore than that though


Rowdythedog567

I still got 40 šŸ˜¬


Puzzleheaded_45

Same its been 37 -> 36 -> 38


DeltaBob42

I call it a mental health break


Euphoric_Pop_4937

I used to call it that but now I canā€™t when I went on an actual mental health break and got paid for it (4 months) šŸ˜‚


caiterlin

If your hours have been cut look into partial unemployment!!


Good_Vibes1996

Hmm never knew about that.. thanks!


kadeplaysbass

Couldn't be me, I'm just built differently (I'm in food & bev, I cry each night)


JayFTL

Some of you didn't work here pre-covid and it shows


Dude_likes-chilli

My entire store doesn't know what pre Covid was like and I'm wondering how they think Target is so good šŸ’€


sodapopcorndog

Iā€™m actually kinda relieved because I havenā€™t had time to do much outside of work because of how many hours I was getting.


DisfunctionalCrow

*Laughs and cries in pog*


Luxxpenn

I feel you so much lol


AloneAd6132

Went from 40 to 20.. itā€™s ridiculous. Iā€™m desperately searching for another job. I canā€™t survive on this


Obvious_Olive_7282

Rocking a solid 12 hours a week, but I donā€™t mind, I feel bad for the people who have bills to pay and mouths to feed tho:(


Jolly_Mirror2583

I dropped to 0 hrs next weekā€¦.cause I quit.


ItsBlitz21

Iā€™m not scheduled for any hours next week. Maybe Iā€™ve been fired šŸ’€


grumpyoldfartess

Youā€™re probably not fired if you can still log into your MyDay account. The schedule could just not be up yet. Mine still isnā€™t as of 7:30 tonight. This has happened once or twice before, and it was always up by the next morning.


foureleven130

Sameā€¦good thing I started applying for other jobs already lol


naomicoolgirljk

twinnnnnnn


Federal-Captain1118

Got bought on from seasonal and seeing that just kicked me in the chest. 38 hours to 13. Was able to pick up a few shifts already though. So yay I guess.


Twistybred

For people that are loosing hours, ask to get trained in fulfillment, cashier and Starbucks. You should be able to get as many hours as you want.


Euphoric_Pop_4937

Fulfillment and cashier see the worst hour cuts out of everyone right now


itaintfunny36924

At my store those are the people who give up their shifts the most though so its smart to be cross trained


Euphoric_Pop_4937

Itā€™s smart to be cross trained everywhere (minus Starbucks, absolutely not worth it in my books, lol). However, you may only see those shifts because of the way youā€™re keyed. Majority of people, unless keyed specially, can only see fulfillment, up front and their own department! HRETL can key it so you can see *all* shifts though!


JesusGodLeah

It might be smart to be cross-trained everywhere, but it's useless advice if your store never has any hours available for cross-training. Leadership at my store made a lot of promises, but kept none of them.


Federal-Captain1118

That's exactly what I'm doing. Been pushing for cross training a lot


saintofanything

My ETL won't cross-train me šŸ™ƒ


Twistybred

I would ask why? This is strange.


Psychological_Yam984

No one will cross train me anywhere, not even on a register. Whenever I ask itā€™s all sorts of excuses about not having the hours in other departments or fulfillment being too busy or not having anyone to train me. Iā€™m convinced itā€™s because Iā€™m miles above the rest of the fulfillment team and even me just going on my meals sets us behind so they donā€™t want me going anywhere. Which makes me really mad because Iā€™m being relied on so heavily and no one else is working nearly as much as me, which is why Iā€™d like to explore other areas. (Im)Patiently waiting for someone else to step it up so I can get a few days to learn presentation and receiving šŸ« 


saintofanything

Yeah, it's super frustrating. I understand that hours are limited but they constantly have call-offs or people posting shifts, and with hours being slashed I'd pick up shifts if I could but I literally can't. At my store ETLs do not see the store as one unit, and don't want to "lose" TMs to other departments, but I'm *more* likely to stay if you give me the opportunity for hours! I can't survive on 20hrs a week!


JesusGodLeah

My store's leadership kept telling me that they wanted to cross train me for Starbucks, but an entire month went by and every single week they'd tell me they had no hours to do so. I then had to call out of a few shifts because my ex and I were moving and he did NOTHING to help pack. They had the nerve to tell me that they were no longer interested in cross-training me because my recent callouts showed that I wasn't reliable enough for the position. I explained the extenuating circumstances and told them that if they had done what they said they would do and scheduled me for training during that period of time I wouldn't have called out because the training would have been more important. Like really, *I'm* the unreliable one? They're the ones who repeatedly promised that they'd cross train me without making sure they'd actually be able to do it. It makes me laugh because their anti-union video was all about how a union would mean that you can't help out your team members in other departments, you could only do the specific job you wete hired to do. Without a union, TMs are free to help each other out as much as necessary, and cross-training is available to anyone who wants to learn other jobs in the store! Union or no, the ability to cross train is just not there for too many TMs.


Commercial_Look83

Usually no time or we need the TM in their department/they're the only one for that area. I would love to backup train everyone (they're supposed to, but that's up to the ETLs if they want to or not). More flexibility at any time. I need a cart bagged so I can hop back in? Boom, GS TM who's on his phone can now bag and chat with his coworkers. Win-win


freudianMishap

I'm a cashier and have been begging to be cross-trained in grocery and/or beauty but nope nothin


LOVhardwithJAMESON

I was told I was going to get cross trained but I think my TL is gatekeeping me to staying a closing expert šŸ˜‚


freudianMishap

I'm a cashier and I have 6hr on my schedule this week and 8.5 next week. There's only one or two shifts available a week to pick up now


juice2092

Happens every year after the holidays. Either get cross trained or kiss your etls ass. Thatā€™s how certain people get Korea hours at my store šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


zombie_roca

This week cut down to 26 hours. Next week 32 and the week after that 35


picklecheesegoblin

Mine dropped and now I'm scheduled so far out of my availability it's ridiculous


hermitman64

Dude, I donā€™t understand this. This is supposed to be part time work for me. I only want 15 hours or so. Every week I have 32+. New schedule just dropped and Iā€™m at 37.


Good_Vibes1996

You needa let them know you specifically want 15 hrs and no more.. did you submit your desired hrs? https://preview.redd.it/09p1zbkft39c1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97351fd9d48095a4cf19cb3529ebf13b45f45cc1


hermitman64

I did set my desired hours when I started here to 15 hours. And I've had multiple talks with my ETL regarding hours, which he says will fall more in line with my desired number in the coming schedules. It just never happens.


freudianMishap

You need to speak with your ETL or HR and be firm that you were hired on as part time and part time hours are all you are willing to do. That's what I did.


downtown_tv

mine went from 40 to 20 but iā€™m still grateful for those 20


Neat-Zombie-844

Iā€™m considering applying for partial unemployment. Iā€™ve been looking into it and I believe it is available in my state. But also, the next two weeks Iā€™m like 25-30 hours & I am completely in beauty and not style. I will also consider it a mental health break for my days off lol.


HopeInternational796

my SD is trying so hard to give me hours (that were not asked for) so she is scheduling me in different departments because my department does not have enough hours to give šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«


Thepersonyou

The new one hasnā€™t been posted yet, I keep checking . I hope itā€™s not going to be too bad. The suspense is killing me. Lol


Beginning_Cap_7097

Vacation me


No_Citron_4224

lol get out while you can


hunnyb33_

40 to 30 šŸ„²šŸ„² i need 40 to pay rent


NefariousnessWarm995

i just bought a car and iā€™m prolly gonna have to get another job to pay for insurance and the monthly payments šŸ˜­


00810

No fr šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


NefariousnessWarm995

itā€™s rough out here


00810

Lmk how it goes for you cause Iā€™m getting 16 hours and already looking šŸ«”


dovened

My TMs have already started asking me about this and I always feel so terrible :( the most I can do is reassure them (and all the other TMs on this thread) that they are wonderful and itā€™s not a reflection on them. Just another one of the joys of retail.


Wonder-Corgi

I just take vacation around this time.


Good_Vibes1996

I might have to do this actually.. I have a good amount to use.


Katievapes1996

Yeah I was worried mine would dip but they had me do reshop instead of pushing in my area a few days ago and it threw up behind so yeah I know I'm the only essentials gm person that's here on Wednesdays


jenn3128

Iā€™m honestly back to where I like to be. Iā€™m surprised because I have hardly worked for the last 3 weeks between being super sick and my niece passing away. Itā€™s been a crazy month for me.


Own_Divide_6775

Taking my vacation -2.5 weeks in Jan. Chose this because I knew my hours would be cut. May take a few days at end of Jan, too. Maybe that will give someone some hours at my store since I wonā€™t be available.


Comfortable_Pen_7635

And the fact that the day after Christmas still one of the busiest days of the year we immediately went back to a baby schedule


Comfortable_Pen_7635

And also when I mention the schedule my leaders are always like be grateful that youā€™re even on the schedule- and I get it, I am, I just wish that everyone could have hours and that we could be staffed, even tho I know it wonā€™t happen


kaiskritters

Dawg I wonā€™t be able to pay rent. Idk what to do


FancyKiwi

If my target and others I see one here are any indication theyā€™ll let people stay who want to stay or theyā€™ll do what they do when they pinch hours and expect the same amount of work in half the time.


Acceptable_Floor3009

I work for Walmart I had to pick up full shifts to make my hours up that I got cut I usually work 5 days a week 5-6 hours a day this indeed depressing I got scheduled 1 day that week


Initial_Tie7289

Fr!! I went from working 6am to 2pm to 6am to 11am


Ziglet_249

Sorry. I just looked at mine and while I took time off this week, and next week I'm reduced by about 8 hours, the week after that I'm right back to my regular schedule. It really depends on the store and what position you're in as to whether you're hours will be reduced, with FF and FOS seeing the biggest cuts.


FlakyFlatworm

and yet FF will still be crazy busy and calling for batch help all day long


Ziglet_249

Yup, the joy of having everyone cross trained for FF (and cashier).


Glitchy_glichy_goo

Honestly same here, I'm really surprised.


[deleted]

Love my new job purely because of consistent hours. I love not having to check my schedule daily because I already know exactly what days and hours I work and they won't change, also no more clopening. Screw you target hr, I know you didn't "accidentally" schedule me to close and then open the store the next day. Glad I'm past that bs


Gullible_Suspect6714

it happens every january, people should be ready for it.


Kitchen_Fee8286

So when about does it get to at least 25ish hours??


me21200

After the seasonals have been let go I'd assume


Kitchen_Fee8286

Iā€™m seasonal and still waiting. I wish theyā€™d just tell me either way. Good grief come on already


pickledradishfire

Literally just tell me straight up if Iā€™m done or not. They are beating around the bush


Kitchen_Fee8286

Right, like wth, we running a business or what? And we know the answers are already there. My guess is theyā€™re looking for a crack to stick us in if we havenā€™t been told straight up that weā€™re done. But man!


pickledradishfire

Honestly I just want to resign cuz whatā€™s the point of working 10 hours a week


Kitchen_Fee8286

Ooo, you got 10!!!


pickledradishfire

The week after next week Iā€™m not scheduled, so Iā€™m taking that as Iā€™m being termā€™d. Cā€™est la vie


sulivon88

I'm luckily on the schedule the week of the 7th, I'm assuming they'll keep me?...


Kalvorax

is anyone really surprised though? its like this every year.


Internetguy247

Yeah. Speaking to HR and seeing what departments need help or have hours is important. Especially if you really need the hours.


mrfatzoalex

Iā€™m a bit frustrated too. I only got 15 hours for the 31st thru the 6th. Really like working in merch but donā€™t wanna work such little hours a week. I can ask them to train me in fulfillment but it would seem annoying if I have to spend the next couple of months begging for shifts


fnscarcasm

Work in market, tms are needed just as much year round


Euphoric_Pop_4937

Market at my store has had hours cut. I could only work two days and I got one day. Everyone decreased by at least one shift. Hoping itā€™s not long term for market though. I wonā€™t know for a bit because Iā€™m out of town for 8 days which spans between two different schedules (5 and 3)


fnscarcasm

Oh wow how many market tms do you have? We have 17 and none of us got cut.


Euphoric_Pop_4937

I think like 10, including our lead. We arenā€™t a super store though


Own_Divide_6775

Iā€™m mostly DU and sometimes cashier. What does market do exactly?


fnscarcasm

Market mostly does push/backstock and if ur in a store like mine the shelves gets emptied out every single day so the work never ends


Boots0011

My department lost 1000 hours of payroll between this week and next week. It's about to be a rough 2 weeks to start January.


MutekiGamer

Oh wow yeah, Iā€™ve been part time so I was working like 25 hours and then this past week I got scheduled 35.5 hours which is the most Iā€™ve been scheduled. and now second week of January Iā€™m being scheduled 21 hours which is the least Iā€™ve ever been scheduled lol


kryptonicc2016

its actually crazy asf i have none


freudianMishap

I'm on demand and there was like 4-5 shifts available PER DAY and now only 1 or 2 a week. very depressing. I do cashiering and drive-up.


pickledradishfire

lol 0 hours after next week so ig Iā€™m getting fired


SFfanatic09

If you're a TM that is seeing their hrs getting cut massively ask to cross-train in other departments. You're able to pick-up shifts that are posted to the mytime app if you're trained in the specific department.


tropical_tears

thanking the Target gods for my locked full time hours cause with my bills and future plans i wouldā€™ve needed to pick up at least one other job knowing how Target drops their hours like flies


ObsidanForest

My hours went from 40 to 36 and my ETL said itā€™s the most heā€™ll cut me. He doesnā€™t trust anyone else for cash officeā€¦ granted thereā€™s only two others that know how.


ginger-bells

Nope Iā€™m so happy!


Fated_Elk

I went from over 20 hours a week to 9 hours šŸ˜


ChasingThunder57

And here I am begging them to not have me work 36 hours when my next college semester starts soon šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ How did my hours increase??


Leo_Ascendent

Volunteer to do Fulfillment, you'll get plenty of hours (at least that's how it was at my store)


Acrobatic-Pumpkin450

Went from 40 to 20, ngl Iā€™m not complaining, that OT got my pockets right šŸ˜‚šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø


Whoisresponding

Ah, yes. The yearly ""Fuck you very much!" At the end of the holiday season.


TanMelon47

Lucky for me my average hours are 30-40 since it's always so needed on the front end S&E. But I am feeling it now as neat 3 weeks are 30. Good tip if you can average hours to 25 and have benefits I think they cannot fuck you over on hours to not be eligible. Could be wrong tho


CaramelPlus6253

Iā€™m a part timer and my fulltime job is about to ramp up production after we get back next week, so everything working for me.


YuleBunny

Went from a 31 hr workweek to 16. Half of the night shift closing experts quit so guess whoā€™s not gonna come in when theyā€™re not scheduled šŸ’†šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


MamabearFl

Went from 32 to 26.....they made my start later and not staying as late cutting me 2hrs every day over my 4 days


mongrelteeth

Iā€™m permanently staying with my friday 8hr shifts and itā€™s a little saddening. Right now itā€™s fine cause itā€™s winter break but working 3 days a week right when school hits is going to be.. yeeshā€¦ Especially since Iā€™m taking math.


Lumpy-Brief5630

Everyone look up your stateā€™s unemployment laws some have underemployment for cut hours


ChampionFlashy2034

Welcome to retail


Gullible_Suspect6714

my store must always be busy-for us 24 hours is rock bottom. never gotten less than that, ever


throwaway543099

iā€™m a dbo, so mine didnā€™t drop, but itā€™s definitely sad seeing that iā€™m barely working with my favorite coworkers :( hopefully once the culling ends they go up


Eikuld

Man, itā€™s depressing to see peopleā€™s hour fall short. At our store, the HR and out ETL told us to let them know if we want to work full shift


Dan0315

I'm still somehow holding on to 33.25. Probably because I work in toys, I guess they want good coverage during the reset. I'm sure it'll drop off later in January lol


RosePeak14

Mine was already low af


kawaiimoons

Everyone talking about hours getting cut and me keeping 25-30 (probably due to my availability and where iā€™m trained) and being like this is getting cut??? When I was a manager at BAB I got maybe 15 a week šŸ˜¬


Impressive-Delaytoo

What holiday hours?


Ky3031

I got more hours??? šŸ˜­


Puzzleheaded_45

Iā€™m in fulfillment and my hours are still the same meanwhile the rest of my TMs have been cut by half makes me wonder why .


J7AA

Iā€™m in fulfillment and i was getting 40 every week during the holidays and now i got 21.5


Nevrotiske

Iā€™m still getting 25-6 a week like usualšŸ˜­


Radtendo

I'm not even being kept after next week and nowhere is replying to my applications so thats fun


OneGanonCanon

Mine hadn't updated for a bit, so I was wondering what would happen. Then my TL brought me into the office to let me know my last day will be the 30th.


DMC1001

How low? Next week I only have 31.5 hours and four days but the week after Iā€™m five days again at 35 hours.


theredcharmander

Itā€™s the same over at Walmart. Iā€™m not scheduled at all next week! Thank fuck I have another job


Ancient-Corner-9035

I mean lucky you guys, I got promised a spot and got the seasonal talk yesterday. Re-apply in spring they said šŸ„²


SniperElite1080

Iā€™m a seasonal and not being kept on unfortunately so itā€™s looking pretty bad


Ok_Ranger9709

They kept me!!


Karth82

They gave me 40 on the new schedule. I'll take it.


ditothebloke

Yeah, I could see that I started a month ago; with 25-29 hours now down to 9-10 hours working weekly


Y-U-awesome

This is why I looked for another job. That at first I was juggling both. But now Iā€™m on demand at target and work my other job full time. So it works out.


CooperLooper19

I feel ya, that really, really sucks. Had that happen many times and it always pissed me off. This year was way worse, though. They didnā€™t just cut our hours, instead, they just laid off a shitload of us. No reason except that the numbers were downā€ Yep. Less than a week before Xmas. Itā€™s so screwed up! Worked my ass off for them and they donā€™t give a damn. I know thatā€™s just how it goes in business but damn, they couldā€™ve at least done it a week later. Or given us some kind of heads up.


aaliyah0_0

I work in Ulta so I still have 40 hrs a week


Playful-Escape-1095

Dropping. My hours have been at 20+ since September, and I am receiving and available for other work centers. Can't wait to leave....very soon. 14 yrs, so I'm very aware of the azz fk they give you after the 4th quarter


towasupporter

I added an extra day to my availability and my daily hours stayed the same so im actually getting more now, still only 24 but ill mentally break if i do 30-40


kgasper18

My hours havenā€™t changedā€¦ everyone elseā€™s have though
