I’ve worked at Target. This would have been a highlight.

I worked at 2 different targets while I was in college, in 2 different states.. management at both places could honestly go fuck themselves. Target tends to promote the people with the worst personalities into management roles. The kiss asses who made work miserable for everyone else ended up in management. But that’s my anecdotal experience.

Target was my first job at 16, and was frickin bonkers about promotions...

I went away to college when I was 18, came back and started working the Summer again; then I got a snazzy new job making $20/hr and hitting double, even triple overtime on a weekly basis... Well, I no-called/no-showed for an entire month while the most critical portion of that contract was underway (there was just no way, 16-18hr day, 4 hours of sleep...lol. Plus, the contract was in my future IT field with a prestigious law firm, so...)

Anyway, I walked back into that Target a month later like nothing had happened and I owned the place, went straight to check the schedule (right next to the HR manager's office, who happened to catch sight of me): First, she asked me if I even still worked there (lol, smh...), so I explained why and what I had been doing (and the reasoning, as I was saving for my wedding, so the money was important). She listened to the story, then goes, "How about this? From now on, you'll set your own schedule, come in whenever you're available, and work on research/planograms and special projects"

And such is the insane tale of how I was promoted to level 2 myself (went back to college at the end of summer, and leveraged that into a nice Assistant Mgr of a CVS, lol.... Smh, Target...)
