I was in DTO until we got the boot last year. I have a better job now, but will never shop at this place again. Let me tell you what they did to us. They take us in 2011, and change us back to hourly. Karl Riebs at HQ claims it is because of some lawsuit in CA. We kept our time in Clarity from 2007 to 2011. We was always encouraged during this time not to put more the 40 hours in Clarity. So I didn't put much over that. My mistake, they paid everyone for any hours over that during that time frame, if you signed the legal document. Well under pressure, being I still wanted my job in good standing, I signed the legal document. I went from an EX11 to a NE10. EX11 topped out at nearly 90K and NE10 topped out at around 52K. I was told I was now over the pay scale and would get lump sum payments for an annual increase. 2.5% if I reinvented the wheel and got an O. We all know how hard it is to get that. Then we was the only people at the DC that was hourly that had to clock out for lunch. Every other hourly employee didn't have to clock out to take their lunch. We had to because other states had to do it. They made us tote the phone and rotate the oncall and basically told us no drinking and be within 30 minutes within the DC during that week. Didn't get a dime for that unless you got called. I found that these phones wouldn't ring if wrapped in tin foil. I never was written up during my time with Target, and this was 10 + years of service. They didn't even offer us a job loading trucks that day. I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN TARGET AGAIN.

Per our severance, they can come after us if we talk negative about the company in any way. The tin foil would just keep the phone from ringing, did that to get my life back. Else wise they owned me those weeks, and I couldn't even have a glass of wine with dinner.
If you get a moment, would you please elaborate on " I found that these phones wouldn't ring if wrapped in tin foil" - I am curious about why this was needed and how it works. Thank you in advance.
