Thread regarding Target Corp. layoffs

I saw a post talking about salary employees like we're not affected in this cut, Target is looking to cut cost by eliminating long tenured employees, whether you're salaried or hourly, both are affected. I'm a salary employee, I also tried to stay on when the CA started on me, then I realized that almost all the people that either was there or started at the same time as I have either quit, fired, or working part time, at which point I decided my time was up and found another job. I worked hard for this company, 45-50 hrs a week not including the works I brought home with me, as a salary employees we don't get overtime pay. When they set out to cut cost and direct stores to do so, it's then all about who's the manager's favorites are, if you're not on that list then chances you're out...sorry he has to meet the number. Bad leadership is why the company is where it's at.

Don't quit before you find another job. If the layoff is truly unjustified you can fight it in court for your unemployment. But you need to keep your positive reviews and document those discussions with Hr and your boss in email and print them out and keep them at home. You need to show in good faith you are either addressing concerns or disagree with the corrective action. No company should misuse corrective action to try and get out of unemployment.

I can see why you think a union would be good.But what about them people that come to put in thier time,and not work ? We all know some, thgoint to beable to hid behind the union to keep thier job? Don't sound fair to me, I have had my ca's I have lived threw them. Anyone that knows me and has worked with knows that I'am always walking the the of getting a ca. Also anyone that has worked with me knows that I will throw boxes if equp. needs to be worked. Union comes in and no more of that won't my UNION job to help the people on the floor. Going to make some people like they are better then to throw boxes, I have never though of any of my fellow team mates any different then mayself.If a Union does come in I still will feel the same as I do not,but won't beable to help you out. So think hard before you vote union in,get all the facts. I posted that Target would close the doors,and got a reponse that they wouldn't cause of the cost,that person is right,but don't you think that they will start looking for someplace else ,a few years down the road? And where else can we find jobs that pay as good as the ones we have now. Ok some of you guys are saying what the hell do I care,I 'am one of them Green guys that make the big bucks,has anyone tried to find a higher paying job in this area. If you have your lucky,I have run my mouth enough so just think on it hard before you go union.
