What a shitty, shitty thing to do. The person who even suggested this shit should be fired.
I'm willing to bet that Walmart begins paying it's employees in company scrip within a decade.
because technically, by american law, you aren't given a right to a day off. Most companies provide vacation, but you could work everyday.
Not planning on it but this entire forum could completely abstain and it wouldn't even dent Walmart's Black Friday profits.Dotn shop there thanksgiving day. Send a message.
Might as well said 'Fuck'em'"We simplified our paid time-off policies in 2016 to combine vacation, holiday, sick and personal time into one bucket. We did this to give our associates greater flexibility and more choice to use their time off when and how they want to. As part of this change, we no longer pay holiday pay. Associates can now cash out any unused PTO at the end of the year."
Target isn't open all night anymore. Most Thanksgiving shifts start between 4:45pm (just before open) and 7pm, and end no later than 1:30am, with Fulfillment teams coming in much earlier. Black Friday openers come in just before 7am.When I worked at Target on Black Friday in 2016, they scheduled a lot of us starting at 11 PM Thanksgiving. Most of us ended up working 11 PM Thanksgiving night to 10 AM or so Black Friday. Sure, we got time and a half for that single hour on Thanksgiving itself, but then every hour on Black Friday we just got an extra dollar per hour, so it was basically nothing extra. Definitely not enough to make up for the fact that our shifts on Wednesday and Saturday still started at their normal 5 AM too.
My point is that Walmart sucks but so does Target.
For real? Damn, I'm happy for everyone who works there that they changed thatTarget isn't open all night anymore.

They're all gonna be billionaires someday. Just gotta keep hustlingShould be criminal. This fucking country sometimes....
It blows me away that a good portion of Americans support this kind of system.
Ahh, makes sense. I was backroom so it's still fuck Target I guess lol
Actually being able to cash out unused PTO is a good thing, but not getting time and a half on holidays is shitty.
When I worked there years ago you just got this bonus as part of your holiday bonus, no working required.
Normal employee discount was 10% on non food items, this just gives you 10% on food too. Helps save a couple buck but that's it unless you are filling up a freezer full of meat or something.
