- Target quietly cut overnight and backroom shifts in stores across the US in an effort to increase the availability of workers to help guests on the floor.
- The result, in many cases, has been extra work for daytime team members as well as overcrowded and messy stores.
- Business
Insider spoke with 28 current and former Target employees who have
observed or experienced the effects of shift changes on their stores.
Many of them said their backrooms had become messier since the changes
were implemented, and 13 said they felt their stores` backroom had
become unsafe.
- A former employee in a Wisconsin Target store
told Business Insider that she hurt herself in the backroom multiple
times before quitting in October 2018. Her location was a pilot store
for changes to Target`s shifts and backroom jobs.
- "At Target, the safety of our guests, team members and community is always our top priority," a Target spokesman said in a statement. "Our store leaders and team members undergo mandatory safety training every year and we invest in the technology, tools and processes that keep our stores safe and ensure we comply with all federal safety guidelines. We work quickly to investigate and remedy issues anytime we receive safety-related concerns from our team members."
