Target raised wages. Then it cut workers' hours and doubled their workload

Workers say Target is making drastic cuts to their schedules and doubling their workload as it increases minimum wage under its ‘modernization plan’ to increase efficiency

Adam Ryan, 31, has worked at Target in Christiansburg, Virginia, for three years. He works additional jobs whenever he’s able to, but is regularly scheduled only 20 hours per week at Target, despite having open availability.

“The last time they raised it, they cut our hours, so I’m basically making less than I was before they raised it to $13 an hour,” said Furlong. Her hours were reduced from 32 to 38 hours per week to around 20 hours per week. “If I wasn’t getting social security, which isn’t very much either, I wouldn’t be able to work there because I couldn’t afford it.”

Matt Funnell, a Target employee in Massachusetts since August 2018, saw his weekly schedule change from full-time, over 30 hours a week, to less than 10 hours in January 2020.

Target, Walmart, Amazon. A good many “associates” at Lowes, Home Depot, etc. are just the same. Fuck the employee for the bottom line. Don’t like it? There’s another high school dropout waiting for that dead end job. There’s Trump’s wonderful employment rate.

Investors at those places aren't investing because they're concerned about your social justice warrior mentality. They're doing it to make money.

Don't like it, improve your skills so you're not one of those subject to such things.

Get a fucking education.

The problem is those wanting a higher education demand someone else fund it.
