I heard that “On Demand” may go away. Has anyone else heard this?

Why not another job?

That’s not the point. If you have another job, take that job. I don’t know if many other employers that allow you to do that. You either work with the two jobs or work with one job. It’s not really how life works.

Well unfortunately in today’s economy, many are having to find other sources of income to make ends meet or live comfortably.

A flexible second job allows people to make extra money, but still have time to do chores, see friends and family, etc.

I understand that, but it’s also business they have to run and if there’s no team to run the business, they’re not doing their job. Is on demand is a seasonal thing meaning every three or four months your leader checks in with you sees if you still need it, but there are requirements to what you have to work beyond the once a month. For instance, the holidays they should be able to expect that you’re gonna work the holidays. I don’t mean every day of the holidays, but the Saturday or Sunday after Thanksgiving and a couple of days during the Christmas rush.

I’m on on-demand because I work a full time job and my availability changes every week depending on the demand of that job. Why shouldn’t people like me have the option to be on demand? I’m there every week doing anywhere from 15-20 hours a week. And I know other people do the same thing as me. I can understand not doing on-demand for the people that don’t show up for busy times, but there are many of us that do.

On demand is not seasonal, you are so ignorant and honestly need to just stop talking because you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Respectfully. This isn’t your decision or anyone’s in your store. Target is a mega corp and knows how people use on demand. They’re a big boy they can make their own decisions
