I would try and move on at this point because it seems like the ETLs at your old store don't know the rules. Try applying to another retail store nearby. Like other posters have mentioned, sometimes life isn't fair but it seems unlikely that your termination would be overturned.

Thanks, I didn't actually remember that was in the handbook. I only remembered the rule that the item had to be on the salesfloor for more than 15 minutes. I'm wondering what the team leaders were thinking when they gave approval to buy the cup or mug. They should know better than to give...

From what you've mentioned, I'm not sure why you were terminated. The Stanley cup/mug (don't know the official name) was on the salesfloor for more than 15 minutes and you mentioned that you received approval from several Team Leaders. Is there something that I'm missing? Can you elaborate on...

I wanted to bump this thread because this is something I've always been interested in. In the jobs that I applied to that didn't work out before I came back to Target, job experience/ability to perform the job was much more important than whether you had a degree or not. That's not to say that...

Sorry to bump an old thread but I wanted to add an ETL at my old store who really developed a mean attitude and was only nice to his favorites. I know that I should get over it but it still annoys me that he was so friendly to other leaders/favorites but had such an attitude with some team...

I'm just curious, I agree with you but have you ever been reprimanded by a leader for something like that where they tell you to give a guest an order even if they don't have a barcode or 4-digit code? It just seemed like something some "leaders" would do.

Did you forget that Target is an at-will employer? Team members are free to quit/leave whenever they want and Target is allowed to fire/terminate team members with certain restrictions. No one is obligated to tell you if they are looking for a new job or if they found one. That's not even...

Does this mean that you'll stop acting immaturely and put in your two weeks without any of the behaviors you listed in the OP like giving your SD the silent treatment or breaking the rules and bringing in food for the other team leads? Also, why did you even bother asking about this if you...

If you're thinking of acting in this manner, I wouldn't put in your two weeks. If you are unable to handle working out the two weeks in a mature way, just stop showing up. It really sounds like you're looking to cause more drama before you leave, which I'm sure you're store doesn't need.

Why would that matter at all unless their interactions are taking place while they are on the clock? If it's something in their private lives, even if it's breaking the rules, why should you be concerned about it if it isn't affecting their performance and they aren't making it obvious to...

I would suggest that you stop this nonsense of making noise on the walkie to irritate everybody else if you don't want to get fired before you find a new job. Like others have said, all jobs have frustrating issues and people to work with. You need to learn to be mature and not get frustrated...

I (and most front-end team members) were very frustrated by one GSTL/SETL who didn't do anything except ask guests for surveys. I really believe that she was one of the reasons that so many team members left my old store. She only seemed to back-up if an ETL asked her to and she usually hid in...

Quite frankly, if what you've mentioned in previous posts is true, you don't deserve to be promoted to a team lead position. If you really were promoted, you should be grateful to still have a job and you shouldn't complain about the SD taking away the perks/benefits that you've mentioned.

Well I have to ask, why would you want to stay at a store where ETLs are leaving/being forced to quit? There won't be any structure and cohesion and things will only get worse. You also mentioned in a previous thread that "we're all going to be fine" and that no one would find out about the...

Perhaps you've realized that being a TL isn't as glamorous as you thought it would be. If you're so unhappy and frustrated by what you've mentioned, why don't you consider finding another job and leaving Target? It seems like it isn't a good fit and you're complaining about losing the perks like...

Honestly, I find it hard to believe that you were actually promoted to team lead based on your previous posts. However, considering how badly you wanted to be promoted, I wouldn't complain and I would keep my head down and accept what the SD is telling you to do.

I'm going to guess it's corporate and management greed. These people are ruthless when it comes to spending as little as possible on payroll. Then management would turn around and beg team members to extend due to call-outs. It's ridiculous and absurd.

I totally agree with @Duval Dawg. I have no idea if my old store would fall under this and thus have increased the minimum wage, but it happened after I already left. At the same time, I have a feeling that they are going to cut hours even more in order to make up for this. It just seems like a...

I wish I had management like that at my old store. The SD was pretty understanding and easy to talk to but I really didn't trust or like my ETL-SE or ETL-HR. It seemed like my ETL-SE enjoyed going on power trips at the expense of team members.

Yes, but POS allowed me to return the video game even though what you mentioned is policy. I meant that I had a brain fart and forgot that opened video games are only supposed to be exchanged. Either way, I was mad at my ETL for the way he handled the situation and embarrassed me in front of...
