    Worth trying to promote to ETL?

    I'm not trying to be too mean, but when I was an ETL-LOG and ETL-GM, I would have begged to be an ETL-HR or GE. Those are the two positions that actually got EASIER in modernization. Food and GM became more difficult versions of their previous iterations, and I'd argue Speciality Sales stayed...

    What is something you wish your ETL-HR knew / did?

    It depends on your building sometimes too. Our ETL-HR group in my building was always pretty good (until recently) when the direction to stay in your lane came down. Now they just stay in their offices and wonder why everyone else is stressed to shit. The best HR's had a pulse on their store...

    Incoming External ETL

    If you want to be successful at Target as an ETL, you have to shut off your brain and do what your bosses think are the solutions to the problems. If you have a problem you are tasked to address, the actual answer may be A and your boss or their boss will tell you B. Do B always, and if you...

    Outside Hire - ETL Interview

    Well, my long-term advice? If you are not already salaried in your current role as an ASM (HR) then go for this ETL-HR role since it is salaried. Pursue your PHR while at Target, and flip it into a normal HR role in a better environment. You will be able to find a normal M-F 40 hours HR job...

    Archived How to be a good ETL

    You can't make everything perfect all the time, focus on the most important things first that are vital to the store running, and work your way down. You can't lead a store from an office, and most of the team will get annoyed quick with your questions. If you need to ask on the walkie how the...

    Archived Salaried work

    Yes and they put out a yearly survey to all of us asking us what we spend our time on (management vs task), so that they can have proof that we are achieving the appropriate balance. We have to lie on the survey or face retaliation from our STL and DTL, with multiple status sessions and crap so...

    Archived Sr TL demote

    It will honestly depend on your HRBP approval for a demotion. If it were in response to a headcount change, it would get approved. If it's simply for personal reasons, then it will be a bit more difficult as it depends on how strict they are. If it is requested for education as an example, it...

    Archived Going from ETL to TL?

    Yeah most ETLs given the option would choose to keep their pay but do another position, but some of those old school HR's will take the option to convert to an HRTL if given the choice.

    Archived Going from ETL to TL?

    The only ETL demotions I have seen were either because of a specialty position being cut (ETL-HR to HRTL, ETL-AP to APTL, or back in the day when we had tons of ETL-Food positions such as meat, produce, deli, backery and the company turned them into TL positions, those ETLs were allowed to...

    Archived Strung along for TL position..?

    I am sure there are stores out there that do dangle the carrot on purpose, but... I can honestly say that I have never been in a store that did it in a manner that would be considered on purpose. Often times, we know that TL X is leaving or TL Y is struggling right now and we want to replace...

    Archived ETL-HR (Career Change)

    Most districts are over headcount when it comes to ETLs right now, and they are likely trying to figure out how to get last year's interns positions before bringing on anymore applicants. You can attempt to apply though and see how it goes. I would say if you want to get into HR specifically...

    Archived Team Lead Positions

    Hardlines/Softlines are not distinctions anymore now, they are all Salesfloor TLs and the store gets to decide how to break them up (you can also exchange between HL and SL anytime without waiting for 18 months since its not a change in title. Replenishment is always a Senior TL position. Food...

    Archived ETL

    Yes I agree. I think I think each district with have an APBP and HRBP and they will have an hourly TL rep in each store. I think that the ETL charts will depend on volume. At its lowest you will have an ETL-Style (SL/GE/Home) and Essentials (LOG/HL/Food). If you have a Super, it will have...

    Archived Grocery rollout custom blocks

    Realistically it is possible for the process to work, but again it completely depends on your STLs "idea" of what it should look like and/or whoever is doing your store's payroll allocation. The secret to "logistics" success is a micromanagement of payroll since its so tight as is, so when they...

    Archived Grocery rollout custom blocks

    The payroll will depend on your store (and sales mix) because we could both be 60M stores, but do vastly different sales in food in particular. The schedule also has little guidance that I have seen, as it is up to stores to just figure out. They basically are telling stores to go down to one...

    Archived Grocery rollout custom blocks

    You can fit about 2 u-boats per pallet spot and leave enough room in between them to step alongside them (since they are so long it takes an extra step to get to the back of them to stack). The bars are removable on either side. I have it so its a custom block/valley and have 6 u-boats for...

    Archived Leadership in a 4am Store?

    You are one of the 80+ stores going from Overnight to 4AM this year. This also comes with a cut in Org Charts as a 4AM stores can run on far less leaders than an O/N Store. Overnights take more leaders to run (as the ETL-LOG is overnight and unable to watch over dayside workcenters AND it is...

    Right, he is not using the TPC function though, simply adding items to already existing HQ generated promotions. They do not track those and I use it all the time! The easiest thing I do is just shop receiving. I just look for pallets of stuff we have tons of in there and make those into...

    Archived Are GSAs held up to the same expectations as GSTLs at your store?

    If you want my problem, I think its the actual organizational structure and titles. All Target needs to do is say going forward, there is always supposed to be one person watching the lanes (kind of like how there is always an LOD). The LOD can be anybody from Senior TL, ETLs, or the STL. The...
