I have a lot of respect for an ETL who is willing to do even the most simple task a TM will do even when no one is looking. Also ones who walk the walk talk the talk and hold themselves to higher standard. :)

You could always have little competitions. You could say "the next person who gets a Redcard can pick a DVD or CD for under $15" or depending on how bad you are hurting for Redcards an item $25 or under. I remember one day we had a Hat floating around and whoever was wearing it had to get one...

I remember one external GSA was ok but he asked me a lot of questions he really should have known the answer to. I remember politely smiling and telling him the answers but inside I was screaming "You are the freaking GSA you should know this stuff!" and "You should be setting the example for me!"

Get a Red Target vest. :)

If you desire to be a TL than go for it. It could also help show that you have leader experience if you are applying for another job down the line. Just do NOT let the false promises or hopes of a team lead job allow you to get taken advantage of! If they can get you to do more jobs but not have...

You could do that but do you really want to be blamed for everything that goes wrong?

At 17 you cannot meet the availability requirements. After you turn 18 you can go for it but I urge you to think it over VERY carefully. There is a reason there are so many openings for GSAs, As a GSA you will be basically an underpaid GSTL without the power of a TL. Depending on your store you...

I hope they are not lying and planning to make you do the work of the ETL without having to pay you as one. My suggestion is take the TL position for maybe 6 months or so and see what happens, if something opens up and you get the ETL job than great but if not just look for something else! Good...

I am sure they don't! they have to be able to pay for their yachts, and big houses!

the thing that always made me angry was how TL always got 40hours or close to it and the "justification" was because they do all the hard work... well I hate to break it to Target but TM need to eat, pay rent/mortgage, stuff too! I was crossed trained and used the swap board as much as possible...

I know this is almost a year old but yea I am more willing to bet they have no real intention of promoting you ( I hope I am wrong) and just have you run the Backroom as a TM so they wont have to pay you what a TL makes. Same thing basically happened to me. I expressed interest in promotion I...

I always liked to think of those three "points of no return" as my little "check points" to make sure I did everything right or try to figure out where things went "wrong".

At my former store the SB TL acted as the FA TL also.

most of our GSAs have done that. They will go to college during the day and they close at night but they have fully open during the week end. If your GSTL and ETL-GE really really want you for the job they will find some way to work with you. and like was mentioned before do not let anyone try...

From TM to Sr TL?! wow... congrats!

When I was trained in CO my trainer handed me a sheet printed off of work bench but the past few CO team members tailored it for our store. She also gave me "tips and tricks" she found worked for her. She even said "you can take notes in any way that it will make sense for you". She also left...

make sure you come up with ideas of how to motivate the cashiers to get Redcards. When I applied for GSA my idea was "Redcard hero of the month" it was a good idea and people liked it.

Talk to the ETL-HR. If they are professional and do their job then whatever you say in their office should be confidential! If you get ANY retaliation of any kind from the STL or you just don't feel you can even speak with ETL-HR than call the Hotline. Also make sure you mind your Ps and Qs when...

yea hopefully they are not lying to him and making false promises to get his hopes up.

Like everyone has said before... ALWAYS check the schedule yourself. If you think you have to than take a photo of your schedule so you have "evidence" if any ETL may give you are hard time.
