Hi! I'm an ETL in training and new to Target! I'm nearing the end of Business College (training) and my training ETL and STL are considering extending my training before giving me the go to my home store, because they think I'm not ready.
The problem is that my trainer is terrible at training and is a also a District Trainer. She often forgets that I need to be helped and gets annoyed whenever I call on her for something or ask her a question. She always has something else more urgent to do. I often have to find out things alone a lot or rely on team members to explain things. I make the mistakes and then she gives negative "feedback" on things which I should have been taught at the beginning by her. I learn more from the ETLs who aren't my trainers.
I've talked to her and to the STL . He sides with her and doesn't help much. I want to talk with the DTL, but I can't think of a way of telling the truth without throwing people under the bus. I want to be successful and impress the DTL who hired me, but I hope that she (my trainer) is not setting me up for failure by being lazy. What should I do?
