I've essentially been treading water for the past couple of years at Spot, learning how to be a "Global" team member. I've held leadership positions at our competitors and really want to make some more money. The job market is tough in my area, so the obvious choice is to look within. So.... I recently approached my TL to mention that I'm ready to move up. I mentioned that I want to move back into leadership and I already work here (we're both a little jaded for various reasons and we occasionally bounce our problems against each other). Following the logical progression I then approached my ETL. She was happy to see that I want to move up and I immediately asked for feedback for some things I can work on in the short term. Hunting down the ETL-HR is a different story. It took a week and a half to get her free for 5 minutes while I was on the clock and not up to my ears with workload that the rest of my team left for me at noon. She was psyched (or at least feigning enthusiasm) and mentioned there is a workshop that she will drag me to next month for potential team leads.
We'll see how that goes. In the meantime I have to go from my normal "not be seen nor heard" so I can get my work done to "I'm so happy be working at Target!!!" and be global and visible.
