We had recently gotten a new ETL-LOG who from the first week was running circles around every other ETL in our building. The guy is clearly legit and and has been running things like a professional. He has tons of professional work experience and degrees.
I was pretty sure he would quit and move on to something else once he realized what "executive" means at Target....
Well, I was half right. This morning at the huddle they announced that he would be leaving our store at the end of the month because he was just signed off as an HR business partner.
Pretty damn impressive having only been with company for a month himself.
Though, I am starting to suspect that they hired him knowing full well they would offer him something else. He had way too much experience and education to be an ETL working with other ETLs who basically had zero work experience and crappy education in comparison.
I have to say, I am going to miss him and some TMs at the huddle were genuinely upset about it. He is the first ETL I can remember that came in on day one treating *every* TM with the same kind of respect he shows even the STL. He was also the first ETL I can remember in a long time who actually clearly knows his job and cares about doing it well instead of hanging out in clerical.
Speaking of which, I think my favorite thing about him is the fact he doesn't do that sh**. I can tell that it legitimately bothers him that the other ETLs piss off 2-4 hours daily hanging out in their offices playing on the computer or hanging out at Starbucks. I have never seen him participate in that behavior.... not even for a minute.
