Probably, but if he's dumb enough to give out personal info on the walkie once, who's to say he won't do it again? Or some other idiotic bullshit

So... my STL gave out an ETL's personal phone number... on channel 1 of the walkie. I can't even begin to understand how someone could be so dumb as to give out something like that, let alone the STL. I already emailed the Integrity hotline about it, since my store doesn't have an ETL HR at...

My store tries to keep etls and srtls separate from tms as much as they can. We've got some cliques among the regular tls but everyone higher than them pretty much stay out of it. Never seen any upper management give rides home or that sort of thing either, usually falls to another tm.

At my store we're pretty much hiring anyone with a pulse to cashier at this point. Attendance has been so horrible we just need warm bodies, so depending on what store you go to you might just get in based on the fact that you've worked in retail before. I know at mine past retail experience...

I have a cashier who works ~39 hours with Target, 35 hours at her other stocking job, and takes 15 hours of classes. Lots of staring off into space with that one. I don't know how she does it, she tells me she doesn't really sleep which sounds about right since idk how she would have time to...

I know generally Target prefers to hire ETLs straight out of college over internals, but would they hire you if you've been working for them while in college? I'm asking since I'm graduating in a couple years, and I'll have been with spot for 4 years at that point. I'm pretty popular with the...

... is this a Target wide thing? I've been with spot for 2 years and never heard of this. We have TMs regularly work over 8 hours at my store if we have hours to spare and they want them.

When I was a cart attendant usually around 25-30k, with the most being 42k once when I had to open-close (10am-11pm o_O). But now that I'm a GSA it's around 5-15k depending on how much standing around I have to do...

I'm at a high volume Super Target and I can't remember the last time we got more than 10 RedCards in a day, let alone 20... That being said our current ETL GE only cares about surveys and Bullseye's Playground.

I've heard a lot of people say GSA is a good stepping stone for becoming a team lead, but at my store none of the team leads in any department (that I know of) were originally GSA's. So as a GSA myself, I'm wondering if anyone has had GSA's transition to become TLs for other departments, and...

So I've noticed that every time a Target sponsored volunteer event (i.e. Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, etc.) gets posted in my TSC, it's 90% team leads and HR TMs who signup for it. I wish I could say that they're all just great people doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, but I know...

As a couple other people have said, that could just be her way of team building. Personally, both of my GSTLs (women in their 30s) call me "sunshine" at times because I have a tendency to look really bored when I'm not with a guest lol. I've also had a couple STLs who playfully joked around...

My store seems to work the same way as Amanda's. I've always been told to just decline everyone who tries to return items like this, but ASANTS. Also have some GSTLs/GSAs who insist on NO returns without proof of payment, while others just say to give the guest what they want unless it seems...

After telling a guest that we can't return items that were sold at a different store on the same day: Guest: "Well that's fucking dumb, you guys should advertise that. :mad:" Me: "You're right, we should. Have a nice day. :)"

If your AP and TLs don't really pay attention to what team members are up to you can probably just sit in your car until someone calls you to do something. I did that pretty often when I used to be a cart attendant. Just make sure stuff is sort of done, at least done enough that people won't...
