At my store we do promote a lot of TMs from within so when I speak to potential new hires its easier for me to be honest about promotions. I usually tell them that "you determine your own future at Target. If you're interested in moving up with the company there is certainly a potential for that...

Its hard to know how to react because I don't know the ETL personally. I've always been a very open person, so if this was myself and my ETL I would sit down with them in person and express exactly what I'm feeling. I'd express how I want to assume more responsibility, to develop my leadership...

Look on your next paycheque to see if it is listed. Its under TRC, or Temporary Rate Change. If you aren't seeing this reflected you are not being paid properly. You should go to your HRTM or ETL-HR and ask to be transferred departments with the PDT (Promotion, Demotion, Transfer) form. It must...

Pay raises vary by location. At my store a raise from cashier to GSA is significantly more than yours and minimum wage is over $10 here. So this person's store may be in a similar situation.

I wish I could say we had enough hours. In the beginning you were hard pressed to find a TM working less than 40 in a week. We knew hours would drop after open, so we didn't want to overhire by a mile, so we often found ourselves short staffed. Then June hit and most of our non-process TMs...

Haha I got through about page 8 and pretty much all that I know is that everything is "amazing" but it made me laugh. I just find it so weird that it is a prominent fixture in the US but Canada never even mentions it! I wonder if eventually they will introduce it here, I just don't understand...

I see a lot about "vibing" on here and see it mentioned in Red Magazine, but we don't have that here in Canada. What exactly is the "vibe" and why do you think its something that isn't being used in Canada?

What a difference between Black Friday in the US and Canada Here in Canada our store is only open 7am-11pm on Black Friday

I just finished scheduling for Black Friday, at least in my store we will be open from 7am-11pm on the day. Rumors are going around that we will have US pricing on the items, but I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think we will see anywhere near the volume of people the US stores do. But...

You can ask HR to be paid a Flow pay-rate for those shifts. We pay all of our TMs the appropriate wage when they're working frequently within a different workcenter with a higher pay-grade.
