Yep, I would have to say I completely agree with you on that! I definitely get tired of the repeat posts. If I see one more screenshot from WebCTRL I may smash my iPad... We know! It's not working! There's already multiple posts about this! I know exactly what you mean with the patronizing...

I promoted. I started with the company between 2002 and 2007 but this year was only my fourth review that I received as a PMT.

As for this site, I have shared it with a couple of my fellow TLs and a few of my PMT peers. Both circles are a pretty tight group of people. It is a great source of moral support, and getting information when our ETLs and STLs act like some of this info is equivalent to nuclear launch codes...

Yammer is SO much better than our old internally-built PM2GO / Inside TGT social spheres and communication tools. For one thing, it's nice to be able to actually find my old posts and receive notifications without relying on an iPad app that never works (looking at you, Social Sites! o_O) Plus...

My store hasn't told us squat, or if they have they haven't done a good job getting the information to all of us (hard to believe, right...?) A PMT friend at another store in my district told me that his store had a TL meeting a few weeks ago where the ETL-HR sat down and told everyone about...

This is a frequent problem with my fairly new ETL-Log, and it is downright annoying! I usually mention an upcoming time-off request during my weekly status with her (LOL - I know that's funny, fellow PMTs...) and then submit it in eHR right after our status. 99% of the time, she will wait and...

I have not posted on the site in a while, but I have been lurking and checking in every so often. I finally finished catching up on this thread and I will say this: If I had read this thread a year ago with my old team, I would be cautiously optimistic and excited to see some of these changes...

As everyone else has said, Target is never going to take another chance with you because if this. Hopefully you've learned a valuable lesson, so your best bet at this point is to move on. Focus your time and effort into finding another job; perhaps something where you wouldn't be operating a...

I should also mention that although I felt that I stumbled a little bit in my 3rd interview (with my PMBP) on a few questions I wasn't fully prepared for, my PMBP told my ETL and STL the next day that I did great! So make sure you are fully prepared as much as possible, but don't try to answer...

The interview questions are in the STAR format. Google that for more details, but generally speaking you want your answers to cover the following points: -The SITUATION you are using in your example -The TASK you need to perform -The ACTIONS you took to complete the task -The RESULTS of your...

^ X2! I interviewed with my ETL-LOG, my STL, my PMBP, and also did a phone interview with another PMBP. It was very leadership oriented, which is the part I struggled with the most. I was nervous, and didn't answer a few questions with my PMBP to my satisfaction, but I nailed the rest of my...

I just found this thread after searching "email app." As a PMT in training, I was granted access to my new email account this week and because I am shadowing the current PMT at my store during my first few weeks of my training it is obviously not possible for us both to use one iPad as...

We've received a few Christmas items in the last two weeks, along with a couple Black Thursday items that we were low on during the 2-day ad. Guess what's going back on my last merchandise sweep before I leave Logistics?

Ha ha, my thoughts exactly. Here are two things I know for sure: 1. A HomeGoods just moved into town less than 2 miles away from our store; prior to that there wasn't one within 25 miles. 2. My store is definitely getting the Home Reinvention, even though we just had a complete remodel within...

After 10 years here, I would have to say "NO" as well. There are bad days and good days, like any job. The good days far outnumber the bad, and as far as retail jobs go... it could be much worse!! Most of the things that happen that would make me want to quit get handed down from corporate, but...
