My logic just says that they will promote up a TM inside and outside hire another person for my old job. It is on a popular job board, right now. It might just be coincidence, though. Does that make sense?

So...the conversation did not go well with my ETL. I was pretty much given an ultimatum that was either a do or die type situation. My STL is out at the moment for the next week, and I am pretty much at his mercy at this point as to whether I stay or get fired. Here is the weird thing though...

Yes, I am GSA. The job is getting to me. My mental health is not conducive to a job like this. I really do not know why I though I could do it. I have been in a position for little over two months. And yes, I am TM wanting to step down to TM. The expectations are unreal with redcards and survey...

I am thinking about stepping in down in a few weeks...maybe. What is the process for this and is there the risk of just being flat out fired for this request. I am not a TL, but I am in a high stress position that is TL-like but not TL. My health is suffering for it. I need advice. Thank you!

One other question. Sanzano mentioned on an earlier post that there is a check box at the end of the interview. Can multiple candidates get the "check" to move on to the next round? The reason I ask is that I have a good relationship with GSTL, but I percieve there to be a better relationship...

How much pull does a TL have during an interview for GSA compared to the ETLs and STL? If it were up to managment I would have a great chance to get the position otherwise I think my chances take a big hit. I was interviewed by the GSTL in this case.

One thing I have learned in the interview process for promotions is that you never bad mouth previous employers. I I will admit that I am not the best at interviews and thinking on my feet. I know I will have to improve on this, if I were to go for bench interviews. All I know is that I am at a...

I think my critical flaw was that I just "quit" the dollar store. I also had a job before Target, where I worked at a home improvement store as an hourly; however, I was out of my element there because I had no idea what kind of screw Joe Blow needed. I left there on good terms, though. I think...

On a previous post, I asked about getting on the bench. I have a Masters Degree for what its worth. I have 12 years retail experience this apri, some of which I served as a CSM/dept mgr. at Walmart. I held a job as a store manager at a dollar store and ultimately quit due to 65 hour weeks and...

I have an grad degree and work at a store as a sales floor team member.I would like to be a team lead. I do not want to disclose my age, but how is too old to start climbing the ladder at Targer? I have lots of retail exp. including dept mgr/csm experience at Walmart. I have heard there is a...

That is a good suggestion. I have done that and would recommend It to someone who is calling out and sincere in changing. The thing is I did do that before I figured I had mental health condition, which causes me to go up and down in mood. Some days I am terrified of conversation with little old...

So, I came to the conclusion that it would be in my best interest to continue to improve my attendance/tardy issue. I do wonder how my situation will be handled. I missed two days due to snow;then a subsequent two to the flu. I go back tomorrow with my doc statement. Should I ask tem up front...

Sorry, I did not reply. I think I am to the point where I see the handwriting on the wall here at Target. I honestly think the best thing for me to do is put in my two weeks, rather than being fired. I don't feel like I am being self-righteous in doing so. I just cannot stand the thought of...

No, I did not. They have been really understanding, which really blind sided me that it was an issue. My tl just said he got an email to coach me. I am a pretty good employee with the top metric score in my work enter. I stay when they ask me and do all sorts of extra work not in my work enter...

So I was coached the other day over attendance/tardy issues. I do have medical issues that are documented and my stl and other etls are aware of them. We did just have severe winter weather where I live. I live an hour from my store. I don't think the road conditions will improve. Will this...
