Okay, well I’ve seen more people leave, then come back, than I feel like should have. Especially since everyone here seems to think that working anywhere else is so much better. Based off what I have seen, they really are not. I have yet to hear about another company that is any better than...

All I’m seeing at this point is a bunch of people who are unwilling to change. If anyone knows anything about business, then you know that change is necessary to keep a business alive. If you don’t like change, I’d invite you to go work for Nordstrom or JC Penny. They have done nothing to change...

When I first read this thread, I’ll admit I got real upset with what was said. @Fyi I got way too heated, and probably a little blinded by my own anger with what you said. After going through this though, I can understand that there is surely many things that have built up to you feeling this...

We are not here for personal attacks. This should be an open and honest discussion about an issue. Something I think has been lacking in most stores for a while.

I’m not trying to go after anyone here, and I also will not say that I am perfect. There are always things I can improve on. But statements like the ones being made here, hurt me and every other leader who actually care and want their teams to be successful. We lose all credibility when we get...

And believe me when I tell you that for me, it’s more important that my team is happy, than any metrics. Because if your team is happy, it will show in your metrics, it is a direct correlation.

What so maybe there are three or four stores being talked about here. We are honestly going to sit here and say that because of that, automatically it’s happening at a majority of stores?! Even if it was 10 stores, that’s a tiny fraction of 1800+ stores in the chain. And I’ll state it again, at...

Yes, and no one here is trying to say that those things NEVER happen. My issue with this thread is that things are being said that make it seem like the whole entire company is somehow trying to get rid of people they think are worthless to their cause. I have met my group director exactly one...

When it becomes an issue that is brought to the ethics team, the store has failed. Leadership has failed. A situation should never need to be taken to that level, if the store puts enough emphasis on business conduct that is ethical, and has fostered a culture of inclusivity, then it should...

You will NEVER convince me that district and group level leaders are somehow conspiring to performance older TM and TM with disabilities out of the stores. IN FACT, I can tell you right now that some of the people doing the best work, are also some of our older TMs. Don’t sit there and tell me...

And this is the problem. Someone wants to start something, so they throw out extreme accusations of things that may only be happening in a handful of stores. All this in an effort to get a bunch of people riled up. And guess what? If these things are truly happening, that is truly awful, and I...

I will concede that if your leaders are failing you, then I am sorry and it sucks. But you will never convince me that anyone at corporate is incompetent enough to not learn anything from Sears. Target would never put itself in a place to receive bad press, and then as a consequence, possibly...

You’re assuming that every single store, in a company with almost 1900 stores is exactly the same at this moment. I find it very hard to believe that anyone working at corporate would being sending down a message to the stores that they need to “performance people out”. I find it very hard to...

I have only been in role for about a week and a half right now, but I am finding it really difficult to nail down my routines. When I come in for the day, the store seems to be in shambles. I am not even kidding when I say that there are pallets, uboats and flats of transition piled up in the...

I usually wear a polo, but I’m wondering if it’s acceptable to wear the cargo khakis that are on bullseye shop. I am the closing team lead at my store and I find they come in handy being on the floor. Plus I prefer using pockets for equipment to using the holster. I’ve even worn a holster before...
