No i was a new ETL directly from Canada. Never had any ties to the US. As per ETLs in the US, you guys are business as usual as far as i can tell.

I never had a problem here with Language, being outside of Quebec we were an English Primary store, and so were all of our guests. Of course a lot of us can speak French if need be, but it was understood that the general communication was to be done in English. Work today is a little hard, not...

Apparently they did.

Costco is doing fine here as far as i know, they just changed to Mastercard and booted out Amex which was a big move for them.

It did come as a big shock to us, and one thing that i have to say i am most disappointed as is the Canadian Guest these past few days. A TM from Ontario captured it quite perfectly in this Reddit post: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/01/16/target-layoffs-job-cuts_n_6486118.html There are...

This sounds similar to WFM (Work Force Management) that is used in Canada.

We follow the team colors pretty well. Shorts are only allowed for Brand attendants during the summer months. Jeans are definitely a no no. We have always been told dress for the position you want to be in.

We have been well stocked on PS4s for a while even though we sold 48 on launch. The Xbone though got 8 units on the 22nd at like 10. Haven't recieved anymore since.

Lauren, Wondering did you end up giving Your local target employees something? How did it go?

Can't speak for them but in my store the day was very positive. Opened to a line of about 100 to 150 people and apart from 2 or 3 everyone calmly walked into the store. Tvs and our electronics dept were the most popular. We sold out of Apple products super quick. Had no AP issues, other than a...

We opened at 7am and had a good but relaxed day. Counted about 200 at the door when we opened and it ran very smoothly. Biggest line was of course Electronics but we didn't have any issues other than stock. Had one incident of merch recovery. Someone must have tried to take off the Spider Wrap...

I'm working a pull with a trolly. Guest: Hi I was wondering where you got that trolly? I couldn't find any at the front. Me: Oh sorry these are for Team members but I can find youa cart if you need. Guest: No its ok I don't want one. Me: *Goes back to stocking and empty my trolly* Guest...

From a lot of the threads I'm reading it seems likea lot of our US sows don't have the best leadership teams in place. I am an ETL here in Canada and my core values are the wellbeing of my team. My role as explained to me is mainly over watch of my teams and ensuring that everyone is...

It seems like you guys have a very different system than we use in Canada. The morning walks in our store are not the leadership team in its entirety but like one STL walking an ETL or an ETL walking a TL or TL walking a TM or something in that mixture. The STLs and ETLs have meetings off stage...

Sorry to play the otherside but in my opinion the morning walks are super useful and pretty satisfying for both parties involved. It might be that your STL/ETL/TL are just not taking the full advantage of what those walks are about. Sure there will be some issues pointed out but those are ops...
