TTOEntireTeam: I honestly miss you. Almost all of you. I really can't wait to be cleared to come back.

Clearly, I'd be running cosmetics, which will be great considering we'll have competent Flow and Backroom teams.

I'm that TM that wears about every shade other than true red 95% of the time. Honestly, finding true red can be hard, and my leadership team doesn't seem to care.

TTOLeadershipTeam: First of all, good job losing my Final paperwork. Works for me! Second, nice try with the new coaching, but your dates are wrong, and you claim I NCNS'ed, but my phone records say differently. And those funeral days you swore wouldn't count? Yeah, i have that in writing. So...

TTOLeadershipTeam: I'm honestly so upset with you right now that I don't even care if you guys read this and figure out who I am. When one of your hardest working TMs gets married, and a friend of hers (me) sets up a box for everyone to write her a note, it's kind of a shitty thing to do to not...

Mostly, thanks! Still a bit off balance, but definitely better.

TTOETL: Yes, I went home early yesterday. Yes, I'm calling out for tonight. I can't walk without feeling like I'm going to pass out. You can complain about attendance as much as you want, but we both know that I do more in one 4 hour shift then you do in a week, so get off my back. I get sick...

I don't know why she would do that, unless there was actually a ton in the back, but even then, we're supposed to help with finding the correct flex products.

Yeah, that's unacceptable. I try to maintain a good relationship with the backroom. We need each other too much to be being that rude.

As a Brand TM, I can tell you that per company guidelines, we ARE the boss of our area. We are allowed to tell people what to (and not to) do in our departments. For example, in cosmetics, if you come in and try to just place something anywhere, I am allowed to tell you not to, and if you choose...

Part of me is like, no, let the kids get what they want. If their parents didn't do any research or so much as read the case before buying, then that is their problem as a parent. The other part of me wants these little 10 year olds off my GTA because they are obnoxious, so I'm all for telling...

TTOG: Yes, I did stare you down as you tried to put the pack of Oreos your mom said you couldn't have onto a cosmetics shelf less than 2 feet from me. Cry about it. (She was a teenager, so it's not like she didn't know better)

You didn't read what I wrote. If you had, you would have noticed that I was talking about conflicting ETLs giving conflicting tasks. You may be the boss, but so are the other six people on the Executive team. When you each assign the same person a different task with a high priority, you're...

TTOETL: WHY would you lie to my face? I really like you, despite the lie, because you work super hard. However, when I ask who pushed something because 10 minutes into my shift I already have a basket of backstock, don't tell me you guys didn't even have any of that brand in the carts you...

See, I hate this, because this is how most of the TLs and ETLs see things. "Well, they didn't meet my personal expectations, so I'm documenting it." But lately the expectations are for TMs to do the work of 8 in half a shift or else they get spoken to. And every member of leadership has...
