    Archived Difficult Team Members from Other Stores....

    Honoring the BF deal with such a high gift card amount is iffy.. However, anybody who understands Vibe and what Target is trying to achieve at the end of the day, Sales, would have honored the Cyber Monday deal because of the website difficulties. So what... an Ipad costs $499 and you give 15%...

    Archived ETLs sitting in their offices all day

    I get it 100%. For me, and some of the other ETL's I know, I like to know of the issue so I have time to prep what I am getting into so I can either help the guest or ask them to leave the store. Either way, if I ask you to go to 3 or 4 first, don't give me a sigh on the walkie because you...

    Archived ETLs sitting in their offices all day

    Because why the fk would I want to come to the guest service desk from the backroom or the opposite corner of the store just to say, "Yup, we can Vibe with the guest this one time." I can say that just as easily over the walkie, and if you are a GSTM you should know better and actually call for...

    Archived Team Lead Pay

    The stores there are apparently being out matched by everybody else. Surprised Target hasn't adjusted in that region. So many colleges in the area bring in new students every year bringing in more student loans to be spent... Those Targets could be doing major sales but arent... it's...

    Archived No ETL Support

    lol sorry to hear that but then your STL must be on some other wave length. No way will I believe that an AP would allow that to happen unless they were in on it. I have declined numerous amount of things from people I didn't trust such as... people buying 400 worth and paying all coupons and...

    Archived SR ETL

    if i recall correctly... supers that are in the 70+ million range will have a sr.etl. now not all have them and they have definitely been cut back on but from what i understand it's mainly for people they bring in externally who are STL ready but want them to learn how a store operates. usually...

    Archived new STL

    unless this is a mega high volume store or a store that pilots roll-outs i wouldnt think that group level leaders would visit that frequently just for a new STL. most likely BP's and the DTL. The primary DTL may have a peer drop in from time to time though too if its an area highly populated...

    Archived Tips or advice for ETL Log

    in my experiences as a peer to logistics is that if you dont hold you leaders, backroom/flow/instocks/plano then you will not succeed. most logs are afraid of coaching/cca/finals because of the culture nightmare that log can be as finding quality talent at the TM level. with that being said, if...

    Archived ok so my store has a lot of openings on the sales floor and have asked to be cross trained

    to make it past your 90 days all you need to do is never call in sick, show up on time and do what is asked of you. if your store has a lot of openings, chances are that you will automatically make it past your 90 day review. cross training is the best way to pick up hours, so if you are looking...

    Archived ETL experiences

    sorry you took it that way, i definitely did not mean it in a hateful sense by any means. 120 hours is the bare minimum so i agree that sucks. i usually operate with 140... enough for an opener and closer and a very short mid 4-5 days a week. take it for what it is but my sbux has a very high...

    Archived ETL experiences

    lol your area is an area that is fully staffed at all times. so yes it should be a self-sustaining workcenter. i oversee Starbucks, and no its not easy. it took me forever to learn the register and i probably make the worst mocha's ever. however, if you are AST and have 2 other AST's who are...

    Archived Transferring as an ETL

    as an etl my first question to you would be, does your stl know you are looking to relocate? second question is, whatever your relocation is in talent mgmt sys then you need to change that. if you are not open and honest about wanting to transfer and try to be sneaky about it... it will never...

    promoted me to guest for getting too many redcards

    i would be willing to bet that 90% of stores give out the 5% discount upon a denied application or "needs further review" application. There is a best practice to not do it, but then Vibe comes into play and "manage your business" comes into play. The amount of money that Target loses from...

    Archived softline signing

    if that is your real pic i would take it down asap... and any part of your username if it involves your real name. and i dont understand your question really... why can't you delegate it to them?

    Archived Giving Feedback to the Store

    lol ^^ all about best team survey. i would say its common but if it seems overwhelming... then chances are your leadership team etls and stl have received a ton of feedback already and or on visits from a dtl he/she thinks that team culture is bad then that is the "new" focus. even though it...
