Thanks for the input everyone. I was really just curious, cuz while I can understand why they would think im not ready to be a SR. TL. one of the other TMs on the bench has a lot of retail management experience and would make a great SR. TL.
They did the same thing at my store. We went to 1 TL for the entire salesfloor and then made a bunch of us Team Members "Captains" of different areas. But our STL refuses to make any of us brand Team Members.
