A couple weekends ago I was scheduled 3:30-Midnight saturday night, and Midnight-8:30 sunday morning.. I was gonna work it, but my HR wouldn't let me.

Saturday the 20th I work 3:30pm-midnight, then Sunday the 21st I work midnight-8:30am. So I essentially work from 3:30pm-8:30am, 17 hours straight.

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.

I agree that requiring a degree is a good way to weed out external applicants, otherwise it would be almost impossible to go through all of the applications that Target would get. But I think that Target should make more of an effort to promote from within rather than hire from outside, and not...

So I work in a ULV. We are down a Senior Team Lead, but instead of promoting from within they are trying to hire from outside. We have at least 3 Team Members on the bench, including myself. Are they not allowed to promote one of us from Team Member to Senior Team Lead?

At my store they use GSA as a stepping stone position. I was just made a GSA, which im ok with cuz I got a raise and they can't afford to put me up front more than 1 or 2 days a week, apparently im needed too much everywhere else. In the 5 shifts I work this week im scheduled electronics, GSA...

I Clopen at least once a week, but we close at 10 and are rarely there past 10:30, so Clopening isn't too bad at my store.

There are many gun advocates that prefer open carry. But the vast majority of the pro-gun community is opposed to carrying rifles around.

Nobody here is saying that people should be carrying rifles around. Even the NRA is very much against it.

Skepticism is good. I respect the fact that you are trying to look at this issue objectively. But I have presented data, like the fact that between 2007 and 2011 235,700 crimes were stopped by law-abiding citizens carrying guns. Also, I find it interesting how first you guys use school...

The training would actually only take a couple of weeks. I know a lot of teachers that would be willing to go through the training. Schools would be willing to compensate for it because it would be a lot cheaper than paying a full time cop.

The crime rate in Gary has been that high for decades. It wasn't until 2011 that Indiana allowed people to carry. You Can't blame the crime rate in Gary or Chicago on the lack of gun control in Indiana.

Thats why I said the janitors, teachers, and principles should have to go through firearms training very similar to what cops go through.

I'm all for having a police officer in schools. All I'm saying is that there needs obviously needs to be somebody armed in our school to defend the kids, and if thats a cop then thats great. But if there isn't a cop then there needs to be somebody else like a teacher or principle.
