Welcome to IL!!! It’s great here!

I have a degree in sociology. When I was an STL I had a team leader with no college classes or degree but was amazing at his job. I fought long and hard because I knew he would be a great ETL. It paid off because he’s been a kick ass ETL ever since. Not sure he would ever be promoted to STL- but...

4 of my stores from before I left are on this list. So glad to not have to deal with this!

This is correct. My new company gives one MONTH for every year! So amazing.

The first group and district I worked in had a designated district office that was not in a store. Was in an actual office building. They shut it down when they did some realigning and moved it to another state in the group. This was about 3-4 years ago so it might be in a store now. My last...

This! You can win awards, get taken on the corporate jet, get one of the highest scores on your review, and 4-6 months later all of a sudden a new boss comes and you don’t know how to do your job, the position just isn’t meant for you, and so many other things I was told that I can’t repeat...

I’m assuming she’s in MN. If her HR Director is a certain someone, gooooood luck to her. I obviously won’t say names, but there’s one HR Director that makes it almost impossible to get to headquarters. She’s the worst. Have your spouse apply anyways! Good luck!

Funny you brought up the “constant activity”. I miss that a lot. I have gained 17 lbs since I left August 2016 and my eating habits haven’t changed except for now I actually get to take a lunch. The running around and not eating lunch kept me so fit. Damnit!!

It’s really the best feeling ever. I didn’t realize how unhappy I was, how exhausted I was, and how unfulfilled I was until I started my new job. My wife always called working for target like being in a cult. I realized I was really married to Target and having an affair with my wife. Family...

It’s all about politics. Yes, you have to work hard (sometimes)to promote, but I can’t even tell you how many people I have seen be promoted that shouldn’t have been just because they were well liked. I also have seen so many people Be “pushed out” or on the bench for months even years just...

Congrats!!! All I have to say is...TAKE THE JOB!!!! Everyone is replaceable at Target and you might be amazing and your store might really depend on you, but trust me they will move on quickly. Target plays so many games with people so I wouldn’t bank on the TL position. It would suck to pass...

Ah makes sense. I negotiated my way out too and couldn’t give any notice. It was immediate. I was so pissed that I couldn’t wrap things up or say bye. I guess it depends on your boss. Sorry your store is in a sucky situation for Black Friday.

Oh yes, Target relocated me 2 times. You have to be with the company for 18months before you quit or you have to pay them a ton of money. You can be fired whenever though. If it was close to her 18 months she still very well might have gotten a package. If it was only a year she definitely got...

This! First- on the STLs “quitting” before they get fired, I guarantee you they received a package. Second- in my last position I started off with a boss who I absolutely loved working with. She was supportive, helpful, honest but nice, encouraging. She was a GREAT leader, however I’m...

True about the STL bonuses- sometimes higher
