    Surcharge question?

    $800 in one check. If you didn't make $800, sorry buddy, pay up. Just kidding. I was curious though, does this include weed?

    TL/PG45 Base Pay Increase

    I've been made aware that pay for team leads in the Seattle area is $27/hour which to me sounds kinda crazy to me. When I was a supervisor at Amazon, I was making $22 with a year of tenure. If TLs are being paid based on prevailing "assistant manager" role compensation, I guess that could make...

    New ETL Interviews

    I just followed up with my recruiter. He confirmed it will be primarily still STAR based questions. My plan is prepare story-based responses while still potentially keeping the door open for dialogue based questions

    Why do leadership in retail places schedule short shifts instead of fewer days when cutting hours?

    I once knew a young woman who commuted 50 mi each way to work retail, for 4 hour shifts. Pay was $18.50/hr. Crazy to me.

    Why do leadership in retail places schedule short shifts instead of fewer days when cutting hours?

    I've worked management roles before so I've been there haha. Though it's sad to be no longer be hourly and not get paid for "extra shifts" anymore

    Why do leadership in retail places schedule short shifts instead of fewer days when cutting hours?

    I figured they'd fill the high demand demand times with part timers, but yeah. I am asking because I'm interviewing to become an ETL (or other management role) lmao and I want to do my job well

    Why do leadership in retail places schedule short shifts instead of fewer days when cutting hours?

    I've always thought this actually worsened attrition. If I was going to be commuting 30 minutes each way, and you are only giving me 4 hour shifts five days a week, I'm going to be looking for other jobs that'll give me 40 hours consistently, or even 30 hours but in 8 hour increments. Plus I'll...

    Why do leadership in retail places schedule short shifts instead of fewer days when cutting hours?

    I think this explanation makes the most sense in my mind. I loved it when my team was scheduled for 5 hour shifts because it meant no need for lunches. Simplified my life a lot, even though I know from having worked those shifts it was really annoying.

    Why do leadership in retail places schedule short shifts instead of fewer days when cutting hours?

    Okay but you're only there for half as long. That's what I'm saying. Hours are hours.

    Why do leadership in retail places schedule short shifts instead of fewer days when cutting hours?

    Y'all, I'm just curious. Every retail place I've worked at, when they cut hours, they cut people from 8 hour shifts to 4 hour shifts, instead of switching from 5 days a week to 3 or 4? Hours are hours, but every day you've gotta show up is more money/time for commuting, etc. Is there any benefit...

    Promoting at Target

    There are people who gain more experience in a year than some people do in 3. It's not just about the number of hours you've had in the job. I've been there. It feels bad, and hopefully this kid can get somewhere that appreciates him.

    General question about AP - why?

    Never knew AP had such upward mobility. What are the next steps after AP business partner?

    General question about AP - why?

    AP seems like such a tough job. You have to deal with all the crazies, be the one to tell people "no," and you're in the most danger. Why do you do it over other roles in the store?

    Interviewing for ETL/TL roles, howdy! I've got some questions.

    Maybe my recruiter didn't get the memo. Thanks for the heads up though, if I move forward to the next round of interviews, I'll be sure to talk about this stuff.

    New ETL Interviews

    I'm external, from campus recruiting, so things might be different on my end, but my first two interviews were Situation, Behavior, Outcome, ie basically STAR. First two (phone screen followed by interview) were with the recruiter. The next will be with a SD, followed by one with a DSD/HRBP (or...
