    Store director bullying

    You quit, he had no power over you anymore, so bullying is a stretch. Unprofessional? Absolutely. Lets be perfectly honest, most of the SDs and ETLs are not professionals to begin with. Anyone who quits Spot gets trashed, really they do. Their "policies" are no better than the paper you wipe...

    What would cause a SD to get fired?

    Wow! Holy cow! Unbelievable!!!Just found out Karma finally met my old STL. Even though I have found a much better position for me and my life I can't help but feel vindicated. I hope everyone whose life was affected negatively by this person sees that their behavior was finally shut down. I...

    What would cause a SD to get fired?

    If a store director is let go "abruptly" 1 week before Christmas, there is something that corp is afraid of. Could be something that could cause lawsuits (messing with peoples hours, falsifying documents etc) If they were just being performanced out, they would wait until after the holidays, not...

    Can a tl be fired

    If a TL notices “odd behavior” they report it to HR and then it’s out of their hands. HR has the knowledge on how to proceed within the law, TLS don’t. A good TL will never divulge this information to any team member. Just because you think nothing has been or is currently being done is really...

    Is your store having all TL’s close the store themselves?

    talk to her again. figure out how many times you have opened and tell them ( don’t ask, TELL)they owe you back pay for those dates. Put it in an email for a paper trail. sometimes ETLS get amnesia when confronted by BPs about why something was not taken care of. You are not asking for a favor...

    Is your store having all TL’s close the store themselves?

    It applies only if you are opening or closing the building. If you are the first one there to take down alarms and unlock doors or last one to leave and arm the building and do the drive around, then you get the pay

    Is your store having all TL’s close the store themselves?

    If you are the closing or opening lead, don't forget perimeter pay.... Not a whole lot of money but it is required. If they do not give it to you, you are "working off the clock". Opening leads drive around the building, pick up BOL, unlock the building take down the alarm before they ever punch...

    Do they really believe?

    Because it hasn't happened to you doesn't make it bullshit. It is happening and has happened all over the country. Lucky you. You have in effect insulted thousands of people who worked their collective asses off only to have their hours cut to nothing. Their insurance is gone. Their ability to...

    Do they really believe?

    Businesses are in business to make money. Most people understand that. However, what this company has done to increase their bottom lines is slimy. 2 short years ago they had a workforce that included older americans. Not so much anymore. Look around how many older team members are still around...

    Do they really believe?

    Nice stock quotes. At what cost? They have treated their employees worse than dogs the last few years. I may be in the minority but I don't believe that this soul less corporation should be patted on the back for the treatment of the people who make them big bucks. Their workers are viewed by...

    Archived How high can you go

    One thing is for sure at spot, everything old becomes new again. When I first started (back in the olden days) the wording for ETLs was exactly like it is now. You did not have to have the almighty degree. About 5 years after the wording was changed to "degree required" Around that time a large...

    Do they really believe?

    What leadership says on stage can be totally different than what they say in private. As much as people think all ETLs do is sit on their backside, that is not reality. As hard as they ride the team, they are being ridden just as hard. They have to project a positive image to the team. If they...

    Archived Planorama Captain?!?

    LOVE planoramas!!! The one piece of advice I can pass on to you that was passed on to me from a wonderful TL- When something goes wrong, and it WILL happen, don't get down on yourself. Think about solutions not how you missed it. Also when you get frustrated, and you WILL get frustrated, don't...

    Archived Frustrated ETL

    Most of your frustration is exactly how team members feel especially the micro management and favoritism. It is what it is right now. Sure you should be spending 80% of your time delegating, training and coaching but that is just not reality anymore. Some stores have figured it out, but most...

    Archived Offered TL position in Grocery

    I actually loved being the TL in grocery at a SuperT. My second favorite TL position! I felt like I actually was able to run the show. You do have to be all in to do it. If you try to half ass something it will come back to bite you. Its one of the harder positions but very satisfying

    Archived Fighting a review score

    Not quite true. I did it 4 years in a row. Early in my “career” with Target I did challenge a review. I was a team member at the time and I went to the ETL to plead my case. She hadn’t actually read it and signed off. The score was changed. But that was in a different Target universe far far...

    Archived STL coaching based on camera?

    When people were stashing stuff in my fixture room I asked AP to watch for me to see who was doing it. The difference its I told people in huddles I would be reviewing the cameras to see who had no respect for the people who have to clean the fixture room just to get to the things they need...

    Archived Need Help making a decision

    There is no way I would take a TL position with a degree. I know they don't usually promote from TM to ETL, but it does happen. Truth is if you were not employed by Spot right now, you could apply as an ETL and chances are pretty good you would get interviewed and potentially hired. I had an ETL...
