    Archived Closed

    To all the veterans complaining about newbies making as much as you now... ... maybe take this golden opportunity to consider switching jobs? Never a better time to do so than when minimum wage increases (or the threat of increases) causes every other job in the area to boost their starting...

    Archived To My Fellow Electronics TMs... (And Anyone Else too) How do you do it?

    This sounds much like our store. Depressingly so. Core roles in electronics have eroded so much that our department's needs are considered an afterthought. Why do the 2-3 carts of electronics reshop that's been in the electronics backroom for the past three days when there's toys/seasonal...

    Archived Excuse me, do you work here?

    What I really hate is the question, "Is this your department?" or "Can you get someone to help me in Toys?". I know they're trying to be polite, but this ain't like the old days anymore. "We" don't run "departments" anymore. It's whoever you can find, lady.

    Archived Gregg is gone (USATODAY Just Reported It)

    Any chance this has more to do with than the data breach? As big as the data breach was, Target was taking all the right steps toward addressing this issue under his leadership. Perhaps there's a little more to this story? Any chance we will see a culture change closer what Target used to be?

    It all depends on what you go to school for.

    Archived Disgruntled Employee

    I used to be that person too. It's about the only philosophy I can live by at Target now; I used to give more than 100% of my effort, and I slowly but surely realized that it didn't matter in my ETL's/TL's eyes. As long as the metrics are green, they don't seem to care about the extra effort I...

    Archived Only Apple products sold at Electronics registers during Black Friday?

    The only way this would work is to have someone who is walking along the line to frequently tell guests that the line is for Apple products only, and that all other Electronics purchases should be made at the check lanes. This can't be great for AAR. How are you supposed to sell service plans...

    Archived How to get everything in electronics department 30% off

    Right, but there are others in this thread that seem to believe that they'll get 10% off the whole purchase. An extra 10% off $499 is still a lot though...

    Archived How to get everything in electronics department 30% off

    Does anyone know if this is just for one item or an entire electronics purchase? I was wanting to get my Xbox One next week with a few games, and it'd be awesome if this were off the whole purchase!

    Archived What exactly is a PA considered ?

    It seems to me that becoming a PA or GSA is a double-edged sword. It's true that these positions can sometimes lead towards becoming a TL... but it's far too easy for a store to take advantage of ambitious TMs who want to promote. I've seen too many of my co-workers end up at a dead end with...

    Archived Burnout

    Just wondering how you folks deal with burnout. I took a week and a half off for vacation, with my first day back being today, in hopes of reinvigorating myself and my job... but it's just the same old, same old. The ETLs seem unwilling to promote or cross-train me, even though I've never gotten...

    Archived Interview for TL tips/questions

    Same here, I was interviewed a couple weeks ago, and my STL was one of my first two interviews (which were back-to-back) I always thought that he would be the third? I do have somewhat revealing questions to ask as far as identifiers go, is there a recent TL hire or someone who is familiar with...
