    Archived What degree does your STL/ETL have?

    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...

    Archived Store closings - sad? mad? overeating???

    Archived District Team Leaders

    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...

    Archived Walmart workers getting paid before payday

    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...

    Archived Applying for Corporate Positions

    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!

    Archived After Target (looking for insight)

    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!!

    Archived After Target (looking for insight)

    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...

    Archived Target sucks!

    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...

    Archived Goodbye Spot?

    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...

    Archived Questionable Promotion

    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.

    Archived Questionable Promotion

    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...

    Archived Questionable Promotion

    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...

    Archived STL in store

    This! Although I've seen plenty of people "performanced out" who shouldn't be. It's really a shame. The politics in this company are just mind boggling. The stories I could share... My wife and I were just laughing about how I was "performanced out" because my boss wanted to replace me with a...

    Archived Age discrimination

    Not age discrimination but I too "left" for no reason. My boss wanted her friend to replace me so she pretty much thought of anything she could to get me to "leave". She actually was planning my exit 2 months after she started her position before even getting to know me. She had her mind set...

    Archived Announcement Tomorrow [Stores Realignment]

    I worked for the company for about 10 years. Three different states all in R100. I "left" the company almost a year ago, and I starting thinking how hilarious it would be when my awful HR director would be the one out of a job and I would be in this amazing role for this amazing company making...
