    Archived ETL's; special treatment

    LOL funny you bring up those stop watches, because last night at break those were brought up in the conversation. I've only been at Target for a little over a year, so I didn't get the pleasure of being stop watched lol.

    Archived does target only want etls with NO management experience?

    I suppose its possible, but she's a very serious person. She's one of those business types of people. Doesn't interact with the team well, poor communication skills, thinks she knows best, etc. She's the talk-the-talk and push-the-paper work type of ETLs. So if she was trying to be funny, it...

    Archived ETL's; special treatment

    I work over nights and we aren't a troubled store, in fact we are a very good store in terms of our logistical process as well as sales. We received one of those fresh out of the can ETLs from college back in August and she has been adamant to change things. She's never worked a 4th quarter and...

    Archived does target only want etls with NO management experience?

    Amazing ETL's coming out of this "system". Last night (overnights), my ETL that is pretty much right out of college ended up degrading our guests at huddle by calling them lazy. Stating that all of the guests that come in this weekend for our continual Black Friday sales were and are lazy...

    Archived Subtract 99 (SUBT 999 as referred on here)

    I do it for really anything being moved off of plano (there are a few other instances too, but its mostly plano's stuff). End caps and stuff. If we don't do it, they come up in our batches the next day, which is murder because it will always ask us to pull some absurd number like 40 of it.

    Archived Could I do this?

    First. So-freaking-true-lol! I was in a similar position; 4 year degree, professional experience. Decided to opt out of my degree field when I quit my job, since then I tried to get a O/N TL position that opened up. Didn't get it because of how poorly I interview. This could just be my store...

    Archived T-shirts?

    I'm an O/N member, but a day side ETL yesterday asked me if I had one of the new RED CARD shirts. I told him no, so he then proceeded to tell me to pick one up. The shirt sizes left over are: XXXL, XXL, and Small. I laughed and walked away. I guess I shouldn't of had my 5 day break when they...

    Archived TL interviews completed

    First and foremost to respond to the comment of them humoring me with an interview. Today I had a rather long meeting with my STL, which he ended up telling me I was honored an interview because of my work ethic, attitude, and the ability to produce results. --- A little good news, but I see...

    Archived Bake Center Endcap

    Water-wall, haha. Store layout seems very different from ours, we don't have any water wall...or back wall of water, heh. We have that end cap though, pretty much same spot too. It's actually one aisle down from water, in snacks.

    Archived Backroom Teams at other stores

    I've been complaining to my TL and ETLs to replace me in the backroom forever, they seem to follow the same logic. Which to me, just doesn't make much sense. Working in the backroom doesn't seem all too difficult to be completely honest. You scan an item, you scan a bay, you enter the quantity...

    Archived How do you lead your backroom team?

    Lol waving the backroom. I'm probably misunderstanding exactly how your BR waves, but how are you fitting 3-4 people in an aisle? lol Non 4th quarter, on A side we usually have a team of 2 while the 3rd is by themselves. During 4th quarter its 2 teams of 2. B side usually alone, sometimes in a...

    Archived How do you lead your backroom team?

    Incredible words of wisdom. I preach this so much, even as a TM. Our newest ETL just doesn't seem to get it or understand it, even one of my TL's doesn't get it. You don't understand and value the culture and the sociological make up of your team and you'll gain very little trust and respect...

    Archived Backroom Teams at other stores

    When I was hired, I was put directly into the backroom, but I had 4 years prior experience. It literally took 1 day of training and then I had to tell my TL who was training me in that I got it, lol. The only help I had from then on was just random small questions that the backroom team had...

    Archived TL interviews completed

    Communicating "effectively" is all subjective though in their eyes through this interview process. As I mentioned, the questions are being answered, just not in the way they would like them to be answered. I've received some feedback and the content of my answers doesn't seem to be the issue...

    Archived TL interviews completed

    Alright, so back in August one of our O/N team leads just up and left. 2 weeks later, they officially opened the position to whomever. I felt like I was ready for the job seeing as I'm very proficient at the nightly activities, even taking on some actual responsibilities in delegating...

    Archived Need some advice...

    I completely understood the reasoning for them to be asked, because of instances like this or say on Black Friday, midnight releases, etc. However, why are more then half the questions (thus far) tailored to guest satisfaction opposed to the actual job? Besides for my TM interview, I have no...

    Archived Need some advice...

    Well, I had two interviews so far. I guess there are three packets, so I'm waiting for the last one and then possibly a DTL interview if I'm advanced on. Honestly, a lot of these questions are terrible for the position lol. I understand as a TL there are duties and responsibilities that I may...

    Archived Need some advice...

    I've already applied for it. The opening closed 9 days ago, so I'm waiting on my interview now. Unfortunately, the ETL that doesn't seem to be getting along too well with others, because she wants it her way or no way, already knows that I'm going for the TL position. Which, I over heard she...
