Course I had those days. I mean I think you can have those days anywhere. To deal with it, basically have to understand, tomorrow will be a better day and there are people in worse shape than this worrying and stressing over reshop, freight, etc. I mean my motivation was $ and I was actually...

Melvin, In regards to disrespecting of team members. When it came to for example, setting an expectation of minute a box stocking. Which is in reality, double what it really is on an average of all areas. If I am working at a regular pace say in chemicals and can knock out 100 boxes in 60...

It shouldn't make you resent ETL's. They have 0 control what comes down from corporate. If you asked them about 90% of the changes they must roll out, they hate almost all of them. Trust me. If you are hating your ETL's for new changes, you don't have a realistic view of how the company works

So you expect to do the minimum and get recognized and promoted for doing the bare minimum? Of course their is politics in Target. I said there were when talking about people that got promoted before/after me. Their is politics in every business/retail/ aspect of life you come across. Its a...

It is, that poster doesn't know what they are talking about. There are numerous other retailers that are equal or bigger than Target that use the exact same managerial pyramid that Target does I am sure there are smaller retailers that maybe hav ea "shift manager" make bigger decisions but I...

In regards to your shift supervisor comment. I feel you are beyond way off. As an ETL, I WAS responsible for what happened in that store. So whether that store was an 18 million dollar store or an 80 million dollar store, it was my responsibility along with my peers of what went on thru it...

So workers saying no to a basic function of their job shouldn't be terms for CA or termination? I mean your name isn't on the outside of the building. Target can change the core roles whenever the fuck they please. Again, retail is an ever changing business because today's model won't work...

No, no explinations. I mean I understand slow months mean less payroll, but still same expectations. I think even in the business I currently work for, we have the same thing going on. Again, you must understand that payroll is the most controlled expense. A company will never lower their...

Fire Away

Please do elaborate.. What is it highly revealing of me? I have pointed out numerous things wrong with Target and things that are good. I think you are missing the point in that comment I made. At the end of the day any company has a business to run and be profitable. There are numerous team...

I never saw an ETL younger than me in my 5 years promote faster than I. I know there are alot of seasoned ETLs that know their job is a cake walk and don't want to promote. Your strong contributors that is. I know many that knew they could stay on the front end or softlines and hav e a cake walk...

No I never had anything or anything like that even discussed. I know like payraises essentially were the way this was done by having everyone be required to be ranked on the stats and green/red numbers and everything. But nah, never had anything like that come down Plus you don't understand the...

Will be here for couple more days so get in any Q's you been dying to know from A-Z. Just no derailing please. :)

I do not think its dangling payroll over a team members head. From my 5 years and interactions with TM's, if they truly wanted hours, they were "there". Yes I am not going to give someone or ask someone to stay or if they want more hours if they call in are late, etc. What respect are they...

It's not the same at all. At any job you work, they have a business to run and set hours to work around. Do you think if you had availibilty from 5p-10p an office would hire you? It's the same case here. Target has a business to run at the end of the day. Plain and simple. There doesn't need to...

I mean it all depends. If it's announced, then definitely we have tons and tons of notes of previous visits of what htey will look for and ask. I mean I memorized answers to questions they were gonna ask before they did and how to answer em right. Were they true? Fuck no, but they bought it. Now...

Back to the real thread, not this hijacking bs. I held my team accountable and if I had ex tm's in here they would fully say that. All my females threw my trucks, all my males threw my trucks. I mean, I had peers that were females and males that didnt like using the crown and I would do it for...

This is something I hated to do come end of month and told welp every work center has to cut 100 hours. Oh really, cause even if we do, punch corrections will hit and still F us. We were basically told this is what we get, figure it out. Granted a couple STL's knew it was a team job to get it...

Yes, there really is no choice. When I spoke up about things wrong with my STL that were clear to every ETL and team members, I was singled out. Again, quite sad. But ya, I often had STL's that were like this is gonna suck, but we have to roll it out. Obviously if it gets enough push back after...

Never had to deal with this so can't offer much insight. Took a training on it, but never first hand. I can tell you though, if serious, Target takes that shit serious and will like put all stores on code red to watch out for it, etc.
