@FrontEndBitch Please carefully consider exactly what you are getting into before moving up. Each TL position is different. ASANTS, but TLs have a lot of stress. You may find yourself doing a lot of TM work on top of your TL work. Carefully consider if you will have enough time to do it all...

Thank you! This was already addressed, please see above. I will edit that now as it seems to be causing confusion. Thanks again. I agree and blanket disclaimer: All individuals must consider all aspects of the law before taking any action. Never rely on the advice from an internet forum (or...

@Hardlinesmaster Thanks for the catch. OP, please look up your state law prior to using any advice from anyone. Localities will vary and you don't want to risk legal exposure. Believe me that Target will go after you if they can and want to. You are truly expendable and they will make...

And a one-way ticket home!

Document everything but keep your documentation secret. As in keep it at home. Only do so If it is legal: The cell phone recording is your real record. Be careful about this and be sneaky because recording can get you fired too.

One final thought: Document everything! They may be trying to build a case against you anyway. They may also be trying to trick you into working off the clock. Edited---- (Thanks Team!) Only if it is acceptable under the law in your specific locality... When you clock out, turn your cell...

You are probably on the list for ousting. Target has a negative culture. When I was in management, they asked me to pick 3 of my worst performers. I was forced to do this even if I disagreed. They probably used this as a tool to also justify giving you a poor raise. Target is money-hungry...

Please don't talk to anyone or complain. They have secret meetings and your story will be told to exactly the person you don't want to hear it. Please trust me on this.

Respectfully, you are correct. However, please trust me that large companies like Target will find a way to get what they want. Trust me. They have ways. If this is just short-term, please just do as they ask and enjoy your transfer!

Summary: If you are transferring soon and want to stay with Target do exactly as you are told and don't complain. I am sorry that that sounds harsh but it is the way it is. Think of it this way: you will be gone soon!

Don't call the "anonymous" hotline either. They will know it is you and will find a way to get rid of you.

But please just be willing to eat the cost. Take it as a lesson that will be valuable to you later in your career. You will have to decide if arguing is worth your job. I suggest being quiet and just complying. Don't talk to HR or the lawyer. If you do you will lose your job unless that is what...

Be ultra-nice to them but not condescending. Make it clear that you want to help them but not move up (ie, replace their job. So they don't see you as a threat).

Here's my advice: Feed your boss's ego. Target has a yes-man culture. Ask each TL you are having trouble with the exact procedure they want you to follow. Get it in writing. Then follow it to the letter. Ask them how you can make their job easier. Go above and beyond and you might just...

Did you have a shift in leadership? Any new TLs/ETLs/SD?

@Moneyman247 Be careful! Your mileage will vary by store. You may want to try to speed up your transfer ASAP. You seem to be "targeted".

This. Target claims to be a "team-oriented" culture. But it is just a truly fake facade. Their "huddles" include only company-oriented content. If they were really interested in building "teams" then they would allow your reasonable suggestion above. The truth is that Target has become too big...

The fact that they didn't acknowledge you shows how shallow corporate America culture can be. ASANTS, but I have found that Target only cares about you if you directly boost their bottom line. If you hurt their process or cash flow in any way you are as good as trash in their eyes. Even if you...

@Rock Lobster Your analysis in paragraph 2 seems spot on and directly correlates to my own experience with Target. The internal culture seems to focus on personnel replacement in order to solve problems rather than actually training/teaching the team how to solve problems. Target places an...
