    Can I get in trouble for not reporting a conflict of interest?

    Our store has a front end TL who regularly parties and hangs out with his front end TM's, along with sleeping with some of his female TM's. I haven't attended any of their recent outings, but the big rumor that I'm hearing right now is that there was an incident where he got drunk at a party and...

    Can I behave however I want during my final two weeks?

    As of yesterday, my two weeks notice is in and Friday 9th is going to be my last day at Target. My simple question is this: Can I behave however I want? I was honestly ready to quit without notice but the only thing stopping me was that my new job doesn't actually start for roughly a four more...

    My fellow TL's are setting me up for failure.

    I'm a GMTL who's being treated very unfairly by all of the other TL's at my store and I don't even know where to begin. For starters, we have one annoying guy at the registers who always puts on a stupid voice whenever he gets on the walkie to ask guest service for more change. One day he'll do...

    How much trouble would I be in for deliberately making noise on the walkie?

    I've reached my breaking point with this place. I've only been a TL for a couple of months, but I'm already dealing with TM's who talk shit about me behind my back, a backroom overflowing with freight, and ETL's who don't support any type of actual leadership decisions that I try to make. I've...

    I hate my SD's new rules.

    My store has a new SD after our last one quit without notice roughly a month ago. Me and this new SD actually have a good relationship. We quickly formed a solid camaraderie and he ended up being the one to give me that final push into being promoted to a GMTL. This promotion was something that...

    What power does the SD have for off the clock events?

    This past Saturday night was a party for me and my usual group of co-workers whom I regularly hang out and party with. We try to keep these parties and gatherings secret since our SD and other ETL's don't like us getting together (as if it's their business) but this latest party was our biggest...

    Does this hurt my chances at becoming a leader?

    A couple of nights ago, I went to the apartment of one of my GM co-workers and she was basically just hosting a get together for some people at work to hang out and have some fun. There was about 10 of us ( a mix of some members from GM, electronics, and the front end) and it was basically just...

    How do these specialty changes affect GM leaders?

    With the news that specialty sales will be having home and seasonal brought into it, I’m just curious as to what exactly happens in terms of the GMTL head count. My store is low volume and we have 3 GMTL’s and currently in the process of hiring a new GM ETL. We also have two Style leaders, one...

    Losing my patience.

    I'm a GM Team Member who's in development to become a GMTL. More specifically, the hardlines GMTL who oversees toys, entertainment, sporting goods, and seasonal. Almost a month ago, my HR ETL had me fill out this worksheet detailing my development plan and it had a bunch of goals and metrics to...

    Being in development and having a crush on a team member.

    I'm a GM team member who's currently in development for a lead role. One of our GM leaders is officially leaving the company next week and my SD and HR ETL have both been having some talks with me about my development and the plan going forward. My SD gave me the "My Development Plan" worksheet...

    How long do transfers take?

    This isn't me, but for one of my GM TL's. A few weeks ago, I overheard her in a conversation and while I couldn't quite make out everything being said, I could gather that she was talking about here at work. Then there was a point when I clearly heard her say "I'll put in my transfer tomorrow."...

    Should I be worried about my shot at a TL role?

    Today before our Inbound crew got started on the unload, our GMTL who usually runs the trucks gathered us up in a huddle and told us that he was leaving the company and that his last day was next week on Tuesday. As an aspiring GM team member who's currently in the pipeline for leadership...

    A question about TL development.

    A few weeks ago, I talked with my GM ETL about leadership positions. We chatted and she brough up additonal "developmental activities" around the store to help me as I stay in the pipeline and unofficially train to be a leader. This included being the Seasonal DBO, which is easy so far. Our...

    I'm worried about my status as an aspiring leader.

    A couple of weeks ago, I talked to my ETL (General Merchandise) about becoming a Team Leader. We eventually sat down for a brief little interview where she asked me my strengths, my preferred department, and near future plans for my training and development. She had mentioned things like me...
