    Archived changing availability

    what's the best way to pitch changing your availability to give more flexibility at another job? i've heard a few times how other TMs landed better jobs and only stay on at target a couple (or even one) days a week, which is what i'm wanting. when i spoke to a few ETLs they were pretty rigid...

    Archived You're not paid to think here

    Here's the scenario, you have worked at target for let's say a year, you get along well with everyone, have very good attendance, work your ass off, get passed over for promotions multiple times, get your wrist slapped for showing initiative and working hard, etc etc. So you decide you've had...

    Archived Target terms you hate

    one of my team leads told me its a great job to start if you want a drinking problem. from what i've heard getting promoted is a balance of working hard (or at least appearing to), and brown nosing everyone above you. everyone. if they picked people to 'develop' and you arent in the club...
