As some of you may know, I'm a new-in-role Softlines team leader. I've started to get a better grip on my actual job duties, and I'm getting better at prioritizing all of my various tasks. However, I'm having a hard time leading my team. I know that sounds weird, but i mean, I'm just new...

-I've been with Target since 2009. After my seasonal period was over, I moved into the cash office and guest service. I then spent the next year in human resources. After that, I moved into my newest position: Softlines Team Leader. Moving from an office setting to the sales floor is rough...

I've seen it happen, too. Compliance laws are in place to keep you safe and healthy at work. Not clocking out for lunch before six (or five, or whatever your state says) hours implies that you are so busy that you are not able to break away and chill out. That's BAD. LODs always need to have...

Just an FYI- if you find that you are working a higher paygrade workcenter (like, if you are a sales floor tm and you are also doing instocks and electronics which are both a higher paygrade) more than 50% of the time, you need to be making that rate. If you typically more 5 days each week...

I guess I don't see the problem. The issue here most likely WERE her actions and performance rather than her actually starting the union crap. I can't possibly imagine that she was going about this in a brand manner. If she was talking crap about Target on TV, well, isn't that a brand...

I just wrote the schedule today. Wednesdays make me want to call PeopleSoft and tell them how I really feel.

Exactly what I came here to say. DEAR TARGET TEAM MEMBERS: PLEASE silence or turn off your phone if you want to leave it in your (METAL) locker. When your mom calls you over and over and over and over again, your HR team begins to wonder if it's a phone, or their mind disintegrating.

This makes me crazy. I called one (ultra low volume) store for a guest and was so embarrassed because i had to call back 5 times. I finally asked for the LOD, who was really mad that I asked for them. Whatever. If your team can't handle calls, you need to. Also, one store near me ALWAYS...

ACTUALLY- you're not supposed to purchase merchandise on paid time. Check out the purchase policy guidelines. AND- if you are in uniform, even without a name tag, you really should wait in line with the other guests. It's really, really rude to ring out a team member in uniform before...

I didn't forget about iPads! DTLs ARE ALREADY GETTING THEM. [!!!] They will have target-specific apps that can access store's dtk scores, store reports, adjacency books, etc. So, in like 6 years, maybe we -will- have iPods instead of PDAs.

I work in human resources (duh). So, I spend every day dealing with the online systems Target has. Seriously? They are SO AWFUL. I just don't understand why we use Windows (CE for the PDAs???) and PeopleSoft for the HR systems. They are all awful, slow, badly organized... ugh! I just...

SWEET! I was waiting for this! Now I can shop target.com and get my discount! Did you know that you can't use the Target debit card online?

agreed- they should be mailed out. We are just physically giving the stubs to team members and teaching them how to turn paper statements off.

what? This is a corporate decision? I haven't heard anything about it.

an FMLA is a really great option for team members with a recurring health problem, or for a team member with a sick family members. Basically, depending on how sick you are, you get a certain amount of days that you can use towards your FMLA (Hewitt handles this, not Target). I mean, it's a...

I bank with them, and they're great! I've never had loans with them, though.

Anyone with HR Zone access can find the TL interview questions (parts 1-3 + DTL addendum). Listen. I prepped developed myself like crazy, and here's what I learned: It's less important that you have a great answer for each question, and more important that you understand the themes you're...

I just got promoted to Softlines TL. That means that I'm now the only guy on the whole softlines team! I've never worried about being in a "female" job. I'm concerned with brand. And while I may not be thrilled to reshop intimates, hey, it my area. What i have noticed that bothers me [at my...

oooohhhh! We're both in NY. I didn't know sick time was different state to state!

I'm pretty sure it has to do with pay grade. I'm an HR team member (PG7) and I have Vacation, Personal Holiday, AND sick time. But, as I said, they accumulate MUCH slower than team leaders. My partner, however, was recently a PG3, and he accumulated Vacation and Sick time, but NOT Personal...
