I wonder how many people who say "if I could find something else" are even really looking? I hear tons people at my store say "I'm going quit when I do X".... and then I always ask them what they have done towards doing X? And 99.9% of the time the response is always "nothing" or some (usually...

No offense to any TPS's here, but I have to say that every single TPS (and even APS) I have ever met have been a few donuts short of a dozen..... My favorite was a TPS I had to deal with for about a year when I was the electronics TL back at my old store. The guy created this paranoid...

This is true. There are lots of TMs out there who have no ambition or motivation in life. There are also many TMs who have criminal records. In my state, you can basically go online and put in someones name to see their criminal history. The law makes it all public record. I decided to put...

Last night I came in for my closing shift and couldn't clock in because the time clock was gone. As in, not even on the wall anymore. Instead, there was an LCD screen with a bar code scanner. So then our ETL-HR came out of her office and told me she had to give me something, which turned...

No kidding. Hear about the guy that leaked the PRISM information? His background? Dropped out of high school. Enlisted in the military. Got kicked out of the military in basic training because he didn't have what it took. Enrolled in college. Dropped out of college. His next step? Got...

While this is true in many professions, there are still lots of jobs out there that pay as much as a degreed job or even more. Welders, plumbers, electricians, telecom workers, AC repair, mechanics, entry level IT workers, etc do not require a degree and can easily pay more than a degreed job...

Look, this is not politically correct so no one will say it, but I will. The fact is, not everyone has the level of intelligence necessary to get a college education. People don't want to hear that because it means some people will be left behind, and everyone wants to hear that "everyone is...

I think a lot of people are making the mistake of failing to realize that there are different *types* of intelligence. There is emotional intelligence, mechanical intelligence, book smarts, etc. Ever hear of a mechanical aptitude test? They usually give it to plumbers, electricians...

I ended up giving the resume to him after working on it for 4 hours. Complete waste of time. I gave it to him, he looked at it for about 10 seconds, then said "great. I will keep this on file". So I asked him if I would be getting interviewed for the TL spot. Then he patted me on the...

This morning I was approached by our STL who told me that one our of sales floor TLs (who he wouldn't name) is going to be gone soon. (I suspect it is going to be our electronics TL though based on rumors I heard....) He told me that he has been impressed with me and that I "run circles"...

My insurance at Sony had a zero dollar deductible.

Here are the mistakes you made: 1. Telling them you "might" be leaving before you knew 100% for sure you had the job. To many managers, this sounds like a threat. "I might be leaving for a new job, just wanted to let you know" In other words, it is an insinuation that they are doing...

Wow, that is really weird.... Normally when something breaks that upsets lots of guests (AC is one of those things) it is fixed with 24 hours. Leadership at your store/district is really dropping the ball.

Dude, you are making the mistake of thinking that you actually "lack of sense of urgency". The fact is, if you are just hearing about this now, it is bull sh**. In other words, they just made something up to justify your review score. Fact is, the reviews are really just for show. I used...

Target does layoff, just not hourly store employees.

This is so random, what are you talking about? Not as many people are paying money for a worthless degree as you seem to think. Yea, the media is making a big deal about it.... but seriously, take a look around. How many people do you know who are in college? (or anything beyond cheap...

So this morning I was setting planograms (no, not end caps, actual freaking aisles) with another TM for half the day. This guy was hired by Target right after he lost his job when his previous employer went out of business.... his previous employer was circuit city. He had worked for them 5...

Actually, in most states, no they can't. There is no federal law that requires breaks and most states do not have laws that require them. Management only gets in trouble because they are violating company policy, not law.

So isn't this just proving what I originally said? The vast majority of the time, all making a hotline call does is risk your job/reputation in the store if someone finds out it was you.... even for a legit issue such as the one you mentioned. The problem is, people are essentially trying to...

Sorry, you're wrong. You made the mistake of forgetting I was just rehired, and therefore have my own handbook. You are quoting it out of context and you damn well know it. You also know that TM relations phone number in the book is a *different* number than integrity, and it clearly says the...
