TLs can definitely fire tms, but not without going through the CCA process, and partnering with the ETL-HR. They cannot just fire on the spot though. But neither can anyone else in the building.

From a sales standpoint it is not big deal. Or at least not in most markets. From a PR standpoint, I think Target had to make the change. This does not mean I agree or disagree with the decision, but if everyone else is jumping ship, Target cannot afford the bad press. Sales are really bad...

This is a bit of a tricky question. Some of the answer depends on state laws. As far as Target is concerned, it is normal practice to speak with the tm first. They are able to cut shifts, but shoud be giving you some form of notice of the change. If you were not informend and you showed up...

I haven't heard anything. It might a more localized thing, or maybe a pilot of some sort. Most significant changes like this happen at the beginning of the year and not into the 2nd quarter.

Of course the STL should know.how to do a return. It is possible that they get rusty if they are not up.there all the time, but they should have a basic knowledge. Just keep in mind that the STLs role is not to be an expert at all of the tm jobs. I am.certainly not. The role is to hire great...

Yes. You will still get a raise. Your promtion is an independent event from the annual review process.

Agreed. It stinks when leaders get so much pressure that they make bad decisions. I will admit that I even considered this once, but it just didn't seem right when I considered the ramifications for the team. The best thing to do is just fix the culture and fix it the right way.

9 registers are down....ahhhhh!!! That is a major issue. Where is your ETL-GE in all this? Where is the DFM? Where is the STL? No way should there ever be that many registers are broken.

Thanks...this made me laugh out loud!!!

Is your store doing huddles for the cashiers? If not, this would be good for two reasons...first, all tms are supposed to attend huddle. Second, it give you a chance to train and inform without guests. I would be lying if I said my store is great at this, but when we succeed with these...

It will probably be different for each market. I didn't see anything on workbench today, so I would guess Friday.

First, I would say just keeping on pushing the way that you are. At some point the hard work should pay off and the culture at your store will change. That being said, I would look at a few things: 1) Are all of the GSAs performing equally? In other words, does one drive and get a bunch of...

Btw, didn't mean to ruffle your feathers Abe. Just speaking from experience. Definitely didn't mean to imply you didn't know what you were talking about.

You can advance from anywhere. I was a GSTL when I was promoted, I have promoted a few Logistics/Backroom TLs, and had Flow TL promote recently too. Another nearby store promoted a SLTL and there is another working on promoting a CTL and a Presentation TL. SrTL is probably the obvious spot...

I guess we will agree to disagree on this one. As far as keeping Target in a positive light...just trying to keep it real.

I agree with commie on this for sure. You will have plenty of time to interact with guests and to drive this with your team. You will also be rotating weekends, which should basically be all about the guest interaction. It can be a cool job to show your ability to lead a decent-sized team...

I would agree that external TL typically get a hire rate than internal promotes. Target has tried to "fix" this by telling STLs that there is a range to start TLs, which is about t $11 (depending on the market) whether they are experienced or not. However, in reality I will not get people to...

I am absolutely concerned about the huge exodus of experienced talent and the continuous influx of very young, inexperience talent. I think it is going to catch up the company pretty quicky, and I think many groups are seeing this issue now. I guess my point was more along the lines that there...

Hmmm...very interesting. You just reminded of a program that will rolling out in some Targets later this year. Target is looking to create a process for guests to make an online purchase and then pick up the item at the store. I wonder if AnnT's store is going to be a pilot store. Might end...

It is the intial rack alignment each morning, keeping them aligned through the day, or something else? If it is in the morning from the cleaning crew vacuuming, then I would suggest just making sure it is the first thing the brand attendants or TL do when they walk in. Regardless of the...
