I have a degree in sociology. When I was an STL I had a team leader with no college classes or degree but was amazing at his job. I fought long and hard because I knew he would be a great ETL. It paid off because he’s been a kick ass ETL ever since. Not sure he would ever be promoted to STL- but...

4 of my stores from before I left are on this list. So glad to not have to deal with this!

This is correct. My new company gives one MONTH for every year! So amazing.

The first group and district I worked in had a designated district office that was not in a store. Was in an actual office building. They shut it down when they did some realigning and moved it to another state in the group. This was about 3-4 years ago so it might be in a store now. My last...

This! You can win awards, get taken on the corporate jet, get one of the highest scores on your review, and 4-6 months later all of a sudden a new boss comes and you don’t know how to do your job, the position just isn’t meant for you, and so many other things I was told that I can’t repeat...

I’m assuming she’s in MN. If her HR Director is a certain someone, gooooood luck to her. I obviously won’t say names, but there’s one HR Director that makes it almost impossible to get to headquarters. She’s the worst. Have your spouse apply anyways! Good luck!

It’s all about politics. Yes, you have to work hard (sometimes)to promote, but I can’t even tell you how many people I have seen be promoted that shouldn’t have been just because they were well liked. I also have seen so many people Be “pushed out” or on the bench for months even years just...

Ah makes sense. I negotiated my way out too and couldn’t give any notice. It was immediate. I was so pissed that I couldn’t wrap things up or say bye. I guess it depends on your boss. Sorry your store is in a sucky situation for Black Friday.

Oh yes, Target relocated me 2 times. You have to be with the company for 18months before you quit or you have to pay them a ton of money. You can be fired whenever though. If it was close to her 18 months she still very well might have gotten a package. If it was only a year she definitely got...

This! First- on the STLs “quitting” before they get fired, I guarantee you they received a package. Second- in my last position I started off with a boss who I absolutely loved working with. She was supportive, helpful, honest but nice, encouraging. She was a GREAT leader, however I’m...

True about the STL bonuses- sometimes higher

This! Although I've seen plenty of people "performanced out" who shouldn't be. It's really a shame. The politics in this company are just mind boggling. The stories I could share... My wife and I were just laughing about how I was "performanced out" because my boss wanted to replace me with a...

I worked for the company for about 10 years. Three different states all in R100. I "left" the company almost a year ago, and I starting thinking how hilarious it would be when my awful HR director would be the one out of a job and I would be in this amazing role for this amazing company making...

So painful. Good thing I sold my stock last night. I had a bad bad feeling about today. After 11 years I officially have zero ties to Target now that I don't have stock in the company. That was the last tie. Feels so freeing yet sad at the same time (ehh well not that sad who am I kidding?)

Couldn't agree with this more!! I was soft lines and then HR before becoming an STL and being promoted to my most recent position after that. When I "left" target, I had recruiters and companies reaching out to me left and right not because of my softlines or STL experience, but because of all...

Oh, you're wrong! Respect doesn't mean anything if things aren't constantly green. You can have the respect from your DTL your group VP, your HRVP and get stock bonuses and raises etc, but if ONE person aka your boss is the only one that doesn't like you or just simply wants to bring in a friend...

I was in the 09 Portland storm and had to abandon my car off of I5 on my way home from work. Yes I was one of "those " people. I ironically was in Minneapolis for something during the major 2014 storm- but took my wife 7 hours to drive home from her 35 min commute, my store didn't shut down for...

I like to think I worked my ass off to earn those 6 figures!!!! Just ask my wife....

I helped push carts when I was an STL- is it weird I enjoyed it?

100% agree. You really couldn't have said it better. I had some major goals with the company and definitely had a "final position" I was working towards. After my shit show of an experience these past 18 months (well 10 months actually since that's when awful boss started) I have regretted not...
