Sounds about right. ETLs get the big bags of money, TLs are left holding the bag…🙁

Hopefully your SD will do something. If I was your SD and a TL wouldn’t write up a TM because they were friends, I’d be writing up a TL and moving a TM. I really like allnew2’s plan. CYA, always. In my opinion, the TM should be written up for insubordination. That’s what would have happened at...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the cold, hard fact is that you probably aren't going to get that promotion as long as that ETL is your boss. Whether you aren’t ready as she says or you are too valuable for her to lose in the position you are in or whatever, she does have the power to...

Mine, too, and I suspect it’s that way at most, if not all Target stores. Even if they do through some miracle communicate anything it comes out in Target-speak so the team members who are new to the cult don’t know what they’re talking about anyway.🙄

We are all replaceable in the sense that Target can kick any of us to the curb and have another sucker person take over the position in a matter of minutes, if not seconds, especially if someone’s pet is the ”lucky“ recipient. Whether or not that replacement can do the job to the standard that a...

A perfect example of Target’s 11th Commandment: ”Thou shalt not get caught”…

Same at my store. I guess they get away with it because they are the ETL’s pets. Either that, or the ETL’s are afraid to tangle with them. 🙄

Let the firing begin, starting with the one who brought theirs out from receiving…

At my store it was the ETL-LOG, and I don’t think that particular individual forgot to tell anyone. Just didn’t care how much chaos they caused as long as they looked good and someone else got the blame. Sometimes I think dumping on other leaders was just a bonus for them. Yes, that could very...

Go to Amazon. And if Spot offers you a TL position, run like the wind!

Intermittent loa or FMLA seems worth considering for a better long-term outcome than stepping down, since stepping down would be a big financial hit, and, at least in my area, retaliation does seem to happen, because senior management seem to consider stepping down as a slap in the face to them...

Could be ASANTS, but at my store OPU is part of fulfillment.

I would say be the kind of SD that you wish your SD would be. We had a great one, fair, honest, genuine, and who backed up the team members and kept the ETLs in line. He actually cared about the team and had a lot of free food events, sometimes he grilled hot dogs and hamburgers himself. He also...

Well, that’s a bummer. Been there, done that. Sorry I wasn’t very clear but what I should have said was that you might have a better chance of getting an answer if you went to the store and spoke to an ETL or the SD on the sales floor, if you can find one of them out there in a non-stressful...

Calling might be an interruption or an annoyance, and actually getting someone on the phone can be difficult in some stores, but if you have a good working relationship with an ETL you might casually ask them if any progress has been made on filling those positions, or you could bite the bullet...

Of course! Let his cash register ring!😂

This is a prime example of corporate leadership having no clue about how the members of their workforce live. At least he didn’t say “Let them eat cake”…

Our leaders always used an earphone with the walkie when we had visitors, so the visitors couldn’t overhear what was going on over the walkie. If any emergency arose, whoever was LOD at the time just faded away from the walk and took care of it. Of course, a nearby TM with a loud walkie or an...

Since they got rid of the Backroom TL position, I’d say none. Backroom TL had a lot of responsibility, but it was was a great job most of the time since you didn’t have to deal with guests and as long as metrics were green the ETLs mostly left you alone. Then the ETL from hell arrived and added...
