Hmm, makes me wonder if the TM who yelled at me a week or so before her last day at my store transferred to your store. I know she moved out of state and transferred to another Target, but no idea where. I'm so glad she's gone because we worked on different teams but in adjacent areas and she...

Which does no one, including Target itself, any favors. Accountability doesn't have mean dictatorship-by-ogre. In fact, it shouldn't if what's desired is a solid roster of quality TMs. About the only rules at my store that are consistently enforced are related to safety, and that's probably more...

Up until very recently, this has been the attitude at my store. We do have some TMs with legit issues (their own health or a seriously ill immediate family member) but a lot of it isn't. Conversations are taking place with problem TMs. And we're hiring some new TMs.

Well, the Style ETL is part of the problem, right? And your SD is as well, given that it's their responsibility for how the store's leadership team functions, so they've been part of the problem too. Doesn't mean your store will be getting better any time soon, but it could mean much-needed...

Your district leadership is visiting that frequently? Wow. Not sure what assistance they can provide during a visit, but it seems like they know things aren't good and might be working on figuring exactly what's going on. Considering how long it takes Target to terminate a regular TM, it...

It's happened twice at my store in the 10+ years I've been there. The sticky part is that you won't be allowed to stay at your same store in a reduced position, even if it's voluntary. But if you want to stay with Target, this is a way to do it. As far as I know, there were no hard feelings...

This. The other thing I would try to notice is if the TL plays favorites. If you're not one of the favorites, there are probably other TMs who aren't either, and receive the same treatment you do. Document, document, document: date & time, just the facts with no opinions.

Maybe think of it like writing a resume? "Accomplished these goals in this position in this time frame" type statements.

My store has an ETL who I think secretly loves demolishing sales planner display pieces. When I was struggling to take one apart enough to get it into the bailer, he told me he'd take care of it. (I've since learned that stomping on them is effective ... and fun.)

Be out on the sales floor and in the back room space often - they need to see what's going on in the store, interact with guests and TMs often. Don't play favorites - everyone hates it (except the favorites) and it does no one any real good (including the favorites). Back up your TMs - the guest...

Not being part of either of those work centers, I can't say what's going on. And it's not like GM is perfect - probably every area has its problems.

The team where the TMs consistently show up and do their jobs. My TL says GM is so easy because we practically never call off and most of us know what we're doing. Fulfillment is pretty consistent too. Style and Front End are always calling off and it shows by how Style is usually a mess and not...

My favorite bad example is from a while back - 18 minutes to push a flat bed of repack boxes filled with shoes. The flat was loaded so high, I could hardly reach the top boxes. It took me a lot longer than 18 minutes! I'm the DBO for OTC and personal care at my store. My leaders have actually...

I like that my TL trusts me to know my area well, to know how to do my job, to ask questions if I need to, to be able to organize my work load, and to pretty much just leave me to it. They check in with me, which is always nice - usually, it's just to make sure I'm doing okay. But if it's a day...

As much as possible, have all your u-boats and flat beds empty to start with. Sounds obvious, but it's so foundational that it shouldn't be assumed. Support your team with the little things - make sure the fans are turned on when it's hot, swap out full vehicles for them, have spill clean-up...

My store works it more like Jenna's. We rarely roll freight from the previous day's truck so all the vehicles are usually empty. The TL there for unload will generally be the one to swap out full vehicles. The only time the unload team will stop and push freight would be if there's a double...

Tolerate this and that TM, possibly others, will know they can walk all over you and get away with it. Doesn't mean you have to come down on the TM like a sack of hammers, but it does need to be addressed. That said, respect is earned. Yes, there's some that comes with the title but it still has...

We have a TM at my store who was a TL at a different store - pretty sure they don't regret the change at all. Happened to be talking about it the other day and family was needing more time, so it was the right thing for them to do. Two other TLs moved down to TM, one voluntarily and the other...

Why, oh why, are you so desirous of being rehired? You abandoned the job once, then did two NCNSs (for whatever reason), and you still want to work for Target? If I worked HR (and I have done for another industry), there's absolutely no way I'd hire you. That behavior does not in any way say...

One NCNS by a new TM is definitely not good. Two in a fairly short stretch? That'd be a giant red flag for me. If you really want to work retail, there are LOTS of stores other than Target.
