Didn't you say in a previous post that you were annoyed with how leadership was treating you and that you were making scratchy noises on the walkie because of your leadership's treatment? Is that working the right way? I also thought that you were planning to quit Target in the near future so...

Yes, but like another poster mentioned in another of OP's threads, it's addicting and I can't help but keep coming back to these threads. I wish I could stop.

Well, he has mentioned that in previous threads so I know he's interested in dating/partying with someone at his store. However, he always mentions that he is worried about how those things will affect his chances of becoming a leader so I thought I should still address that. At this point...

@CartoonPenguin Have you tried to speak directly with someone in leadership about your chances of being promoted? The odds that anyone on this message board work at your store are infinitely small, thus they wouldn't know what your ETLs look for when promoting someone or any specifics about the...

Going back to your last thread, you said that a team leader was fired/terminated for not being fair and unbiased. Do you REALLY think that this is unbiased and worthy of becoming a leader?

Didn't you say in your previous thread "We're all going to be fine"?

What about trying to directly ask the ETL with whom you had the conversation if you still have a chance to be promoted? Several posters have suggested that you speak directly to leadership at your store but then something like this happens and things seem to go sideways. At this point, that...

@CartoonPenguin I'm still waiting for a response about how you would feel if someone else called you a weirdo or a porky pig look-alike.

In another thread, you mentioned that you thought it was unfair that a 19-year old team member was promoted instead of you and you said that it would be difficult to get along with that newly promoted leader. Do you honestly think that your reaction to that was fair and unbiased?

I know that this will probably be in one ear and out the other but if you're still concerned about trying to be promoted, why would Target want a leader who makes those kinds of comments about someone else? If the situation were reversed and someone else made a comment like that about you, how...

If a leader at your store was fired for hanging out/partying, doesn't it stand to reason that any team member is taking a risk of meeting the same fate? In one breath, you say everyone is going to be fine and in another, you said the above. Look, I had some embarrassing, frustrating moments...

Forget Target, this kind of behavior/attitude is unacceptable in any workplace environment, or even a school setting. I wouldn't worry about not being able to go to the parties you've previously attended because based on what you've posted, no store's leadership would ever promote you to being a...

I'm not saying that OP hasn't taken the advice being given to them but I can relate to their frustration with feeling like certain team members aren't pulling their weight. There was a GSTL at my old store that almost everyone disliked because she usually hid in her office and only came out to...

This was absolutely the case at my old store. I remember from early 2018 until August of 2019, there was a really friendly ETL-SE who was easy to talk to and morale was high as a result. Unfortunately, he's been replaced twice, and morale has steadily gone down, especially after the most recent...

Are you sure that you are in this for the right reasons? It seems like you want to become a TL only for the exclusivity of being in meetings and you're not thinking about the stress and how demanding the work can be.

Sounds about right to me. Unfortunately, I was involved in an incident worthy of gossip or chatter amongst other team members before I was terminated, leaving me feeling regretful and embarrassed. A few team members at my store heard about the incident and asked me about what happened, which...

Thanks for responding, I felt a little frustrated so I felt that I needed to rant. Luckily, Target wasn't petty at all and they didn't fight my unemployment claim at all. Instead, my ETL-HR encouraged me to file for unemployment, probably because she asked me if I had another job lined up, and I...

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I totally wish that I did this when I resigned. Instead, I was terminated by my ETL-HR and ETL-SE in a closed-door meeting, which has left me feeling bitter towards them since I felt cornered during said meeting. In the end, I was probably deemed unrehireable...

I totally agree with your approach and I think this is great advice for team leads. With regards to privacy, I vividly remember our ETL-HR absolutely reaming a team member for hitting compliance and she was screaming about how it was unacceptable in front of guests and other team members. That...

At my store, it seems like there are 4-5 days a week that we aren't making sales, and usually by $1,000 or so. I'm extremely worried about our store and wondering if our sales goals are too high or if modernization is driving away guests.
