The best advice is to start looking for a new job. If you don't like Target now, you're never gonna like it. Promotions at Target are an endless stream of dangling a carrot on a stick. Coming in as a team member already means your long term prospects are pretty much limited to Sr. team lead. It...

Technically any documentation made along the way of the corrective action process can be a "legal document" (right on down to documented verbal coatings) as it could be used as evidence in an unemployment hearing. Hell, as a team member I've documented my own side of situations on the off chance...

The sad thing is I still have co-workers who will argue endlessly that Target is still a better place to work than Walmart. In what possible way? Walmart has quarterly bonus checks for all employees, Walmart doesn't put insurmountable roadblocks in the way of promoting beyond supervisor/team...

Want your mind blown? Walmart gives quarterly bonus checks to every employee, from the ground up in a store based on their store's performance... Sure, it's only a few hundred dollars but that's more than we get at Target.

They likely did the internship program, that's the biggest "loophole" to get past the TL/ETL glass ceiling.

The "bench" is a joke, take the new store and don't ever let anyone at Targrt carrot on the stick you. The bench is a joke because they make you interview to get on it and yet I've seen people have to interview again to actually get the position, that's if you don't sit there for years on end.

Costco department managers start around $60,000 which is about $20k more than a starting Target ETL. It goes up to $65k after about a year if you're doing alright.

Realistically though, you were still half right. Golden parachutes still don't make good business sense. People will justify it as "oh well it's cheaper than litigation from a wrongful termination suit" but at the end of the day it's just pure and simple cronyism.

It happens all the time actually, they're called golden parachutes for CEOs and other top level executives will have similar packages.

The specific instance of the other couples were TL/Sr. TL though which is (LOD shift, aside) more or less a relationship between peers. An ETL and team member though is entirely different. The biggest issue, as I mentioned previously, would be the ETL contribution meetings. Contribution...

You know, I failed to mention it in my original post but the other source of my hostility is that this person is an ETL, effectively one of the top decision makers in a multi-million dollar business. This is who Target management prefers to handle their daily business decisions over TLs and...

New ETLs are just adorable. You're kidding yourself if your STL or ETL-HR would even think of signing off on this. Even if you were to work different shifts there's still contribution meetings which would make you privy to and have input on his performance. Not to mention the fact that its...

I dunno about that, I saw plenty of newly graduate (once again, myself included) get the ETL-string-along. There's just no denying the numbers though, its either 80 or 90% of ETLs are external college grads. They're treating an effectively management position as entry level and its baffling...

It's not just that you have to have a degree to promote because there's plenty of team leads that have degrees (I was one of them and I knew of plenty in the same situation). It's that Target has effectively installed a glass ceiling between team lead and ETL whereby ETL is an entry level...

Haha, they're making STLs the new ETLs. "Right outta college? How'd you like to work for a fresh, hip company that's all about energy? No experience huh? Not a problem, how'd you like to run a $50 million business?"
