Remember that ETLs are not there to do the work. Yes, they are expected to do some "work" as you put it, but a majority of their time is supposed to be spent "leading." It takes time to look over transitions and come up with action plans. To forecast merchandise movement and develop action...

Store Directors never get fired. They leave to pursue new opportunities.

It is a percentage of pay, and that percentage can be affected by store leadership/district leadership. Not a fixed amount.

On the flip side...say no enough and they will stop offering this to you. Fact.

I took a week vacation once while an ETL. I lined up everything needing done prior to departure. I got an ass-chewing when i came back as I did not respond to any calls/messages. Yes, I am salary. However, I WAS ON VACACTION. That was the start of my souring for Target.

It can also include paper products as well.

40 hours/week? Yea, go on believing that.

Just be advised - the course itself will NOT get you any certification. You must complete a project/process using their guidelines.....

It's called Lean Six Sigma. It has to do with business processes. I've seen it in action. I'd rather take a person with a solid history of that than a person without said documentation. I would prefer a solid record of performance.

Not that you are on vacation while on vacation. I got talked to constantly during vacation time as I was not "checking in" with the other staff during my time away. I told them to shove it (in a more polite way) as when I'm vacation the last thing I want to think about is work. It was just...

Yes, it has been several years, but when I was an ETL it was an automatic Final if you were caught giving store keys to ANYBODY - including TLs, or even other ETLs.

As an ETL my STL was constantly on my ass regarding sporting goods being in horrible shape - and he was right. The only way it was fixable to tear it down to the ground, then zone it to POG and backstock all the stuff that was out of place and had no space on the shelf. We would do three...

Pretty much. I don't remember the total number. Remember this was almost 10 years ago. Things have changed a LOT.

We didn't have room. It was several years ago, and things have probably changed, but we had 4 ETL-HLs, 1 ETL-SL, 1 ETL-GE, 1 ETL-Log, 2 ETL-Replenishment (1 day, 1 night), 1 ETL-HR, 1 ETL-Ops, and 1 ETL-Sr. Merch. Sr Merch, HR and STL all had their own offices. The rest of us were crammed in...

^^THIS^^ I had on "office." It was a desk in a room with a bunch of other desks. It was a place to throw my coat in the winter, and write in my communication book to pass/get information to/from my Team Leaders. If I was in there for 15 minutes during a 10 to 12 hour shift, I was lucky.

The part of the 1st amendment you are referencing reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Nowhere does this say that an employer MUST give you time off of what they consider your "regular" schedule to practice your...

I've been internally debating about a reply to this. I say: tread carefully. Yes, it sounds very tempting to go after a big company on the grounds you are stating. However, what proof do you have that this was said to you? Did you record said conversation? If you did, it is highly unlikely...

That depends entirely on your location and your STL. Within five months I already had the Sr. Merch and STL trying to force me out. However, I would not drink the cool-aid and continually questioned how they wanted things done, which were often not best practice. I still vividly remember when...

8-6? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! We worked three shifts: 6 - 4 for opening, 10 - 8 for mids, and 3:30 - 1am (or later) for closing. Of course we seldom got to get out right at the end of the shift. 11+ hours/day were common, and we were on our feet almost the entire time. I had a desk, but it...

Been there. Done that. Seen it done by others. Usually a waste of time. In my experience, once they start down the CA path for an ETL, they want you out.
