I wouldn't be surprised if there is pretty high retention actually. If you're past 90 days it's actually fucking hard to get fired if you're just lazy / you suck. All the turnover is quitting. So if you have stores with seasoned employees, they have to hire less

If they really want to stick to HR they can shift to a small format store, most don't have ETLs so someone has to be in charge of HR.

If they don't give me a three this year I'm turning it into a long conversation about a lot of things. There's no reason any team lead who didn't take any sort of LOA during this whole fucking year is not a three lmao

Is this information 'publicly' available, in Target sense? Like is there somewhere TLs can so happen to "stumble" upon the fact that this bonus is a thing so if they had so wanted to, could do some digging :)

To be honest, besides the TL training I got when I was promoted, I've absolutely just been winging it. I think most people do that until they figure out what works best for their team and their store lol.

Say no to vendors. Please, just say no. Order only to planogram and accept certain displays around major holidays or if it's like one of your top 5 sellers. Don't say yes to something that's going to sit in your back room forever. Figure out your FDC schedule. Do you get everything everyday, or...

Not "easy" when your small format comps 40% (before covid) overall sales of your store and you have p fresh, frozen, dry, and liquor all at your store. Certainly doable however. Foods all about fill, fill, audit, fill. Nothing is worse than your freezer being empty because nobody's audited it...

The most stressful thing is when your version of how you're performing is different than your SD / ETLs. Doesn't even need to be that you're being coached out. For example I personally feel like I'm absolutely kicking ass in this Market role I'm in, the workcenter has improved at least 2x since...

I wouldn't advise straight out that you stay away from Target - it's not at all a bad place for employment and with all the doom saying that goes on in this board, like everything, there's benefits and disadvantages. The Salary based pay is actually quite competitive in metro based areas, the...

I feel like Small format TL is the best role to pursue if you're wanting to be an ETL for the company, provided you also have some experience at the regular stores.

Legally, Anyone can be fired on the spot for any reason at Target. (Except for obvious disability laws). In reality though they make us jump through like, 3 or 4 hoops to be able to fire someone.

First off, expect that you need to personally jump in. They don't want us to but there's absolutely no way TMs can get all their workload done in the hours they are giving them. However only jump in a reasonable amount. Expect them to finish truck and one for ones but chances are price change...

It's a bad idea to go anywhere with anyone who loves to record anything and everything.

I don't know much about the specifics of PP1, but it took you 8 years working with Target to be promoted to TL? That's some dedication, don't think I would have done that myself. Hope you end up successful in the role and good luck!

We're being heavily pressured to "make it right for the guest" in all instances possible. If somebody is complaining about something in the store, rather than fight them on it, apologize and accommodate them as best as possible. After all, how can families discover the joy of everyday life if...

Lmfao that person said that in 2015 and here we are 4+ years later with threads popping up on this topic left and right still.

I don't know your specific circumstances, but I had this exact complaint brought up to me once and I just wanted to share my point of view. Sorry if it doesn't apply! You must have some co-workers that literally just start walking around if they aren't given direction, right? To circumvent that...

Yeah I wouldn't know about this because my store is weird with this. There's two-three key carrier TL's at my store who never and probably will never close. There's only one that's actually on the weekend rotation. Now this might change if they require it but I'm pretty sure the previous Senior...

I mean they'll probably try and accommodate you as best they can during some weeks but you have a team to run, and they're going to need you the most in Q4. I'm surprised you were getting away with 32 hours.

Well you have the right attitude, and sticking with that is half the battle. You'll feel a little discouraged at some points when it may feel like it's going nowhere. The other half is owning and leading your area. Aside from making sure you complete your push for the day, take time to know...
