    Archived How much did I get paid on July 4 as a Team Leader?

    Keep in mind it is not always the full 8 hours holiday pay, but up to your average. At first I started getting paid for 7 hours then eventually went to the 8 when my average increased.

    Archived Who else was an internal who promoted?

    Took me 4 years. I went from Grocery -> Meat -> Electronics -> HL TL -> Electronics TL. From the start, I mentioned I would be interested in moving up. Within the year they started prepping me but it never went anywhere and ended up as a meat tm instead. I kept showing interest and wanting to...

    Archived What to expect from having a mentor?

    Take the best ETL there is in your store that drives and gets results. Learn from them, see how they achieve such goals, that I feel should be your mentor. You want to make sure you take away something good, not just from someone that does enough to get by.

    Archived A little help please?

    Our store keeps the blank templates on the computer. Counseling is corrective action. Coaching is just a teach and learn basically with documentation, such as leaving guest service a mess or something along those lines if the expectation is brand at all times.

    Bench advice

    They can prep you anytime and put you on the bench if there is no immediate opening. Talk to your ETL and TL. Express how you want to grow with the company and seek feedback on your performance. Whats good and what can be improved. See is they have anything you can start owning and such.

    Archived Logistical sftl

    Leading into the weekend, I dropped pogs for almost every aisle in my department to a need basis. Pulled them and pushed them along with my team (about 15 vehicles total) as I has found that the fill option is terrible and doesn't fill what needs to actually be filled. Work on decode as well...

    Archived Question??

    For me personally, they told me the same thing. Took me over a year for the "interview date" to come. Usually now that I am in the TL role and have to seek out who I am going to help develop into the pipeline it may vary if you are prepared enough or if they want to develop you more. In your...

    Archived No more LOD

    TLOD is something that they tried in the past, and it works nice, but then my store just gave up on it. On the new 10 day, TLs are getting assigned again for shifts. In the past, there still was an LOD, but the TLOD would do much of the responding as an LOD. In a sense, it helped the TLs get...

    Archived Team Lead Pay

    Based on the scale posted above, I am a pay grade N13, but am making more on to the N17 amount. When I was offered my pay increase of almost $5 I was dumb to not try and get more for what I could bring to the table. And as mentioned, your not guaranteed 40 hours but the lowest you'll have a...

    Archived Advice for becoming a TL

    I became a TL by telling my TLs and ETLs I wanted to move up. Took me a while but it all paid off, they started giving me little things to improve and such and with time I was holding people accountable. Staying at your own store gets a little weird at times if you are friends with people that...

    Archived TM --> TL

    Congrats, remember that if you are being sent to train as a TL make sure you get keyed as one the first day of training so you start making the TL pay. The hardest part will be delegating tasks to your team if you stay at your store, if you get sent to another store for the position then it'll...

    Archived Looking into leadership, any advice?

    I am an introvert as well and as far as empathy I can relate to my team on certain days, weather if they are just tired and need a coffee (i'll buy it) or if they just have outside issues they want to talk about. I agree with @commiecorvus about the chess thing, when I was an electronics TM I...
