It's not just pda's in our store... three tier carts and handbaskets are in short supply. When Steritech walks in everyone scrambles to get product out of shopping carts in the backroom. Once daily (at least) guests will ask for handbaskets that no longer exist. Don't get me started on the...

Our entire freezer/dairy team was sent home early because none of the pda's scanned and the mydevice batteries were drained. Fourth quarter will be painful.

Sounds like exploit to the nth degree. Most people complain that they do TL duties without pay, but you're skipping some slots on the totem pole here. I hope something serious comes out of it for you and they aren't jerking you around.

We're already placing bets on how soon this person will be on backup at the checklanes.

The only TL position I have firm info on is a SuperTarget produce TL... $13 to start, no negotiation.

I hate to be the negative one here, but ASANTS... our Food Avenue is a black hole for TL's. The only way out of there is to quit or get fired. We are a high volume store though; many lower volumes are combining FATL and GSTL positions.

TLs hours are guaranteed but not salaried. ETL's are salaried. In my experience, getting promoted from within is a lot harder (and slower) than say, quitting and getting rehired at a higher rank. My store leaders don't care about degrees; many team members have degrees but the turnover in...

Hopefully your leadership knows what a lackluster employee he truly is. We have one of those that expressed desires of being promoted from the very first day he joined us... but he is the laziest bass turd in the pile and the higher ups haven't been fooled. Nonetheless our leadership has the...

Don't worry, this happens at high volume stores too. Expects More, Pays Less!

I also work in a super target, food side. It's a specialty area, so it's common to see team members promote to team leaders and stay within the department. As far as your team member's attitude, you need to mention it to a superior. It's possible he may become violent if pushed too far and...

If I was given a nickel for every carrot Target hands out...

^^ Truth.

I've been in three different departments with too many TL's and ETL's to count... all with different styles. Let's face it, though. It doesn't really matter what your team thinks of you, it's what your management thinks of you. You can be the most honest, hardworking and liked team lead in...

I've found over the past two years that the only team members that get promoted are the ones underneath the ETL who has her nose furthest up the STL's ass. The rest of us have been dangling for months, sometimes years. Just sayin'.

What if this guy is scheduled alone? Wouldn't his team lead get reamed for not training him to be a team player?

It shouldn't take long for this guy to get out, then.

Once you're hired, it's all about who's ass you kiss and who likes it. If it's the STL you're in luck. Other than that, there have been many threads about this topic and it seems the majority of people believe you are better off quitting and getting rehired at a higher pay grade. Sad, but true.

Team member has been employed by Target for seven years so performing as a cashier is a non issue. He blatantly refuses to do it. How do you respond?

I suppose I should expand on the poorly performing team member I'm talking about; after all that could cover many different aspects. But the one I have in mind has zero attention to detail and no sort of self motivation. Said team member is great if they are micro managed into the ground. But...

Does it happen? Can poorly performing team members who got hired on as, say, N05 get downgraded to No3? Is it possible for backroom team members to get placed as cashiers permanently, as an example? I've never seen it happen at my store; in fact, the management seems to twist themselves into...
