Since Christmas our ETL-HR has not been seen, our ETL-GM has gone on LOA (and we have a Fill-In), SD is on "Vacation"... this morning I received on internal e-mail from the SD asking me for my personal phone number to discuss a situation that happened late last year. I have not responded as this...

I say this with the upmost respect to the CEO, executive team, board of directors, investors and the hometown. I am not surprised at Targets Second quarter earnings, nor am I surprised as to the current trading price of TGT on the NYSE based on how they don’t value and respect the voices of...

Over the weekend, the Store Director “decided to leave the company.” Nobody knows why and all the ETLs were sent home that day. The store has a ETLs from neighboring stores covering on Saturday. The store leadership and process was bad but I don’t think a fireable reason. What reason, other than...

Hey are all Targets like this? Current new in role team leader here for Beaumont TX area. My HR sites in her office 98% of the time with the Style ETL. The only time we see them is during a visit and no one feels safe talking to them because they share confidential information all the time...

What are some of your guys's pet peeves when it comes to management/hr? I'll throw some of mine out there. It will probably come off as some sort of incoherent rambling, but oh well. I'm not going to throwing all of management under the bus either, but mostly. There has been a few decent...

How many SDs does your store have? I am curious to know if any store has more than one store director

I haven't talked to anyone from the old store who can confirm this is 100% true but, an old TM ran into me at my new job. Told me ALL the gossip. My old store manager had been sleeping with an ETL which resulted in him being transferred, and her either fired or she resigned. They were both...

For the last 4 months my store has promoted 6 tls to be etls, 2 etls to sd, and bring in outsider in as etl. And they also hired lot of new tls as well at least 4 so far. I wonder if this is happening at all target or something is going on at just my store. But we don't have lot or hiring new...

My store has a new SD after our last one quit without notice roughly a month ago. Me and this new SD actually have a good relationship. We quickly formed a solid camaraderie and he ended up being the one to give me that final push into being promoted to a GMTL. This promotion was something that...

My store director is now a style ETL can anyone explain to me how does this happen or can a store director do both titles. Thanks

My store Director hardly ever acknowledges team members. He barely speaks to anyone and if you approach him, he's too busy to engage. Is this normal?

For over 4 months now I have been dealing with discriminatory and harassing behavior from the leaders at my workcenter. I've reported these behaviors to multiple leaders with no change. I've contacted the Ethics Hotline and been told the situation had been "handled", even though the behavior has...

What are LOD responsibilities?

I need a second opinion because I feel like this is targeted harassment from my TL. I suffer from medical conditions and my TL has been using this as an excuse to “baby” me and give me write-ups. I’ve been with this company for 2 years and it feels like I’m being targeted because of my...

I've worked at Target for 10-plus years. I've seen a lot of good people come and go, also experienced many idiotic corporate Kool-Aid, practices, buzzwords, and so on, throughout the years. When I first started I can honestly say, that management as far as a big box store retailers goes, it was...

Has anyone gotten any information on the upcoming changes that are soon going to happen. Our SD was again on an 1.5hr confrence call but isn't allowed to disclose any of the operational changes yet. I hate being blindsided at the last minute.

So we have a new DSD and he is pushing hard for perfection throughout the store. For my team of course it is Productivity and INF. First it was they have to be picking 40 uph at least for OPU/SFS and 60 up for Grocery. Ok no problem this is totally doable. Now I am being told to write down...

How often does your ETL/SD call out your contributions? Do you feel you're a valued member of the team? An Asset or a Liability? Do you only get approached when things are bad or you need to address something in your business? What does a healthy relationship in leadership look like?

So I have been with target so far for 5 years, I’ve been pushing to move up in chain of command and all that I’m getting from my higher ups saying that I’m not ready and not being specific about anything. Even though I do everything I can to make sure everything is perfect and efficient in my...
