The quality of leadership -- i.e., leadership engagement with team members, follow-through, and being actively engaged with anything that's happening in the store each day -- seems to be declining at my store, and fast.
Is this common with Target? (I've been with the company now for about 1.5 years.)
I came across this today

Absolutely none of this applies to any manager I've ever worked with at Target.
I have, and am, thinking about looking elsewhere for a job, but holding out for the moment, mainly because I didn't want to "fail," so to speak. I set an objective for myself when I came to work with the company -- to learn the company and its processes well enough to reach the level of TL. The SrTL and ETL who supervise me and my team don't provide any feedback and seem altogether uninterested in team members' professional growth. In fact, storewide, they have cut our hours so severely that we generally have one person in SL and one in HL during the day, and we are a SuperTarget. (I do not count our team leads, as when they actually do show up, as opposed to calling out, they rarely do anything resembling work.) Our specialty teams are not completing their work on time, partly as a result of assisting with guest calls and calls for backup. We get slammed with sales one day, and berated the following (in the huddle) for how lousy the store looks (the phrase our STL used was "it's an embarrassment," which is an accurate, but misplaced, criticism.) Employee morale is in the toilet.
Is this really all the "best company ever" has to offer?
