Just trying to play catch up on this topic. I tried using multiple quotes, but not sure how it's done. :/ I clicked on multiple quotes, but couldn't get them in my reply.
Someone mentioned they didn't know of any STLs that had retired. One of our former STLs just retired after 30+ years with the company. Don't know how many stores she had worked at. Started as a cashier to supplement her family income & moved up from there. I think this was before a college degree was required.
I mentioned to our HR about college degrees being required for TL positions & if it was happening. She was kind of at a loss for words. Maybe she knows something about it but doesn't want others to know. I honestly don't know how many of our current TLs have degrees.
StateofTarget, she originally said you would be demoted after fourth quarter, this is her way of keeping you as a TL until then. (Keeping you in the dark if your degree is sufficient.)
