Archived Discrimination???

[RunForACallBox]

There's not a "bonus" if they don't terminate someone but we do have a turnover goal (which includes people quitting as well) that each store is suppose to meet and that does go into your stores AE goal which is what raises are based off of for TL's and ETL's. We ruined our turnover in the first two months at my store.

Our store is probably ruined, too. ETL walked out, termed two GSTLs, termed Target Cafe TM, termed only instock TM, flow TM walked out. I think that may be it... ha

Thank you everyone for your advice! My transfer has been approved and to be honest I welcome the change. I will be contacting the hotline after I have left the store.

I would suggest you keep a journal and document every interaction you have had with these people and who is around as witnesses. after some time passes like a few months at most go back and look to see if there is a pattern, if there is call the hotline with it.

I am at no means a law expert. I believe discrimination is hard to prove when it does not involve a protected class (race/sex/religion/orientation).

It is typical for leadership to sweep things under the rug. First and foremost they don't want to deal with it and its paper work. So basically they pass it off by saying you two will have to work it out.

I would first document all matters that you were directly involved. Never report someone elses accounts, or your feelings, guesses, or rumors you heard. Keep it factual. Gather witnesses.

The Hotline is a good way to report serious workplace matters. But it can also be used to bite you in the ass when it involves leadership.

Being a medical issue it may fall more under workplace bullying. At first all they can do is confront the TM about what he is doing. If it continues, I suggest you request workplace mediation with the your STL, area ETL, and ETL-HR on the matters. This is a open discussion that will allow you to vent your grievances. I am not sure of Target's policies on it, but it may be documented. So if the TM still continues after this, your store leadership can move better on disciplining the offending TM.
