My store was one of the stores that phased out Target Tech back in August, and simply merged that position with Electronics, creating Electronics Plus Mobile. As an Electronics TM, I was given the choice of either sucking it up and doing the extra 40+ hours of training, or switching to cashiering while keeping my pay.
The clincher: albeit having to do 40+ hours of training and 200% workload, and no double coverage in Electronics, my fellow Electronics TMs and I have not received any pay increase.
The STL and ETLs are greedy, and do their jobs very poorly. I've witnessed 90% turnover in management in my 2.5 years here, and our Electronics department takes a *lot* of blame for other people (price accuracy, presentation, BDS, etc.) not doing their jobs. Getting mediocre reviews with a tiny raise before the pay bump erased it has me feeling pretty bitter towards this company.
I'm not the best with this kind of stuff, but how can I convince my ETLs/STL who don't appreciate our hard work to give us Electronics Plus Mobile TMs the raise we deserve?
