Archived ETL vacation time question

[Excited0823]

Just curious once you've hit your 5 years with the company how much vacation do you get a year as an executive?

You have to survive 2 years at spot, first. Vacation for etl's, was changed this year. You need to use all comp time up first.

Too many weeks One of my ETL's is always on vacation. I think he takes 1 week every 5 weeks.

 

[Yetive]

Does Target have ETLs that have been there 5 years?

We have an ETL who has been with Target for 20 Years! He has a massive amount of vacation. Seems like he works 2 weeks/1 week off etc.

You just described my ETL-HR to a T. Sure makes dealing with HR-related things a pain in the ass when there's not a HR TM present.

Our ETL-HR is always MIA as well. Must be nice lol.

To keep it simple, I just lump together Vacation and Personal Hours. Under 5 years, an ETL will earn 3.5 Weeks. 5-14 Years, an ETL will earn just about 5 Weeks. 15+ Years an ETL will earn just about 6 Weeks!

Not that you are on vacation while on vacation. I got talked to constantly during vacation time as I was not "checking in" with the other staff during my time away. I told them to shove it (in a more polite way) as when I'm vacation the last thing I want to think about is work. It was just one more reason why I finally had enough and left.

They changed it before I left the company. It's 3 weeks (0-5), 4 weeks (5 -10), etc.

They did that to cover the fact that ETLs lose any newly accrued vacation time (January 2016 onward) when they leave/quit/fired, so no more cashing it out at the end.

3 weeks? How do y'all sleep at night knowing most of your employees are lucky if they can afford to take the week they get a year?

Because they're not paid to care.
If a peon wants more paid vay-cay, it's up to them to work as many hours/shifts they can pick up so they'll accumulate more time off.
Never mind that they'll probably be working 6-7 days a week in order to boost their avg & even then they might not be approved for the time they DO want to take off.
Work/Life balance is merely a suggestion.

I can't speak for any ETLs, but at my new job, I now get 4 weeks vacation a year. I am quite aware how unusual this is and how most people never get that much after a million years working at the same place, much less getting it right from the start. So I don't make much mention of it, and do my best to honor those around me who also work just as hard (if not harder) than me.

Then again, I stopped counting the number of hours I worked after I got to 50 last week and I only worked 4 hours on my "day off")...so in some ways, it evens itself out.
