Hi guys, I just want your opinion on something. So our ETL-SE who has been with target for over 8 years and has been at my store for a year( he was apart of last year’s modernization plan) just got fired ( I assume), all the ETL-HR told us is that he was no longer apart of the company. He was literally working that morning at GS, then they all went to eat breakfast and I never saw him again. He was my favorite ETL and he was a very hard worker a little goofy too but just an overall good person. We have two TLs up front also and the frontend team was good. So I don’t think it was a performance based termination. He was the type to follow all the rules and I possibly can’t imagine that he stole( not that you could ever be sure) but I’m dying to know what he could’ve have possibly done for the STL to let such a great ETL go. To be honest I’m quite sad and upset because the other ETL’s don’t really care for the front-end and I’m sure its going to be a mess without him.He always made sure to get the front end more hours and fix schedule problems ( he was tired of barely having any cashiers scheduled lol). The past few months I was feeling quite stressed over going to work but whenever I knew he would be there that gave me motivation cause I knew I would get all the help I would need.Right now I think I need to take a leave because of being too overwhelmed with not getting the backup I need at GS ( so many returns and driveups because of covid) or else I’ll explode. He always told me that he was glad to have me on his team and wanted me to become a TL ( I don’t want to). He appreciated me just as much as I did him and it hurts that I wasn’t even able to say bye, I probs won’t ever see him around again. I want to contact him just to say thank you for being a great boss and wish him the best. I don’t have his phone number but I found his facebook. Or should I just ask one the TLs upfront for his number ? (I know one of them is really sad too but idrk how the other one feels). Would it be weird if i sent him a message on fb? Is it too early? ( this happened 2 days ago). If someone finds out will I get in trouble?( not that I really care lol). Let me know what you think please!
