ASANTS, I went from a TM to TL without a transfer, even though I have heard that promotions/demotions usually require a move. It may depend on the needs of the store or decision of the STL. Over the years I have seen most moves/changes happen in the early spring around review time. Modernization rumors include many leadership Changes/restructuring of rolls happening in Feb 2019. I agree with other posters that have basically said don’t fix what ain’t broke - unfortunately for you, if you’re doing great as is, it behooves everyone to leave it that way. If things don’t change by February for you, they probably never will. I’m wondering if you have been passed over for open positions or have there just been no openings for you ? There is a TL head count, which tends to change each Feb/March.
