So this is a funny situation. I am a normal sales floor/electronics team member and got an O on my review last year, after getting EX's. It surprised me cause I didn't think they gave those out. This year I again got an O, yet my merit increase said EX on it. I was confused so I asked my HR and he said he'd look into it.
Today my SeniorTL that gave me the O pulled me aside and said he actually wasn't supposed to give me an O. The HR guy said an O is only given to those that are in the leadership training program or something worded like that, pretty much meaning for those that work like a TL and are striving for a leadership position. I'm going to school and I'm sure it's obvious that I am not making Target a career since I haven't reached out to become a TL or anything of that nature despite my qualifications.
STILL, I thought that was a stupid excuse to not give out O's. Hell, I got one last year from my same TL (except different HR). I don't even care about the raise difference, I just wanted that O... I didn't want to downgrade despite my feeling that my performance upgraded. Oh well. I was wondering for you all, is this "excuse" the same reason in all stores why they hardly give out Os?
