Out of curiousity - has anyone here ever had a friend who became an ETL? I don't mean you made a friend of an ETL you met at work. I mean a friend from outside of Target who later became an ETL at Target.
One of my closest friends (known each other for years) became an ETL about three months ago.
She has become a completly different person. It started right after she got hired. She told me she wanted to buy super nice clothes so no one would mistake her for a TM. At first I thought that was logical, but later discovered it was the begining of a huge power trip.
A few days ago we were at a bar and she was talking about work. I started telling her my experiences with what we were talking about and she said "You shouldn't tell me anything about Target. You were just a team leader, you wouldn't have had access to everything I do". I was thinking WTF? I just changed the subject to something else.
But god damn.... I don't even work at Target anymore, and she is telling me not to talk to her about Target like I still work there and she is better than me because I was a TL? lol
In all the years I have known her, she has never ever been like this before. It makes me wonder what the hell Target does to new ETLs. It is like when we are walking down the street she has this attitude that she is "over" everyone else. Everyone she talks to now, it is like she words her sentences as commands to them. I want to say to her "GET A GRIP. YOU ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF YOUR TARGET STORE"
It's a really depressing though. I am not the only one noticing this, BTW. Even her boyfriend has told me her power trip has been annoying him.
I feel really bad for her TMs. She must be putting them through hell.
