What a joke, the way I'm seeing it is if they only want to pay 2-6% increase then they should only be expecting me to increase the effort I put forth by 2-6%. That's fast fun and friendly on a budget for ya.
Do you happen to know exactly what the merit percentages are this year?The scale they use for raises was nearly halved this year.
I got E's for all 3 of my reviews with spot. At my store, they started to give people automatic IEs if it was their first year using the excuse "they are new and definitely still learning" Also I do know of someone who got a U and their review was basically the ETL telling them why they were being fired.Do most people just get an E? If you got a U, wouldn't they just fire you?

Like my left wing friends like to say: "Minimum wage equals minimum work!"

If I remember right, for my first review (2011) it was:
O=6.5%
EX=4%
E=2.5%
IE=1%
U=0%
Then the next 2 years it was:
O=6.5%
EX=4.5%
E=3.5%
IE=1.5%
U=0%
Not that I have to worry about it since I'm no longer with Spot but I was just curious.
Please don't be offended, but how does getting red cards (a requisite for your position) and showing up on time for the job you accepted qualify you to be exceptional or outstanding? I'm just really trying to get a feel for what tm's think is exceptional work.If I get something below an E, I'm going to be pissed. Yeah, I know I'm new, but I get lots of Red Cards, I've never called out, and I've never been late.

Slippery slope, my friend. My motto at work, regardless of pay, "Can't have a CEO attitude with a minimum wage work ethic." I don't care if I earn 2$ or 200$ per hour, if I didn't do my absolute best, I'd be ashamed of myself.
I apologize. You're right. I have been reading a lot of posts by others that are the best tm's that Target has ever had and have worked for the company for anywhere from 3 months to a year and after a while they just fried my brain. I've been with the company for more than 13 years and I know that I still have opportunities.Please don't be offended, but how does getting red cards (a requisite for your position) and showing up on time for the job you accepted qualify you to be exceptional or outstanding?

Well, If I get anything below an "E", then that means I'm inconsistently effective or ineffective. I'm neither. I'm not asking for an Outstanding or Excellent. Read the post before commenting/criticizing.
