Just got signed off!

[walruses]

I finished my TL interviews last week and was signed off! Just waiting on where they're going to put me. Yay ! I was really surprised at how painless my DTL interview was!

 

[Bullseye Flow TM]

Congrat's!

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Way to go! Congrats!

 

[redeye58]

Yay, Walruses! TL in da house!

 

[pzychopopgroove]

The roof... the roof... THE ROOF IS ON FIYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

 

[walruses]

Thanks! I'm just glad this website exists. Such a great resource.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

You are a good poster too! It's a team effort!

 

[MorurDreamcat]

Good for you!!! I wish you the best of luck.

 

[walruses]

It just kinda stinks to train right before Black Friday and they still haven't made up their minds for which department ... I'll find out by the end of the weekend.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Seasonal, furniture, & small electrics are good ones. You may put in toys first.

We have POG, SL and HL available. I thought I knew where I was going, but the feedback I received today implies that I'm going somewhere else. :/

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

I hope you get hl!

 

[FrontEndKnowItAll]

I'd hope for POG or hl... just my preference as I am hopeless at soft lines!!!

Time to run screaming for your sanity! :O

 

[Formina Sage💯]

POG TL is hard, not gonna lie. I see some of the things my plano TL has to accomplish, and it amazes me we finish 100 percent every week.

 

[TargetOldTimer]

My 2 cents? Don't be in a rush for POG TL. They have the hardest TL job in the building, in my opinion.

 

[Stuckinsoftlines]

Psssssh sl is the best....no bias

[FrontEndKnowItAll]

Don't be a POG TL at my store... Because of recent openings he is now the Backroom, Flow, and Presentation TL!! just sounds like fun to be doing the job that we normally have 5 for.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

So, what did you get?

 

[walruses]

still waiting ...

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Ok. Ask the lod for you can do some endcap salesplanners instead. Or get some certs done like backroom, baler, compactor, power equipment $ food safety while you wait.

haha, I already have all my power equipment certifications and help with ad rotation sales planners on saturdays. I'm still in my old role, but my patience is wearing thin.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Hang in there. It could be a test by your mgt to see if you are self starter & do the tl core roles with your team.

 

[pzychopopgroove]

You have been signed off, but not actually in a TL position yet? It's possible that you are waiting for a spot to open within your district?

A GSA at my store who had been signed off as a TL had to wait for that exact same thing. She got an xfer from the front end to Bakery TL. At my store. Before I got fired I would pester her lol and call her a traitor for leaving me all alone on the front end.

 

[Stuckinsoftlines]

Yes team member can get promoted and to a team lead and not be in that role for a while because they are appart of the team lead bench. Your either waiting for someone to be fired, quit or step down. But you should still be making the team lead pay which is sorta nice if they give you hours

 

[walruses]

Getting finalized this week! We do have open positions but our DTL determines where I go based on strengths/opps.

 

[redeye58]

*fingers crossed for you to get what you want*

 

[walruses]

Out of all the time in the past two weeks they had to wait until the week of black friday to figure it out? Lol. Regardless, I am so stoked. I'm not on the new schedule, so either I'm fired or training. !

 

[redeye58]

Not fired. NOT fired!
In limbo, perhaps...

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Training!

 

[walruses]

Softlines TL!

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Congrats! Hey stuck & superman! You have a 3rd tl in sl!

 

[redeye58]

Yay, Walruses! SLTL in da house!

 

[mrknownothing]

Congrats!

 

[SupermanLeader]

Softlines TL!

Niceeeee!! Another Softlines TL!! Yesss!! Walruses PM me or Stuckinsoftlines! We'd be happy to help! I mean I've been in SL for a month now but Stuckinsoftlines is helpful!

Good luck to you in your new area!

Bring in a lot of ideas!

 

[Stuckinsoftlines]

WELCOME TO THE BEST PART OF SPOT! So excited how many sltl's are there on here were totally beating hl that's for sure

Hey sl guys heads up on the new RTW adj I was looking at the book some interesting changes...swim in November for some stores? Crazy yes

 

[DotWarner]

Swimwear in November is not crazy for those guests who are heading for warmer weather for their winter vacations.
Congrats to walruses on your promotion!

 

[redeye58]

Down south we got swimsuits 'cause a lot of the kids do swimteam during the winter months to prep for spring relays.

 

[Stuckinsoftlines]

I'm a part of the nation that stays frozen from dec-April when we got our in team members laughed

 

[walruses]

Thanks everyone!! I'll be sure to message you guys once I start training. Gotta focus on black friday right now. I may or may not have worked 14 hours today...

We just started getting ours in and I don't think we even have enough for a full quad...were a test store as well so we get all sorts of crazy product.
I'm doing a partial overnight to set it in at 4am. Tip have then sync up your opening weekend with your biggest adj so you can use the openin shifts to prep and set table ect. Its harder to do that during a close RTW is one of the most time consuming

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

We are in the same boat on swim wear. I opened the flat for the sl etl for the big rush, to do some adj! The stuff left were low counts & needed to moved.

 

[walruses]

We also have year round swim wear.

 

[Stuckinsoftlines]

We got our first round in Monday night but it still isn't enough to fill a quad said day my back wall is still coats

 

[walruses]

We just set RTW on Monday and guests are complaining that we have too many bathing suits and not enough coats and jackets.

It's the opposite for me I got yelled at by a guest for not having enough she asked me what do you expect me to wear on vacation?!
I just smiled and said I'm sorry then later i checked asst case packs and found most of my swim suits were backstocked...in the boxes not hanging yay thanks overnight! ( depending on which overnight Lod or srtl is leadin the team they're either Gods gift to my store or Gods wrath)

 

[walruses]

Our assets stuff is NOA ..so we just flexed it in.

We just finished RTW today. Blehh. I'm glad I'm a quick learner.

 

[STLinMaking]

Congrats! Just got signed off on as a Sr. TL myself. Good Luck!
