Will having leverage help me get a raise. For example if I tell my store I have a job offer somewhere else, will they match the offer ?
I do have a job offer elsewhere, the pay is $3 more than spot.
However, I want to stay with Target.
STL so far has done alot to keep me at my store, (except raise) including the classic carrot dangling.
I know in my district there’s been a high turnover when it comes to TL.
I am sure I am replaceable,but, with all that I have done for my work center , I don’t think anyone can either maintain or replicate those results.....
I wouldn’t use that as a way to get a raise. I think you should use your metrics. Show them how much of a difference you made since owning your workcenters and the development of your team. A few years ago I went to my ETL-HR after our review was delivered and asked for more money because of my metrics and things I was able to accomplish in my Workcenter and brought up the fact that even though there was a revolving door of ETLs at our store, my performance was consistent. Back then we had paygrade increases so he gave me the paygrade increase and I was able to negotiate it without hassle. I got $3. It’s possible but I know my case is rare as it isn’t always easy in other stores.STL so far has done alot to keep me at my store, (except raise) including the classic carrot dangling.

^This. I’ve seen this happen, too. It’s like leadership feels like you went over to the enemy and after that there’s a cloud over you. It’s up to you, but $3.00 an hour more is a great incentive and I don’t see Spot matching it.I've seen a lot of people get stabbed in the back after counteroffers, in and out of Spot. I'd take the new job and run, but only you can make the best decision for yourself.
Actually it CAN hurt to try.Doesn't hurt to try
I interviewed to see what was out there and what my skill set what was worth. I actually interview 2-3 times a year at various places. To learn and brush up on my cockiness. I plan on being at spot for the long term.Great advice from others here.
You apparently interviewed somewhere else since you have a job offer. So you aren't completely happy at Spot if you invested the time/effort to meet with the other employer.
Reviews and raises come up in a few months. If you are at base TL pay, your pay will go up as much as TM pay does. So likely a buck or more. If you're above base, your raise won't be as much.
You could make a case based upon your metrics now, but any raise negotiated now would probably mean you get next to nothing at your regular review. Or, make your case now and if you aren't happy with how that goes, then show them the offer you have.
Then knock the cockiness off. Use ONLY if you really want to leave and have valid job offer.I interviewed to see what was out there and what my skill set what was worth.

Thats why I came to you guys for advice before I used this new found tool of competition to get a raise. I think the consensus is unanimous. To go the traditional route of displaying/bringing forth my contributions.Which I appreciate.Then knock the cockiness off. Use ONLY if you really want to leave and have valid job offer.

Try changing your perspective, 5 years from now. Store mod killed everything, IMO. We had a solid process to handle opu, spot killed it. I am still stuck cleaning up the mess.For you .. ...
