I don’t think is favoritism . When I started at target I never thought that I would become a Tl let alone where I am now . I have never applied for the Tl position however I had something that other people in my store didn’t have , work ethic. I was the person they would call to come in to cashier , I was the person that took over shoe brand that no one wanted , I was the closing style sooner , the person who ran add at 4 am after closing Saturday at midnight, I did overnight Plano remodel that I had no prior knowledge of . One day I get pulled in the office by style Etl and he started prepping me for interview , then the Etl hr prep me as well as stl. Back then you still had to interview with hrpb and Dtl so I was being prepped for that. I took over a Tl position that I knew nothing about , Backroom , off-site and inbound it got me where I am because I had the drive to get the shit done not because I was there for a long time.
