Currently an overnight ETL Replen. Thinking about quitting soon. I don't want to give a two week notice because I've heard no good comes of this. Any opinions? Pros and Cons?
Also, there is nothing anyone can say to change my mind. I've no legal obligation to give two weeks.
Here is the problem.... you are an ETL. In my years with Target, I have seen countless ETLs literally get walked out the door by AP (humiliating) after giving two weeks. Target does not like letting ETLs have access to so much after they have made it clear they are leaving because an ETL who is unhappy could potentially do major damage before leaving. (i.e. go into MAX and change every TMs punches to random times, order 10 times more perishables than needed, etc.)
My advice? Leave on your terms before they walk you out the door in disgrace.
Here are the two scenarios:
First scenario - you do the "right thing" and give two weeks. The following happens:
1. One day randomly before your two weeks is up your STL along with AP greets you in the office. They tell you to give them your keys and tell you that your services are no longer needed.
2. AP walks you out the door like a common thief in front of your team.
Second scenario - you leave on your terms. The following could happen:
1. You walk in to your STLs office, tell him/her exactly what is wrong with this company and why you are leaving, plop your keys down on her desk and say "see ya!".
2. If you get a chance on your way out, tell your team it was nice working with them.
3. Walk on the door alone head held high.
The major (and pretty much only "con") of the second scenario? You will be marked non-rehireable internally at Target. But you know what, I wouldn't worry about that. Target generally will *never* let a former ETL come back, nor have I ever seen such a thing happen in all of my years with Target.
