On this forum I have seen a few TLs brag on how much they make.
The pandemic has shown us that we're considered essential. It's also a lot more than putting toilet paper on the shelf. Since we've all become experts, consultants, and advocates, our responsibilities have more than tripled what they were just a few years ago.
Target is getting more work done per unit while it’s expenditure is dropping. So big daddy Brian is making more with less ‘team members’ so nothing is going to change.
Asking to push 5 pallets 6 feet tall of produce for one person in 6 hours is outrageous
Or do they? 🤣 I work front end and also fulfillment bulk orders plus "whatever else is needed" .... close call here
No idea why you would sort of handwave additional duties. Those are added to the workload. That's essentially my point. Everybody has to do more with the same hours, but the same money, which is falling behind the pay of the competition. The worst example of having to do more is DBOs and others on the floor having to jump in to fulfillment all day, but still be pressured to finish daily stuff. You can't have been unaware of this.
I never thought of a TL position/pay as being remotely bragworthy lol. Maybe if you're like 18. It would suck if Target decided to cull the herd, but I was thinking the other day it seems possible.
I meant some TLs that have been with Target for years but aren't dumb enough to become an ETL and lose money because they are now salaried.
I did the math on what I would make assuming 50 hours/week (including the overtime rate), and added a premium to that number which would make it worth the extra stress and responsibility, and I realized there's no way Target would pay me that number (and I'm still kinda new, under 3 years so I don't make much). For long timers who have enough annual raises to be well ahead of the rest of us, there really is no freaking way in hell it's worth it.
