An acquaintance of mine has recently become a life coach and posts Youtube videos intended to motivate people. In this latest one, he interviewed his brother who is an STL. I watched it with interest, but my emotion turned when the brother said that he was promoted to STL...AT AGE 25. Furthermore, he even admitted he....one, had no idea what to do after graduation; and two, only applied to Target because they were at a career fair.
I am the same age as the brother when he was promoted - STL definitely isn't in my immediate future. My TL has been with Spot for far, far longer and cannot advance beyond Sr.TL because of no degree. There are many hardworking team members at my store who have been with the company for almost as much time (five years), if not longer and have not advanced to such high levels while people can manage an entire store after just three years with the only qualification having a bachelor's degree in (insert here).
i'm done.
