Archived Too many bosses

[BackroomAlpha]

I cant say much or it will give away my location but they just added a TL to seasonal and open market...this person is going to br promoted as Team Lead for seasonal. Im sorry but thats just an excuse to give a "friend" a pay grade raise and promotion. Theres no need for a TL of seasonal lol. What is this person going to do? Whats the responsibility beside setting sales planners? rediculous. Weve got over 10 "bosses" at our store during each shift. Im beginning to feel this company is elementary.

 

[Yetive]

We don't have 10 total .

 

[instockout]

Almost all of seasonals end caps are permanent end caps anyway. There is literally no need for a tl backthere.

Is the volume of your store extremely high? I could see a Seasonal TL being added just to manage the seasonal pushes and merchandising/condensing for plano if the store is that busy. Otherwise it sounds like there are TLs moving/stepping down/promoting and they are just running heavy until those things happen.

Headcount changes require DTL approval, so I seriously doubt it's just favoritism.

I could see that for back to school/holidays. Seasonal this time of year just doesn't get enough traffic.

I think your second theory is spot on.

Since we are making up TL positions, can I be TL of Shampoo.....

 

[Shadowski]

My store is a b volume (was an a) and we are at 9tl (2 are senior tl), 4 etls and a stl. We are going to attrition out 1 etl and 2 tl due to dropping in volume. But we get another SrTL position.

Interesting to see leadership numbers.

Jeeeeeeeeeez. With the communication issues every store seems to have, yours must have twofold.

What communication?

 

[Jeremy]

What we need is a TL for One spot....That place really could use some.love company wide!

 

[boobooduck]

Awesome idea. I call TL of beer and beef jerky. Also, I agree with Rock Lobster that they may be in that position for a while until another TL moves on to something else.

None of ours had ever worked either seasonal. Except as a favor when an etl asked.

[Noiinteam]

Hanger TL. It drives me nuts seeing them on the floor everywhere.

Honestly speaking, we are all "Leaders" of our own workcenters. Only difference is we aren't making large amounts of money for it. I can't tell you how thin stretched I have been at Spot sometimes and even though I no longer have TL next to my name on the daily grid, how respected I am not only by my peers, but Leadership in general. Many of you who have been with Spot many years are unofficial Leaders. Hell, if you been with the company 15-20 years+, You are the unofficial STL
