Hey everyone, I've been checking out The Break Room for awhile but I never actually created an account. I decided to create on for this specific situation I'm in. I've been working the front end ever since I was hired (Aug 2015). I began working Guest Service months after. But then I've wanted to cross train. I was never able to move because they didn't want me to transfer departments. I understand it though, once you get cross trained, you'll most likely stay there.
Fast forward to now, my store has 3 GSA's and 2 GSTLs. I have just been named one of the Temporary GSAs. I've been GSA for about a Month now and I can already tell it's not for me. My ETL of the Front End is the worst to work with, I just want out. I want to transfer to a neighboring city Target because I'm trying to get an apartment with my cousin in that city, and because they offered the Presentation job to me (I've been after that position for about 2-3 months now). That city I plan to move to isn't close either, it's about an hour away.
The issue is: I fear my Target will block my transfer. I talked to my front End ETL and told her how I'm not interested in being GSA anymore. I kind of figured it wasn't, but the position was literally handed to me so I decided to give it a try. The ETL said I have to finish the temporary position until the GSA who went on LOA comes back (In May or June). I don't want to wait because I don't want to lose this opportunity to finally get the position I've been after and finally make it out the front end. I didn't sign any agreement or anything saying I'd have to finish, my front end ETL quoted "We would still need you to finish the temporary GSA position until ____ comes back."
Alright so there you have it folks, is there any loop hole? How can I get out of being GSA and Transfer to that Target?
