Out of curiosity, what would happen to a TL (who was angry) who walked up behind a TM, said "move", and used both hands to push him out of the way, so much so that the TM almost fell over?
Never a dull moment at your store....
I hope the employee has a good lawyer and let that SoB make some money off not only the manager who pushed him, but the company for not protecting thier employees.

Yeah, we've gotta make sure he gets a whole bunch of money because of this completely inconsequential incident. Heaven forbid someone who wasn't hurt have to settle for just an apology. That would be a travesty.

sorry it isn't 1800s anymore and employers cannot treat you like dirt, he pushes the employee once and nothing happens. Ok that sets a precedent so next time the employee screws up or is in the way the boss can get physical with him? Please how would you like it if you were stocking a shelf and were told you were doing it wrong and your TL or ETL physically pushed you out of the way?
Sorry but its not acceptable to push anyone in the workplace ever.... Violence has no place regardless if someone is hurt or not. If someone wants to press charges, they should too. Spot needs to be afraid of its employees not the other way around.

When exactly did I suggest that the manager's behavior was "acceptable" or that he should be allowed to "get physical" with the employees with "nothing happen[ing]" as a result?
All I said is that the employee doesn't deserve money. He wasn't hurt. What he deserves is an apology and an assurance that he won't be shoved again--and that's all. It's likely that the best way to achieve that assurance is through firing the manager, and I would have no objection whatsoever to the company doing so--in fact it's what I'd suggest they do. But monetary damages? Are you kidding?
Target would send SOT the their store to punch the TL in the face :laugh4:
Sorry...couldn't help it!
Let's take this scenario a step further, suppose it is an ETL pushing a TM out of the way in anger. No video footage available, it's the ETL's (who is in the wrong) word against the TM's, what do you think Target would do? Side with the ETL or TM who is the victim in this? Suppose further the TM got hurt as a result? Discuss.

there's a guy at my store that works in the backroom that's really aggro. i had asked him a few times to do a pull for a guest and each time he would literally throw the item at me with force and let me know i was being a nuisance.

Maybe he should take a ride in the compactor....
There's tons of things you can do to do passive-aggressively mess with TMs of other teams.there's a guy at my store that works in the backroom that's really aggro. i had asked him a few times to do a pull for a guest and each time he would literally throw the item at me with force and let me know i was being a nuisance.
A hostile work environment, violent or not, is unacceptable under state and federal job regulations. The violence may be a criminal event, but who wants to be at the mercy of an unknown heavy handed employer? Always report workplace violence, and never accept it as a norm.
