    Archived TM to ETL stories

    My STL must have been the opposite, apparently she asked something about myTime that wasn't appreciated at fall national, and she was told she must not be an "engaged leader" since myTime wasn't working for her. I will say there wasn't a whole lot of koolaid drinking in my store. She was great...

    Archived Moving from Backroom TM to PMT (formerly SFT): What to expect?

    The SFT at my store was the same pay as a Sr.TL and he worked 6a-230p mon-fri. He was great. (I assume he's still there, I'm the one not still there haha).

    We don't have that problem, thankfully - although we did majorly over order pizza on tax free weekend and had to throw away a ridiculous amount of pizza someone could have/should have taken home over the weekend.

    As a TM I liked them but as an HRTM I hated them, but I did them because I also hated them being on the calendar as a TM and them not being done. ETL HR would plan them and if I wasn't there it didn't get done. If I did it people complained constantly - they didn't like what food we had, they...

    Someone said "What made you decide to go back?" My only response "I spent a year in retail human resources." There are more personal reasons too, but I get really twitchy when people start wanting to know anything personal about me.

    Archived Power Hour

    We would have had alcohol poisoning based on this alone. One of ours was broken so it repeated itself even when no one was using it, including before open, and after close.

    I'm leaving to be a vet tech, and planning to enroll and finish my last few prerequisite classes so I can apply to vet school. I got lucky, to be in a store with a half decent leadership team. I handed my STL my voluntary resignation form and she said "I wish I could talk you out of it, but I...

    Archived What is with ETLs and Twitter?

    Yeah, they're supposed to. Our HRBP came in one day and told our ETLHR she had to create a twitter and start using it. They all post constantly and the DTL and group people all like or follow or whatever each other.

    Archived Interesting Situation

    If we tell someone at my store we'll notify them if we want a second interview, it usually means we aren't hiring them. For me if there's going to be a second interview it either happens right away or I talk to the applicant and schedule a second for another day.

    We're doing two orientations a week lately at my store, so don't worry. I don't have an issue if someone is unavailable for one orientation, especially if they aren't available at all that day. We don't plan orientations more than a couple days in advance so I usually completely understand if...

    Archived I have my TL interviews soon.

    Oh man... I would have such a problem with this. I would probably stop answering until he looked up and say very politely "I'm sorry, am I boring you?" I had a panel interview for another job that one of the panel just looked like he hated his life and didn't want to be there and I was SO...

    Welcome! I started seasonal hardlines last year with my bachelors and I'm coming up on one year now... Definitely hitting the job hunt again personally!

    Archived Likelihood of Getting a Raise

    Yep... As hardlines I got told how great I was doing all the time, and then the review/raise was nine cents. Or it would have been 9 cents except that my old ETL HR who interviewed me for HRTM managed to put the HR raise in before the yearly review raise and somehow I got a 62 cent raise on top...

    I think the chat might make me spend more time on this site than any other... I was so excited when I created an account and saw it.
