Our store would've been better off opening at 7 vs. staying open until 11. We don't get anyone in the evenings 9-10 let alone until 11. When we do 7am during Q4 we always get a good bit of people.

In our store both hair and skin are generally owned by beauty. It's been this way since before I started 5 years ago. GM will occasionally do a haircare u-boat but never the repacks. The haircare u-boats are the lowest priority for them also, so if beauty didn't take care of it they'd rarely get...

Was about to ask the exact same thing. I was just thinking about how I missed this series. 😂

Should you leaving have factored in to your raise percentage? Absolutely not. It's a review over your performance over the past year and nothing more. However, this is Target/retail. After being with them over a few years you should be well aware of how they run things, and it certainly is...

Exactly this right here. ^^^ Always cover yourself and send that email as soon as possible. I wouldn't make it accusatory toward the other TL and ETL, maybe just state they were witness to the inexcusable behavior. Playing devil's advocate here, they could have just thought you had it handled...

Are you a lead as well or a TM? The TM that came at you may have been having a bad day, but I'm all about covering your own self. You were correct in keeping your cool and in how you handled it.My personal next move would have been immediately to HR to document. If it had happened previously...

Ours is $4 over base. If you're internal you'll be less likely to get more than that. Not saying it doesn't happen, but you'd need a hell of a lot of experience to back up the why. If you're an external hire you'll be more likely to get the increase. That being said, back when I was promoted I...

Those continue to be the bane of my existence. 😩

From what I can gather over the last month (from mostly the Facebook groups), many TLs were moved departments and positions whether they liked it or not. With the restructure, TL headcount might've stayed the same for your store while TL positions were created/eliminated. This might've been...

ASANTS but every year including this one a TL has told the seasonal employee what day their last day is. For me, I invite them to reapply around February/March as we (at least at our store) tend to hire in around those months since we inevitably lose a few kept seasonal by then lol I'm a...

I think what Hardlines master means by "be careful" is that this current Target is not the Target of the past. It isn't the atmosphere of the Target that you remember. You could (and likely will) be walking into a crap-storm. Have a plan and the mind-set that you can't do it all. You DO need...

Every convo they've had with you has been documented. Eventually they'll put you on a CA and then a final. Keep in mind, once you're on the CA you're not eligible for bonuses, transfer, etc. We've had TL's float around our store on multiple random CA's and finals for years. ASANTS, but unless...

There isn't an official company policy regarding internal promotions. It is all at the discretion of your SD and DSD. At our store, most of our TLs (including myself) were promoted internally. For ETL, it is essentially the same but we don't have a ton of ETL turnover. For both roles, they...

IDK but what I do know is that if you fix a miss-pick it not only fixes your inventory (which helps fulfillment and metrics), but covers your store's butt as well. The wrong item being sent isn't your store's fault, but your store is responsible to fix it. I would also imagine that if a certain...

If you look in your Workday profile under "compensation" it should say what (if any) your temp. pay differential is. No matter your pay cycle I feel like everyone should be entered in at this point. We're hiring seasonal, but not a lot. Mostly just for fulfillment and the front end. I doubt we...
