    I hate my SD's new rules.

    you're a department manager at a retail store...... this isn't some elitist popularity contest.... grow up. you're going to get pushed out really quick with that attitude.

    BUS (Business Unit Status)

    My store was doing them weekly, which honestly started to really annoy me because they would take so long and I already status daily with my SD &, ETL. Also, my store is super short staffed with so much to do so I hated just sitting in the office for over an hour repeating the same stuff while...

    GM TL that is going insane, losing all motivation and ready to give up

    I go out of my way to recognize my team daily. I really feel for them. But upper management keeps asking for more and more of them, to the point where it is completely unreasonable and I'm getting the fall for it. Everyone is burned out. But I do plan on leaving soon, just have to wait for a few...

    GM TL that is going insane, losing all motivation and ready to give up

    Anyone else feeling so overwhelmed, overworked, underappreciated to the point where you are almost lacking all motivation? I've been a gm/inbound tl for over year, but have been a leader overall for over five years. In my time as a gm leader I excelled at my role. I always had and executed...

    Pricing and Presentation Transition: Freight Flow

    I've brought it up to my SD but she doesn't want us to do that. I guess I'll just sit on my seven pallets of bikes and five pallets of squishmallows for a year

    Pricing and Presentation Transition: Freight Flow

    I feel like I could've wrote this. I'm at a low volume store and a very small backroom, but we've never had a problem with steel space until now. It's a constant battle and struggle to find space for anything and the crap just keeps coming in. My SD is constantly on my butt about making space...

    How are y’all’s stores?

    I've worked at Target for almost 5 years and I have never seen things this bad. I've been a GM/Inbound TL for a year now and I am so beyond burned out and I truly feel it just keeps getting worse and worse. I used to come in with solid plans, everything got done smoothly and I had a lot of pride...

    TL Reviews, what was yours like?

    I got a 3.5% as well. I got the mid year performance bonus out of all the team leads, ran all of GM alone for three months, did three months straight of OT, all green metrics and have been non stop busting my ass. So the fact I didn't get the 6% and I got a short half assed review kinda makes me...

    Specialty Sales to take over home and seasonal

    I wonder how this will apply lower volume stores.

    Losing my patience.

    I hate the BUS status meetings with a burning passion. At my store we have a paper to fill out and they want it very detailed so I usually spend 30 minutes just doing that. Then we waste an hour of our day in the actual meeting, an hour that I could be using to get the 1937372 tasks I need to...

    Losing my patience.

    That's how it's always happened at my store, the position is usually filled or at least an announcement of who will be filling the role after a few weeks. That's strange they'd leave a position open for that long. Well anyways, best of luck to you!

    Losing my patience.

    As a team lead, I'll be honest with you. If there is an open position and it hasn't been filled yet after a few weeks, its because they already have a plan in place. If they were going to promote you to the spot that is currently avaliable, they've would've already told you. If you aren't...

    Nationwide Entire Store Price Audit?

    To me this is a waste of time as doing this isn't fixing the root of the problem. This clearly shows not having a price change team isn't working. If they aren't bringing it back, us scanning and fixing the inaccurate prices is a temporary fix for what, a week? We are seriously scanning every...

    MEGATHREAD Signing Tips, Tricks and Quips (along with howls of despair)

    That's how it is at my store. My SD just says to work ahead and "use my resources" well son when we have a bare bones team, 4837472 covid cases and I'm running a truck everyday, you can only do so much.

    Should I be worried about my shot at a TL role?

    Also I was 19 when I got promoted with zero supervisory experience and I've gotten DEO's on all of my reviews. Just because you're young doesn't mean you can't be in management.

    Should I be worried about my shot at a TL role?

    The biggest thing is you need to show them that you are mature and responsible enough to be in a management position. You can't compare yourself to your peers and ask yourself, "why did this person get promoted even though they're 19 and haven't been here that long" you don't know what...

    A question about TL development.

    If anything they should be preparing you for a mock TL interview so you can officially be on the bench. Being a seasonal DBO is a great position for development, but sometimes leaders do take advantage of the hard workers. I would just try to be vocal. But good luck to you

    Advice for a GM TL

    so we get 4-5 trucks a week. for my store the inbound team are also the dbo's. on average it takes about 2 hours to unload the truck so we are done by 8AM. Our truck sizes are usually around 1500-2k. this will be my first q4 out on the salesfloor. but I'm really working on being strategic and...

    Advice for a GM TL

    I've been a GM TL for six months now at small-medium volume target. I'm in charge of inbound, toys and seasonal. I did not get much training but I feel like I've been doing a good job, I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from my SD. They also want me to become an ETL which is great but...
