leadership

(From a Kmart to a now Target store, NC) Me and a buddy of mine were talking and it definitely doesn’t look good for this store at all. Maybe when the majority of us leave they’ll have to see that we’re actually people and they may get paid more than us but unfortunately they’re nothing...

The store that used to be a Kmart :( It’s like the men and women here have no social lives or partnerships outside of work. ON TOP OF THAT, if I forgot to mention one of the men who manly does the flirting is married. Seeing extremely narcissistic men in the work place only respecting men or...

Maybe this store should’ve stayed a K-mart in North Carolina…From male ETL’s watching leaders lust and attempt to form inappropriate relationships with workers, to leaders allowing their early morning GM team to unsafely allow product to not be properly back stocked and creating a huge safety...

I recently applied for a team lead position at my store, which was interviewed by my own ETL. I was told i didnt get it and was fine with it. Later i was told im not ready for a team lead position by my ETL. I didn't get the position, so i applied to other stores in hopes of a different ETLs...

Side note: I’m a TL but still don’t understand this process so asking for information that people may have on this. So in recent myDay communication in stated mid-February that there would be process changes in the process to bring on a PG45 and it would lean more heavily on the Talent...

Question for all and thoughts. When I was internally promoted to a team leader, I was initially hired in General Merchandise as a salesfloor team leader. But with leader shortages and people quitting/getting fired, our inbound TL eventually left. Then the SD stated that she/he thought me taking...

About 2 months ago I was asked by the store director to move over to inbound operations team leader. My position was special sales team leader, but for the past month since accepting the inbound operations team leader position I've been doing the job of the inbound ops tl. Going in opening the...

So I know an APS is an Assets Protection Specialist, but I was wondering whether they have the power to override people to clock them in. Can they also say document a performance conversation with a team member? Like, do they have the power in Workday to write people up? If so, can they write a...

What do you guys consider team leads? So usually in management, there is the General Manager, Assistant Manager/Managers, and then the supervisors under the assistant managers among other levels of leadership depending on the business. With that being said if the Store Director is Target's...

Lately, I've been feeling burnt-out, over-worked, under-appreciated and just generally bad, while at work. I've equated (many times) that I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship that I just can't leave. I don't hate what I do. I lead a small team and I enjoy their company and work ethic...

Please tell me who trains Operation Managers? Do they need a degree? If so does it have to be logistics related…

I recently had all three rounds of interviews. My first interview was with a campus recruiter for about 40 minutes who then recommended me to do the second round of interviews with the store director. To my avail it was the second and third round of interviews the same day. The first with the SD...

I’ve recently been promoted to ETL after working my way up from seasonal (hired a few years back) and I gotta say - having worked on the sales floor and directly with guests and bad leaders myself I worry about being overconfident in my relatability as I haven’t been in a TM role in a hot...

What does it mean to be put on the pipeline? I keep being told i get brought up in etl meetings and that they all want to promote me but i have no idea what it means or what is going to happen, if we have no openings at our store for a tl any advice is welcome

Hi all, sorry if this has been posted before. For the past few years, my TL has gotten into the habit of publicly criticizing/coaching TMs on our daily communication log. Its really embarrassing and feels very toxic. Without going into too much detail, she crossed the line with her “feedback”...

Hey all, So I'm currently trying to find ways to motivate the style team in my store. Our new store mentality is to coach and corrective action the team to death but I don't think it's truly helping. I know that there are definitely performance conversations to be had but I don't think that my...

Am I the only lead that feels like they are sucking at their job now. With the new roll outs team moral has gone to the crapper. Pretty much looking at all new TMs as the experienced ones are putting in two weeks left n right and any close to veterans we do have are looking at being coached out...

Hi everyone! I was wondering what the timeline looks like at target to become executive team leader? I am going to graduate with my bachelors in communications soon. I got an offer for accessories and apparel team member. I was also wondering what is Target’s upward mobility look like? If I...

Can someone give me a sample as to what to type up when documenting a talk with a tm about tardiness. Apparently I havnt been wording this correctly. Thank you.

Hi! So I have been with Target for the last year and a half. I have been talking to my leaders about developing to a TL and have been working hard at it since the beginning of the year. However here is where my questions are. There is an open Salefloor Team Lead position at another store. I...
