leadership

Look, I know some stores are definitely keeping the tech/beauty lead, but has anyone heard of them going away because they’re failing at selling and basically not doing shit except standing around looking slick all day. (Or this could just be my store?)

Would over overriding a $900+ device to $0 be a good reason to term a ETL termination? Just knowing that alone the answer would be duck yeah but listen to the circumstances! The guest came in sent from another store for a contract phone promo (BOGO-free + $150 per line). Because the printer...

As the title suggests, recently offered 2 TL positions, but one is at a different store. What are the pros and cons of each TL position? Which one do you guys think is better?

Does anyone know if the process for demotion has changed?

As a GSTL, my ETL-GE wants to give myself and the other GSTL access to edit the schedule and even write the schedule in the event he is on vacation. Is it possible for him to ask the STL or ETL-HR to grant us access? Can he do it himself? Is it possible at all? All I get is Maintain Current...

Hello all! I've currently expressed interest in becoming a backroom TL at my current store, but, the STL and current ETL-LOG fear that I may not have the capability to properly coach TMs and hold accountability. I'm currently in a trial period that came with a pay bump to be considered a...

Do you think servant leadership is the best type of leadership? Why or why not?

What do you do when ETLs have a rotten attitude? They don’t smile, dont say hello or hi. It seems like they have to go poop all the time. Can a TL actually pull an ETL aside and talk to him/her about their attitude? If not, how would you go about tackling an issue like that?

Tomorrow I'm going to get a call from I'm assuming the dtl (I wasn't told) for a new team lead position at my store. My etl hr has coached me a couple times for the interview, but this was in person. Has anyone had a phone interview for a tl position? What was it like? I'm worried I won't be...

I am currently a Hardlines team member for the sales floor at a target in Texas, about 4 months ago I decided I wanted to pursue being a STL, conveniently my Team lead went on a LOA and my ETL allowed me to inherit all of her hours till she returned. During this time i worked everyday with my...

I recently sat down with my leadership to discuss my interests in becoming a backroom TL. I’ve been a backroom TM for 3 years so I know the jist of a lot of the processes, but, what exactly can I expect if I become the TL? Moreso, what are some things to look forward to. I understand ASANTS, but...

How can I go about reporting an ETL thats making my job hard and not doing their job, loafing, not communicating with me. Should I go to the STL? Will he have any power over him/her?

im currently a Hardlines TM. I’ve been with Target for nearly four months (not too much past the 90 days period). I feel as if I am a go-to for a lot of tasks and all last week I received good hours despite payroll being tight, but was given a lot of crappier jobs where I was working by myself...

I was hired on as a seasonal remodel team member. Our project is coming to an end, and a few of us have been selected to stay on, and we were told today where they would like to place us. I was told i would be on a 4am-12pm team, however I requested a certain team because of the hours, as...

Hello everyone, I was recently brought to the Target team after a few interviews. A little bit about my background: Navy vet (5 and half years in Logistics/supply chain management), Divorced, one child, and currently working on my MBA in Supply Chain Management. I’ve noticed that the person...

Is anyone else's store creating a SFS (or Flexible Fulfillment?) Team Leader position? Ours definitely will be starting this Q4, but there are very few details about it so far. The only thing known for sure is that it will no longer fall under Backroom leadership and will be its own...

So I just recently got promoted from a PA (FA) to a FTL. I feel the need to add that I am only 20 years old, with no degree. I started with the company when I was 16 years old & worked my rear end off & proved myself. I went from one of the highest volume stores in our district to one of the...

We recently got a new ETL-HR since our last one walked out after getting in a screaming match with the new STL. Our new ETL-HR has been here for about a month now and had her first close the other night. She must have been really anxious to leave as she hustled everyone out and locked up minutes...

So first I'll start with a bit of some background on me: I was a softlines seasonal hire last year that was kept on permanently. In march of this year I was promoted to a brand position, our other softlines brand person quit in April and since we haven't refilled the position because we don't...

So we all know BTS talks about recognition Soooooo I was wondering what everyones definition is of "recognition". Recently had an executive explain to me that they weren't made to say "Thank You" or "Good Job" when you are doing your job. I let him know doing our jobs keeps Target open so...
