I'm a GMTL who was promoted from GM Team member. The long story short is that my GM team doesn't like that my SD and GM ETL have started to become more strict about enforcing freight push goals. Me and other leaders have been keeping an extra close eye on the team in terms how long it takes for...

This past Saturday night was a party for me and my usual group of co-workers whom I regularly hang out and party with. We try to keep these parties and gatherings secret since our SD and other ETL's don't like us getting together (as if it's their business) but this latest party was our biggest...

A couple of nights ago, I went to the apartment of one of my GM co-workers and she was basically just hosting a get together for some people at work to hang out and have some fun. There was about 10 of us ( a mix of some members from GM, electronics, and the front end) and it was basically just...

With the news that specialty sales will be having home and seasonal brought into it, I’m just curious as to what exactly happens in terms of the GMTL head count. My store is low volume and we have 3 GMTL’s and currently in the process of hiring a new GM ETL. We also have two Style leaders, one...

Hello! I have a Closing Team Leader interview coming up soon and I was looking for some info on the process? Who interviews me? What are some of the more common questions for this positions interview? Also any advice is appreciated! :)

I'm a GM Team Leader who was promoted back in September. Before my promotion, I would occasionally butt heads with another GM Team Member whom we'll just refer to as "Jim". Even before I began my leadership development, I would try to take charge and establish myself as a leader whom other TM's...

What are your thoughts?

Hello, everyone! I have a scheduled GM TL meet and greet with the district manager. Has anyone had a meet and greet lately? What questions do they ask and how do I prepare for the interview? Any tips are welcome.

I'm a GM Team Member who's in development to become a GMTL. More specifically, the hardlines GMTL who oversees toys, entertainment, sporting goods, and seasonal. Almost a month ago, my HR ETL had me fill out this worksheet detailing my development plan and it had a bunch of goals and metrics to...

Hello everyone, I have a question that's been on my mind ever since I started working at a Target Distribution Center back in 2019. First and foremost, I wanted to preface with the fact that I have a criminal background and history of going in and out of the juvenile detention system/prison...

If I got assigned a mentor to become TL what is next, if I exceed all expectations do I get the promotion or ?

I just have a question. So right now I’m a TM that working her way up TL I got assigned a mentor. I just have questions, What is my mentor teaching me ? The ropes of being a TL and what’s expected of me ? And after being assigned to a mentor how long after I become a TL. Is it just based on...

Yes, I've browsed this forum a bit but would like some advice and tips on my new role. So, I am a new Inbound TL and also over Toys/Sporting Goods. Currently we average 8 trucks a week (usually 1800-2200) (one double) and usually run 5 on the line, one thrower (on a good day). 4AM unload. I am...

Where do I go to get real help with bad business practices, borderline illegal practices really, salaried leaders who are breaking Target’s very own ethics guidelines book etc? I have expressed my concerns in sit down conversations with my store’s leaders. HR etl and SD lied to my face and many...

I'm a GM team member who's currently in development for a lead role. One of our GM leaders is officially leaving the company next week and my SD and HR ETL have both been having some talks with me about my development and the plan going forward. My SD gave me the "My Development Plan" worksheet...

I tend to hear that from the higher ups… if you want to move up , who will then take your place. Though I’ve never seen this in practice. Many people have left or gone to other locations though those “below” them have never taken their spot. But rather transfers or new hires. So why is that...

I recently left target, and am considering returning to a different store. I was a tm and would only go back as a tl. I’m sure I could get the position as I have multiple store directors who would vouch for me. However I recently moved to California and am unaware of starting pay for TL’s. Does...

Hey everyone, is there anyone who has been a remodel leader dayside, I've been asked by my SD and was wondering what it's really like, not Targets explanation, but someone who has done it

Thought I'd reach out to the community and see what sort of goals are being put down for the coming year. I'm not sure what goals I'll put down. Last year, it was to spend more time in my department (which thanks to Covid and turnover, that ended up being a daily necessity). Probably going to...

Questions: Are you (or the TL) in your store who is keyed as a fulfillment TL responsible for GM workload? Running trucks, transitions, SPLs, price change, etc? Or do you (or the TL) just run fulfillment?
