Archived Applying for SBTL.. Long story

[Redhairedchick]

BTW, when you said you got a promotion and that you are the Senior TM in Food Ave, do you mean you are a Food Service Assistant?

Yes, I assume so. I was just given title and raise and more responsibility. I have people call me that , senior team member and glorified secretary

Now I'm really curious about your volume. It's either super super high (TL for Starbucks, TL for Food Ave, and an FSA requires about $900,000 per year Food Ave plus SB sales), or pretty low (SBTL plus FSA is about $450,000/year and under, assuming the consumables TL is really just the consumables TL and is just sort of the TL for Food Ave too).

@CoquiAzul Do you have a Food Ave TL and an FSA in your store?

About 4 years ago, we had a team leader of Food Ave, he got burnt out and became a GSA and there has not been a designated TL of Food Ave since, they just tossed it under the Consumables Team Leader duties.

@CoquiAzul Do you have a Food Ave TL and an FSA in your store?

Yes, I have both. Before I got promoted I was one of the 3 FSAs along side the Food Ave TL and Starbucks TL.

 

[Xanatos]

3 FSAs wow.

We have a FSA in consumables they just took from another store and than there is me in Food Ave. I do everything for food ave and rarely see them

Consumables assistants are Perishable Assistants, not FSA but their role is generally the same.

 

[Coqui]

Yeah we are pretty high volume and I'm trying to promote one of my Starbucks TMs to FSA.

 

[Redhairedchick]

Sorry you are correct she is Pfresh my husband just corrected me.

 

[Redhairedchick]

I also Cashier, work Softlines, Flow and hardlines. I can't work in electronics cause my husband being the Brand. Which they moved him from GSA to there to hire me. x.x

 

[Redhairedchick]

We do have a Starbucks within a mile from us. But guests choose us for the 5% and well convenience

 

[Redhairedchick]

I am still learning ins and outs of everything they throw upon me daily. Again without help or mentoring.

 

[Coqui]

Have you met the Starbucks DM?

 

[Coqui]

We can help mentor you, just be open to feedback.

 

[Redhairedchick]

Yes I have many times, he knows my role in Food Ave. Asked me today is my app was in yet.

 

[Redhairedchick]

I really am. I have never worked for a place like this. Where they bend so easily for some and yet want you to still put your foot down.

Though he wasn't happy to hear they were letting her go. He had no idea and doesn't know why our store can't keep a SBTL for longer than a year

I wonder why they let go of your SBTL.

 

[Coqui]

Cross training is amazing. When I started, no one worked both Starbucks and Food Ave. Now all of my Starbucks TMs can at least cover a break in Food Ave, and some work a shift per week there. Then again, I'm the TL for both, so it's easier for me to coordinate that stuff.

I've been trying to do this for the longest time but it's so hard because the Food Ave TL never follows through and hardly works.

She said "Target isn't happy with her performance" she feels ( Name of STL ) does not like me...

Though they gave her a choice. Go back to GSA with pay cut or stay and get fired when performance review comes out. They also said she was welcome to look for employment elsewhere

That sounds weird. Why would they give her a choice? Doesn't sound right to me.

 

[Xanatos]

Demoting her wouldn't work.
