Archived How are ETL's LIke Religious Zealots?

[Kartman]

THEY CAN'T BE REASONED WITH.

 

[redeye58]

They consider their word gospel.

 

[2Spooky4U]

Sometimes they touch you and make you very uncomfortable.

 

[Kartman]

Step away from the jug!!!

 

[BullseyeBlues]

Can give one sided talks for hours on end and still think people are listening to them.

 

[can't touch this]

A belief in miracles

"Let's push a 2300/250 truck in 4 hours with 5 people lol"

 

[Kartman]

They believe that the TM actually was responsible for "making the sales" in their area.

 

[unknown]

They expect people to do a better job then they could do themselves.

 

[MOVEbatch]

The "advice" they offer you is just the same trite thing repeated over and over and it's not actually helpful.

 

[tellmeaboutatime]

Like robots, after trying to explain a process they have no clue about, the cock their heads and say "Does that make sense". At that point you walk away using every ounce of self control not to answer.

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or if you are all just sad people.

 

[Kartman]

You must be an ETL.

The truth hurts.

Allow this thread to enlighten you.

I've had some great etls. I've had some awful etls. Just like there are great employees and awful employees everywhere.

My main issue with Target is that they are hell bent on hiring from outside the company for the ETL position.

So they get people who 1) don't know the jobs 2) have no interest in learning the jobs 3) couldn't do the jobs themselves 4) can't tell you how to do a better job.

It's not a personal thing. But I really have an issue with someone getting paid more than me who doesn't even know how to put up backer paper. Yet the same person will tell me how long I have to do a pog. I can read an adjacency. I also have the experience to know reality.

"And CTT, when he came out, saw many TMs, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as unemployed workers not having a job; and He began to teach them many things.

And when the day was now far spent, the ETLs came unto Him, and said, this is first quarter, and now the time is far passed: Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and apply for jobs elsewhere: for they have no hours.

But He answered and said unto them, Give ye them more hours. And they said unto Him, Shall we go and give out sixty thousand hours of payroll, and give them to work? And He saith unto them, how many hours have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they said, five, and two shifts.

And He commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon chairs in the breakroom. And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties. And when He had taken the five hours and the two shifts, He looked up to Minneapolis, and blessed, and brake the hours, and gave them to the ETLs to set before them, and the two shifts divided he among them all.

And they did all work, and were paid. And afterwards the ETLs took up twelve baskets full of leftover hours, and of the shifts. And they that did work the hours were about five hundred TMs."

There's a couple of ETLs that I would let touch me all day.

 

[Kartman]

The two that give me the most static are freaking beautiful.

Go figure!

 

[Times Up]

The lack of empathy they ( not all) show when TMs look for more hours so they can pay their rent in full.

 

[Kartman]

For sure not all - just most.

Lemme transfer, fam.

I really don’t always think it’s a lack of empathy. We’re only given so many hours and have to make it. An ETL really doesn’t have any say in how many hours they get.

I understand the lack of hours, but not the lack of empathy. Also, ETLs get input into how the hours are divided up, at least in my store.
