Archived I hate Target... ETL, just put in my 2 weeks, AMA

HOLY BUCKETS is this store going to the sh**tter.

There are so so many fantastic ideas coming out when it comes to end to end, raising wages, putting investment back into recruiting, etc. but the leadership is given no support to implement these ideas, and results are expected overnight.

Are you pressured to have the backroom 100% every day? Or is that not part of your duties?

 

[AshHRbullseye]

I am an HR ETL, but yes, we definitely are. Our store is one of the best performing in my eastern district, so we have a close eye from upper management. As a closing LOD, we’re pressured to get backroomclean, but we’ll often leave a few vehicles that weren’t backstocked, and a rack or two of SL.

I'm in a LV store and we're struggling. At first no one mentioned it due to the learning curve associated with change. However, the reality of these changes and the unrealistic expectations have now surfaced. The mood is getting ugly and were just at the stage of denial.

We're not getting applicants for attrition let alone 4th Qtr help either.

These "ideas" were not beta tested for time and practicality, let alone profitability. Don't think so, just read through the posts and threads.

Do the ETLs have a chance to earn bonuses? If so, how are they earned?

THAT'S top secret shit.

Yeah, I agree. It would almost be easier if I totally disagreed with the concepts, but I don’t. They’ll absolutely make Target a better brand but like... you can’t just expect things to “happen”.

Have a feeling ain't NOBODY seeing a bonus THIS year.

Yes, they do. They come annually, just like TMs, but are based off of both your performance and the stores performance. Your metrics are analyzed as well. My bonus last year was ~$750. I have heard rumors that STLs bonuses can be $5k-$10k.

True about the STL bonuses- sometimes higher
