TTOSeasonalTM: When I or any of the seasoned TMs give you helpful advice, and you actively ignore it, your performance suffers. That task taking forever? Gee, I wonder why. You're not making the final cut.

TTOFormerETL: You were usually a dick with zero people skills, but our team's performance suffered following your transfer to another store, and I'd be willing to bet that new store's team's performance spiked following your arrival. I heard through the grapevine that you quit Spot entirely. I hope you kick ass at whatever you do next.

TTOTM: Sorry to see you go so soon! I don't know why you suddenly became so social with me 2 days before your last day, but I really appreciated it. I barely got to know you in that time, yet those two days were the most engaging conversations I've ever had at work with Target, which means I actually will "miss" you. That's not an empty sentiment. I wish we could have chatted sooner. I meant to ask for your number after the LOD cashed you out, but I'm sure you saw the "troubled" guest I was busy with. Missed opportunity. Don't be a stranger! I hope you stop by sometime.
 
TTOLOD/ETL: Thank you for letting me leave in a rush yesterday when I said my grandma was rushed to the hospital. And thank you for asking how she was today. You are a cool dude.

TTOTM: Thanks for taking care of the SFS packing on your own so I could head to the hospital. I didn't wanna stick that on you but you told me you had it, and you'd ask LOD for help if need be, and to just go.
 
To those 4 NCNS Cashiers today: Please. If you aren't going to show up, fucking call ahead. I was supposed to have 4 opening cashiers, but only ONE showed up. So right off the bat, on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, I'm down 3 cashiers before the first half hour. By not taking responsibility and showing up for work, you set every single workcenter permanently behind because we had to have pretty much constant backup. You single-handedly ruined my day.

TTOETL-GE: You knew that one of my cashier quit several days ago, but you left him on the schedule anyways and didn't replace his shift. That made me 5 cashiers in total down. You somehow continue to surprise me with your incompetence.

TTOTL: I know you've said that's "just how you talk" when it seems like you're being rude to everyone but I think you'd realize if everyone else thinks you're being rude that maybe, just maybe, you should change your tone from time to time? I really don't enjoy feeling like I've done something wrong when working in your department.

This was the feedback I got through out my years of being a leader when I first started. I would cry and become frustrated because I was being told I was aggressive in my approach and showed my facial expressions. However, no one could give me real life/time examples as to what/how I said something. Finally I would let people know of this issue right away, and to please be blunt with me, because that was the only way i was going to get better at my communication. After 10+ years I still have to really think about what i am going to say and how before actually doing it. It's a headache.
 
TTOAPS: It's too bad the way that things ended up, but you're a bad ass girl so I'm sure that you'll land on your feet when you arrive in SoCal. Good luck in all your future ventures with your girlfriend.

TTOTPS: Congratulations on getting promoted to APS. You'll be great.

:O Did you not get the position?
 
To All Those Logistics TMs Working the Double Today:

Nailed it. I'm not even in a bad mood after my shift today. Let's have more days like that.
 
To that one tl, I rarely hear the good things from you, so when you said I did a great job on the men's zone (I separated all those slim straight charcoal navy and black haggar pants. They all look the same, guys), I was hype. So thank you.

My last ctl was constantly given his bearing as an opportunity. Sarcasm, quick whit, and a sour look even offstage are not cool. Even less on the floor and no amount of "I didn't mean it that way "when you snap is cool.

Of course he told me the save thing when his idiot newbie pa didn't want to take direction from me. Who knew a simple statement like "can you fill the onions when you go back out to the floor" is emotionally charged and can bring the baggage of every interaction you've ever had with a person?
 
To that one TM why do you get by with so much stuff?? You can parade around in short skirts so short and ETLS literally say nothing but if I did something like that I would be pulled in the office so fast my head would spin and you take 4o minute lunches again nothing but again if I did that I would get yelled at heck I got yelled at for being 1 minute late for my break but you no no it's okay!

Lunches are 45 minutes....
 
Lunches depend on state law, I think, no? Anyway, it's only 30 mins here so maybe it's the same where they are.

Either way, this TM was doing something wrong. From an HR perspective, a 5 minute short lunch is worse than a 5 minute long lunch (compliance and all that jazz.) From a performance perspective, a 5 minute long lunch can be worse than a 5 minute short lunch, especially on the front lanes where it can mess with the break schedule.
 
Ah, weird! Because in California, (where I am) the law says a 30 minute lunch is required for every 5 hours worked. Yet we still get 45. I think it's no less than 30, but no more than an hour or something like that.
 
TTOETL: You honestly scared me before yesterday! I was concerned when you pulled me aside to tell me you "needed to talk to me". But rather surprised when you offered me hours in a different area of the store, telling me that "every ETL wants to work with me". Thanks, you made me feel really great. :)

haha this happened to me. Our most intimidating, strict ETL called me on my day off a few days go. The minute I checked my voicemail and heard her voice, I freaked. But she wanted to offer me an extra shift :) Couldn't say to no to the OT, even though I'm working 6 days this week, 8 days straight total.
 
Yep in my neck of the woods lunches are 30 minutes and like I said if I did something like that yell yell yell something like you know you are late but this TM literally gets by with everything. She walks off lane whenever she wants ( guests will be coming) she says sorry I am I am closed and walks over to starbucks and talks to her friends or sometimes talks to guest service but again she's buddy buddy with everyone so's literally untouchable which makes it so annoying and no she's not on breaks she does what she wants!
