Archived What did you get?

[busyzoningtoys]

Shockingly, DEO club here. Was told very carefully that the review period was specific and that I spent the vast majority of that period in my previous role, and that because I was getting a 6% raise on my TL pay because of my previous performance as a TM, that I pretty much have to ‘live up’ to this score now.

Pleasant surprise, but new pressure to keep meeting these growing expectations.

So, how’d you guys do?

Whatever the middle is, I don't remember the new acronyms. My raise was a whopping $.30.

I'm going to repost something I posted several years ago regarding the current scale for raises compared to the scale in the early 2000s:

Funny thing happened recently, I was cleaning out an old file box and found all of my old reviews. Here's how raises used to be:

90 days, scored a 77 out of possible 89 points - $.30
Promoted to specialist 3 months later - $1.00
First annual review, 84 out of 100 - $.50
Second annual review, 87 out of 100 - $.50
Promoted to TL 8 months later - $2.00 (note, this was promotion from specialist to TL. TM to TL was $3)
A review was generated at the same time with a prorated raise, 86 out of 100 - $.33
First annual review after becoming a TL, 82 out of 100, $.60

There was another raise after that but I was on LOA and it was prorated based on how many months I was working that year. I don't know the score or the amount and it was my last before I had quit. When I started working at Target again, we had switched to the "everyone in the whole store is reviewed at the same time" system and only ~10 people in the whole store can get anything above an E and only 1 person in the whole store gets an O.

What I got (and my raise) didn't matter becauss I got promoted the same week.

DEO. 1.55

 

[BleacherSeats]

DEO 7.5%

 

[busyzoningtoys]

DEO 7.5%

I’m guessing that, as your title suggests, you’re an ETL lol since 5% is the max for TMs and 6% is the max for TLs; interesting to learn ETLs get up to 7.5% 😛

 

[EatPlanoLove]

ETLs can get higher I got 9%

 

[Backroom81]

DEO. 1.55

Are you saying you got a $1.55 raise? That would mean you were already making ~$25 an hour.

 

[Leo47]

Still haven’t gotten ours : )

 

[Pikachu Libre]

I haven't gotten mine either.

I haven't gotten mine either.

Check your pay statement on eHR, there’s a chance your raise is already effective on your upcoming check.

Can anyone tell me what the new acronyms mean?

From my understanding, 6% was the highest possible raise for hourly TLs. Are other stores getting higher bumps?

edit: Or is this including the bump in base pay?

I was told no bump in TL base pay this time, perhaps with the next TM base bump though.

((Well this ended up being a weird rant! 😕))


DIO. Got a .35 cent raise which was wiped out by moving the starting wage up to $12/hr.

So I’ve been here 3yrs, had a DEO review last year and discussed the possibility of promoting to TL, and have busted my ass for 3yrs, but I’ll be making the same as the shittiest TM in the building. Fan-fucking-tasting.

I deserved the DIO this year- I’m not upset about that at all. I’ve been told by everyone that my work ethic is DEO, but my attendance (tardiness, not call-offs) is atrocious, so that knocks me down. I totally own that. But the fact that Target just views all TMs as warm bodies filling a role, no different from the next guy...that pisses me off. The work ethic is VASTLY different across TMs and the pay should reflect that. It’s gonna be hard to stay motivated to keep going above and beyond. But then again, maybe that’s the point? Maybe these jobs really don’t want people to go above and beyond? They’re supposed to be ‘starter jobs’ that you grow out of, so maybe the entire TM position is just training for the ‘real world’ ((although that argument sucks because our economy has forced a lot of people into making careers out of ‘starter jobs’)) Maybe they (corporate) genuinely don’t care if TMs really bust their ass...just don’t be terrible and you’ll be fine? Maybe they’d rather invest in systems and technology than invest in their employees? Honestly, as much as I disagree with that, it makes everything make a lot more sense. We’re not worth the hassle of genuinely gauging and rewarding work ethic and the value of individual employees. They probably believe they get more of a return on their time/financial investment in overhauling systems/processes and rolling out new technology than they would by TRULY investing in their employees beyond simply throwing a flat $15 to everyone by 2020, while simultaneously cutting hours and destroying morale.

I’ve been trying to get the courage to leave Target for the past year, so I actually walked away from the review feeling better than when I went in- it was the push I needed to get serious about my future. This place is a total dead end for me and isn’t an environment that supports my mental health, so why continue to subject myself to something that just tears and wears me down? During my review I mentioned that I’m wanting to leave (sounds like a dumb move but I’ve got a really good relationship with my TL) and he told me I need to figure my plans out NOW and start making moves, otherwise I’ll get sucked back in and stay stuck, just endlessly spinning my wheels and feeling miserable.

We’ve got several TLs in the same position- they’ve topped out and make enough money that they feel obligated/forced to stay, but at the same time they’re sick of the BS and want to leave. They seem to handle it pretty well, but I just don’t have the mental strength to handle retail long-term. I’ll probably end up staying at Spot for a while while going to school but I can see the path out of the disaster now, you know?

I think a lot of TMs and even TLs will be agreeing with your rant. I do.

DEO with a 5% raise. Came out to 40 something cents which was overrided by new minimum of $12.

 

[toredandkhaki]

Surprisingly DEO, AND 5%, but since I'm not a modernization area, I will make 40 cents less than new hires for beauty and style. But I'm expected now to "Captain" an area til our remodel..fml.

25.85

 

[COextraordinaire]

I’m in district 300 if it matters, and I usually am the last person to get reviewed (always forgotten). Seriously one year, they asked me to do the Great Team Survey before they gave me my review.

What paycheck does the raise show up in this year? Most years I actually find my raise in my pay stub before my review.

 

[Leonhart621]

DEO 6%

In less than 4 months I got a $5 raise

 

[AKADuchess]

I was told no bump in TL base pay this time, perhaps with the next TM base bump though.

I got a bump in mine on top of my DIO. ASANTS

Also found out that with the universal TM bump to 12, that our new hires are now only brought in at 11 and 11.50
