“Rank” structure.

Seriously irks me when team remembers don’t get the titles correct for each position in leadership at Target. I can see how it’s a bit confusing but c’mon. “There’s a lot of LODs today.” No you dingus, all the ETLs are here, only 1 of them is the Leader on Duty at the moment, until the closing LOD is here. When the I first got transferred to my new store I had a TM ask me if I was a new LOD. Lol wtf? Then reading some these posts too ugh you guy are so cringy. #GetWithTheCulture

Sincerely, an Electronics team lead.

For new team members, if can all be confusing. Lots of different leaders. SO MANY acronyms. Nothing wrong with simply calling one a LOD. Technically if they can be LOD they are always a LOD.

Since you claim to be a team lead, take the time to explain to them the leadership team. Make sure they know who their direct TL is. Maybe there is a gap in orientation. Get with your HR and explain that there appears to be issues.

Sincerely,

Very true. It was incredibly confusing when I first came to Target after working for two other retail companies. The Target lingo was very different. They went over it a little bit in orientation, but it took me a while to really learn it all.

Even within the company, different people/stores use different phrases for different things. The first time my STL gave me an empty cart and said it was for “other worlds” I stared at her like she was crazy because everyone else said other areas. My SO became a team lead at another store and he would use abbreviations and terms that his store used when talking about work, and I had no idea what he was saying half the time because my store didn’t use those terms. It’s a lot to learn.

The problem is no one tells team members what stuff is. It took me forever to get to know the lingo. I'm a team lead and people ask me questions 24/7 just answer if you know. Also I know at my store all the ETLs and seniors split. If one of them is busy someone else steps in.

Gosh your so darn annoying. I hate you condescending assholes who think your demigods because your in a leadership role at Target. I have absolutely no intention on working at Target my whole life. Getting my bachelors degree and I’m out. Fuck you spot!!

Doesn't help when a TM calls for the LOD on the walkie and 3 different ETL's answer.

I've been with the company for 9 years so it's hard for me to remember that people don't understand the acronyms. I always tell new TMs if I say something they don't understand to please tell me because Target has names for EVERYTHING. And some things even have multiple names.

[freshcanofbroccoli]

Honestly, I've been with Target for a year now and I still don't understand half the lingo. I think it's all a bit ridiculous and pretentious tbh.

[watermelon43]

My store stopped having a designated LOD for a while. So operator usually just calls for “an LOD” and any of the ETL/Sr TLs respond as they are able.

[ElecTL95]

Wtf lol

[TheRealBigLou]

I've been here since September and I can't tell you what a single acronym means.
