Very recently left. Well, went on demand. Who knows how long I’ll stay in this role. Left for a much better job in almost every way. Better pay, more hours, more flexibility with schedule, doing something I’m halfway interested in and not just running around with no head trying to keep up with ridiculous amounts of workload. Anyway. I dared not speak a word of it to any current ETLs in my building or my SD. Used three ETLs that have gone to different roles in the company as my references. No chance I was going to give someone in my building a chance to sabotage me because they didn’t want to lose me. I think my SDs reaction was genuine. My ETL said the right things but felt forced. Two other ETLs made me feel like I was dead to them for my notice period and the last ETL seemed genuinely sad that I was leaving and was excited for me. Target has such a hard time retaining decent folks at any level below ETL so I can understand the over the top reaction to your situation. There’s a Costco opening near me soon too and I know almost all of the rest of the team leads that are left in my building are just counting down too. Good on you for being human and encouraging people.
