Hi all,
I was just wondering about market best practices. Since I'm from Target Canada things might be different, but I just wanna get everyone's opinion on this.
I've been having trouble in determining my role as Market/consumables TM. When we opened (to guests) we did not have an ETL Hardlines and only 1 TL Hardlines which was taking over for ETL until we hired someone. During this time I was writing dairy orders, dealing/calling/emailing(w/reverse log's email since I don't have my own) vendors, doing walks/audits with HQ and calling TMs in if I needed help (Only had 2 market TMs, now a 3rd for a couple hrs) on top of pushing/backstocking/assisting guests. All the while working ~20-25hrs/week. I brought my concerns over my role during a review with my STL and ETLHR and was told by both that this is all covered under Best Practice (according to my job description sheet given when hired[sales floor TM]) and my performance has been subpar. I then went to HRBP. For awhile, my TL hardlines and the new ETL hardlines took over those responsibilities (poorly) but have since fallen back on me after several talks with my STL. It seems the only change is now I get more recognition in huddles and more 4hr shifts (but still having to do all that^). Is all this covered under best practice for TMs?
Sorry, I wasn't sure if to post this in "I'm Lost" or in "Target, eh?" since I work for Target Canada (there doesn't seem to be much action in Target, eh).
