Distribution is different than hq. Distribution gets an allocation of merit roles based on headcount and forecasts each year. This allows them to year over year decrease numbers in roles. These roles have been decreasing the past couple years already

There are multiple reasons, but in this case it’s because there were too many distributions allocated to 185 stores.

Canceled labels=canceled cartons sent to a store because the store didn’t really need it

The warehouse drop (reserve cartons picked to send to ob) was 3x what the forecast was for that day. Meaning, if hq forecasted 100k cartons that day, it was 300k, which would’ve crazy.

From what I saw on Reddit, there were Apollo issues and the whs drop was 300% to forecast.

Your site is decreasing merit roles and support om’s?

I don’t think anything is “up”. There is simply a ton of pressure on all levels of management. More is being asked and there are less OMs to accomplish those asks (at least in our dc). There used to be 2 oms per department and now there is only one with more expected to be done.

Your om’s should be getting a prep packet from hr and it is their responsibility to ensure you are prepped correctly. If they are not they are doing you a disservice and their peers that are doing the interview.

I think there was a site or 2 that out cartons into reusable pods. Different process than rss but using the same pods

I’m surprised it took so long to ditch AR. Didn’t seem to save the amount of hours at stores as they thought it would. It only made the rest of the building less efficient.

Targets Corp score was 87. I believe it would be difficult if not impossible to get a 6% bonus even if you were an upper right. As for raises there are different factors that are accounted for. Some being performance, where the tm is (salary wise) with peers, what kind of budget was allotted, etc

I’m not sure which DCs have multiple OMs per department, but sign me up! At our DC, each key is down at least 1 OM and with the reduction of headcount over the last year+, each department has 1 OM with the “flex” basically training any new OM of covering what vacation they allow us to take...

It has to be approved, it isn’t automatically approved. I would imagine if the dc is in it mode, they wouldn’t approve it

To L5’s get a comp day for Christmas even though the dc is closed? I thought we do, but b2 has to use it for Christmas Eve as the building closes after b1. Anyone know for sure?

Probably not. Just like the “yellow belt” training. It’s useless outside of target.
