The POGs they gave us for Derm and Acne A and B are identical to each other. They've clearanced out all the product from the acne aisle (I don't remember whether that was A or B) and if we were to proceed, we'd have two aisles of CeraVe, Cetaphil, etc. mirroring each other. We're assuming this...

Don't be someone's hookup for a perk they didn't earn. If they want that 10%, they can apply for a job at Target. If enough people abuse a privilege, that privilege gets shat upon for everyone. See: toothpaste and shampoo merchandised in lockups. So help me God, if I ever find myself having to...

Hold on, I think they’re still tweaking it…I’m able to batch labels, but now I can’t do anything else from the POG details screen? EDIT: All options from the POG details screen (non-retail, line listing, etc.) appear only AFTER you’ve clicked all the way through “finalize planogram.” Welp...

So we just got the Set update. Am I an idiot, or is there no longer a way to manually, voluntarily batch ALL labels for a POG? Or do we have to just accept whatever batch type the system decides to give us and then go through the line listing and print any other labels we need one by one...

And don't you all just LOVE having to slash the capacity of every single fucking DPCI when setting feature tables (NYX and MUR at my store) because the default capacities apply to standards cosmetics fixtures?

Anyone know whether there is any meaningful talk of fixing the way set completion % is calculated? Will we ever see the day when a 16-hour+ mega-overhaul of an entire wall carries more weight toward that metric than a bloody sidecap? And while I'm at it, could they kindly consider breaking any...

In some ways, this was a relief. My entire store has been so, so far behind on freight and with SFS shut off for the day, there was nothing for inbound, salesfloor and fulfillment to do except push, and in one morning/early afternoon the store was transformed into gallery of shit people had...

If you request FMLA (which you can do through the LeavePro portal via eHR), nobody at your store can deny it to you, Q4 or not. Decisions regarding FMLA leave are handled by an outside team. If you can get your doctor to fill out some paperwork attesting you need time off work for your...

It's really come to the point where we might as well station "courtesy carts" around the store where lazy hurried guests can drop off things they've decided not to buy. Maybe that would cut down on stuff being discarded in random aisles or clogging up Guest Services...or not...

I imagine they'll have you do fulfillment regardless of where you're scheduled "on paper." It's not unlikely someone thought they were being clever stacking the schedule for fulfillment using other workcenters' payroll. In which case, you're going to be one of many, many TMs digging through...

As far as being kind-of-guaranteed full-time hours goes, I can't say it enough: join Presentation Team, weather the oft-sinusoidal learning curve, and become Irreplaceable!

Yep. Multiple times daily, all over the store. Something about lipstick and pigs comes to mind.

The "lulz, I'm not printing all that" issue seems to affect labels for DPCIs with multiple locations on the POG. Happy hand-batching from the line listing (and hopefully you're lucky enough to be allowed to back-button to the line listing instead of getting dumped to the Scan screen and having...

Me, too. I've invested far too many years in honing the skill of mentally rotating images about the Y-axis to accept its obsolescence! Damn kids today, won't know what it was like to set a POG uphill both ways...
