Sounds like you're experiencing more than most, but yeah, kind of a hot mess at my store too.

From what I heard, this was how it was supposed to work. All the stores, high and low volume, have to do price change and POGs. It's not like low volume stores are going to get unload and push hours like high volume stores do.

Hmm, I just requested a transfer, still waiting to hear a status update. But the SD at that store already knows me (he was promoted from my store, which is smaller). Is this a requirement for every transfer?

A TL at my store told me it was paused, maybe because there were glitches that had to be worked out?

If you left on good terms, sure. It's been long enough since I saw the application, but standard in other industries anyway asked for 3 professional and 3 personal recommendations. You could be either of those, if you actually know how that person is on the job. If you don't, limit it to personal.

Yeah, TLs at my store are announcing on the walkie before store opening and individually asking TMs who start after the store opens if anyone wants to leave early has become commonplace the last couple weeks. Not replacing hours if TMs call off. Shoved out the door at scheduled out time. Not...

That's usually their motivation behind practically everything. But how would changing the font save money? Especially if it leaves a digit off the location? Sometimes :-/ I think they don't really think these things through.

We've noticed this at my store too. It isn't a problem for some areas that don't have a lot of DPCIs on one shelf. But if the product position is a double digit, it's an issue. Also, the font is smaller and I think harder to read. Why are they fixing something that isn't broken?

We still had multiple days of food brought in for Thanksgiving weekend and the weekends just before Christmas last year. Maybe Dec. 26 also. And there's usually pizza for TMs who work inventory. But we used to have food for no special reason when we had a different leadership team. Sometimes, it...

Ours came from a store not far, a major regional competitor, because my store isn't a super Target. They were pretty good.

Oh wow, this will be me and probably not that far away from now. The SD we've had for a few months now is throwing his weight around a little more and people are getting ticked off. I've had one run-in with him. I know there have been others. Some really good TMs are already gone (enough that...

Then there's how it seems like Target sort of cared about its people, but that's gone. A big sheet cake for all that month's birthdays, frequent treats in the break room, grilled burgers and hotdogs for holidays - I hired in on Flow and we were always hungry. :-) Not sure when it all went away...

I hope OTC doesn't have a major transition - the last one wasn't small. And I'm not sure what I think about the possibility of the 64" gondolas going away. I see positives and negatives.

Because we have an HR ETL who gets twitchy about these things. They get twitchy about a lot of things but this is one of the few where there are real penalties possible because of state law. When we bring on seasonal TMs, there are daily announcements over walkie about it. Long time ago, before...

Isn't this dependent on state law? In my state, we have to take our lunch before starting our sixth hour. I typically take my lunch at 5 1/2 and no one gets after me about it. (The break room is quieter and less crowded so I can read my book in peace.)
