Con: Somehow guests have the ability to designate a leader to call. Annoying as hell trying to unload a truck and guests are calling.

They're usually pretty decent about pre-tying on time, but missed a lot at the end of Q4, so we're struggling with lots of NPT at the moment, Toys, ODL, Valentine's Candy. They set early wherever they can, but that's the exception rather than the rule, usually within a day or 2 (early/late)...

Oh, they still ghost tie to meet their metrics when they're behind. Our compromise to ease frustration for Inbound was to tie it to an obvious section, say (50), that doesn't exist in that aisle. That way we immediately know we can straight backstock it and not waste time searching for something...

Our store isn't, only in dire conditions, say if we got slammed with a heavy front load and had a bunch of callouts to where it wouldn't be feasible to waste bodies on something being set a few weeks out and we didn't want it clogging the back. TL's can make that call themselves, but we have to...

DC policy now is to basically heavily front load the trucks for upcoming transitions. You basically get a metric buttload of product in for departments that won't be set for 2-3 weeks out, so it all has to be deboxed and backstocked. You have to be able to coordinate with your other shift...

Dom and Home Decor are coming in heavy, can see that then. We knew it was coming a week ago, so we informed our counterparts that it was coming heavy and we didn't have the manpower to get it all pushed in 1 night, and sorted them on to pallets and let them know we'd need their help. We're still...

They won't be pushing it (at least not all of it), your team in other shifts will push it. They know exactly what the goal times are and if your shift isn't long enough to cover that goal time, they shouldn't be expecting you to complete it and will have alternate plans in place. At least our...

Considering you were the only TM to get a CA, and as a result of cussing out the receiver, I'd say that's about right. Target does not treat that level of discourse lightly. You're probably lucky it was just a CA depending on what was said and your demeanor during the interaction. I'd imagine AP...

That's certainly not the way to get more hours. They know exactly what's coming down the pipe.

It's in Greenfield, best to do it on the computer. If you haven't worked in Greenfield, get someone to help you. If it's not empty, just pull the product out, push it, and backstock after if floor is full.

Basically, you scan each carton and it tells you whether it's push or backstock, which then goes to the appropriate vehicle. It went away ~5(?) years ago in favor of push all. No idea why they're bringing it back, as it means you have to set aside line space for backstock for those departments...

It's a Greenfield report that tells you where your empty locations are in the back room. Take that report and verify that the locations are in fact, empty. If not, challenge the product out and backstock as appropriate.

We couldn't even defect at all.

Guessing HR just needs to key you for the other departments, not sure if ETL's can do that themselves. That's HR's only responsibility I would think, they're not there to hunt down hours for you. That's on you to watch for shifts that are put up.

Our HR ETL will bend over backwards as much as they can to help the Team with any issues/problems they may have. At the end of the day though, they can only do so much, and Target's policies may restrict how much they can do before they have to say no more. Seems like a weird thing to say...
