because the old way was a shining example of teamwork? Flow team overpushing and flexing. Salesfloor dumping backstock on backroom. Backroom bitching about pog batches.
THIS. ‘Nuff said.
Say goodbye to the days of being measured by how much truck you get pushed. And a team is only as strong as it’s weak TM.
This would work if there were actual team members scheduled. There are days when there has been only one in Softlines and one in Hardlines. What do you do then?
You’re right, it wasn’t perfect.
And you think a TL is going to fix this by doing tasks?? Things like this are one of many reasons why a TL should be supervising, auditing, planning, etc.
For my team it’s by department. Kitchen is one TM, for example. Stationary/party/office is one TM. Won’t elaborate more on my team in order to not expose myself/location. But my teams areas are prettt big. That’s why they are getting nearly 40 hours a week per TM.
This will be changing completely in a few weeks. Just wait.
We aren’t. To be fair, I don’t think you guys get paid enough either. Once we hit $15, yes.
Of course and I do these things all the time. Some days, more than half my shift. I do need to point out, however, that everything you just mentioned is in regards to truck push. As a TL, a FOOD Team Lead, that’s maybe half of what I need to worry about. I’m not sure you are aware of what it takes to be TL.
Funny how half of the bad attitude TMs complain that we are on their backs on the floor and the other half complain about running the store via walkie.
Exactly. It’s impossible to start and completely finish a big project or task as a TL
Low volume, high volume or in between? ASANTS. There are times I want to throttle the Inbound TL for lack of giving a SHIT. It's a literal shit show and Inbound TM's still act like Flow. Upper management can't manage payroll cause the Inbound team takes precedent. Inbound team is and will not "Do More." I can truly say it's been like this for 6 mo now and we are not fully modernized yet. We are trying but unless you get Team members to care and I mean all of them then it's an uphill battle. Not sure how long it'll take to get the right people hired or get current team members onboard and on the same page. Same goes for the TL's of the store.
Going to try and elaborate without revealing too many identifying specifics, as we are pretty much leading the pack with this stuff.
HR got a little cut-happy and accidentally reduced one of the daily shifts to 4 hours one week. Jesus Christ was that interesting 😂
Until logistics is completely dissolved, something has to give as I need all of their payroll before that can work. By doing the preties as early as possibly the transition product is easy to sort as it arrives. They literally set it aside and I palletize it wrap it and put it in the steel. 15 minutes to save my team hours or picking through repacks when they set it? Yeah, I’ll take on my GVP about that if they ask.
