[Ashfromoldsite]

gsa And pog tl is going away. Not gstl. Gstl along w all other tls except for closing tl and inbound tl, have to work mid shifts.

 

[jngansgas]

@Ashfromoldsite Oh so just a 12-8 but same position? That sucks I have enjoyed my opening shifts! But thank you!

I have read an early mid and late mid. So maybe 10-6:30 and 12-8:30. Asants

I was curious because I've been a GSTL for 3 years and was wondering for thats one of the disappearing roles

GSTL is pretty much the only TL role that isn't changing besides schedule.

 

[jngansgas]

@Ashfromoldsite I wonder if this is why we haven't gotten review raises back yet. Usually we get them before the team members get theirs. Does this new role out have anything to do with pay?

We can agree to disagree. I can just speak for my store. I have been doing this MANY years and we shut off the lights when we leave at night. No it doesn’t have anything to do with arming the store but the option to turn off the lights is on the alarm panel at my store and gets done at the same time as arming the building. Like another poster said- 15 minutes after that the store goes completely dark. We have just a few lights on and the lights are on but dimmed between the inner doors and outer doors. When the opening LOD walks in the lights kick on to the 50% or so until 8am. I have been the opening LOD many times to see this as well as have come in with my exec at 2am and they’ve kicked back on when we walked in. Of course maybe store’s alarm panels aren’t the same or their districts don’t have them turn off the lights at night but ours does.

We turn off the lights at close at my store too. The function to do so is also on the alarm panal.

Got a nice speech about how as team leads we are expected to do the work of Etl’s now, that’s cute and all where’s the $$$$ lmao

Got the same speech...ugh

No. You have no gsa's & empowered cashiers. Search the threads for more info.
Thanks

[jngansgas]

@Hardlinesmaster year I read the other threads but was more interested in my specific role. That's why I asked. Thanks

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Will GSTLs be the exception to this upcoming change with modernization?

Due to the fact the GSA position is being eliminated, how can GSTLs only be mids and not have open/close coverage? Who’s supposed to open the lanes and close the lanes and watch the front actively during those times? Sounds like a recipe for disaster, tbh. Rumor has it too that the override...

Assume nothing. Here is another thread.

Does empowered cashiers mean supervisor access? If not, and it’s early morning and late night with no GSTL does that mean LOD has to override stuff?

Could be. No extra pay.

 

[Amanda Cantwell]

Could be.

To which lol

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

To which lol

No extra pay.

 

[NKG]

I can't wait. I might actually show up with popcorn to see how heated the other TLs get over this. Basically means I continue to get fucked over for more pay 👍🏻

 

[Tainted Kool aid]

So they want TLs to walk around with Starbucks or sit in the office all day? I might like this modernization after all.

All for the privilege of keeping our jobs.

For everyone chiding me for getting more hours than you, this should improve at least a little once this all officially rolls out. Remember, logistics and it’s payroll move to the sales floor. Front end will shave some payroll with the whole ‘everyone doing everything’ + no GSAs. Also, they don’t push or do anything with candy or endcaps or Bullseye. Lastly, and the amount of benefit you see from this will be very ASANTS (lol), with ‘no more lod’, the ETLs are supposed to be working much more in their areas. Subracting for meetings and Starbucks-buying, that’s 30-40 hours a week of help per ETL right there. I know today, our specialty ETL spent their day setting electronics pogs. The whole zone-as-you-go thing is supposed to allow for less people working at night. Those hours will move to open/mid. Price change now salvages when new sets go up, that’s less time that the price change process will use since it doesn’t stay out needing continuous merchandising, marking down, zoning etc.

This is gonna suck, and most seem to be victims of executives that can’t look past the old ways of allocating payroll, but for those of you who are either piloting or have been gradually implementing the changes, it shouldn’t get worse.

Another variable is, when this rolls out, we don’t know if there will be any kind of payroll changes in terms of amount. I do know there will he added hours for training all TMs on the process.

Did you ask them if we do what ETLs do.... what do the ETLs do now lol

So no more markdowns? Everything goes straight to salvage?

 

[busyzoningtoys]

They went quicker. I was too stressed and busy to keep track of how much so, but I think we saved at least a week or two’s worth of that shit being clearance.

 

[jenna]

Goes salvage the week OF the set, not the week after - or two weeks after.

Moving clearance sucks when doing a set, but moving shoe clearance really sucks when trying to set shoes. Hopefully, this will help.

ONE ! Seriously? Geez.
Where do the others go ?
Such secrecy.
Got to have news soon.

That’s only a loss of one ETL
