MEGATHREAD 2018-2019 Store Modernization Megathread

[papaalahuacaina]

Anyone else read the June addendum?

Do you or anybody else have screenshots or the file to look at it?

 

[Yetive]

I've read it. It's right on workbench, papaalahuacaina.

Anyone else read the June addendum?

Yes
Edit: We keep being reminded of these Addendums we need to read but when SD is questioned about specifics, the SD claims ignorance. The SD does not lead by example. They all want to be spoon fed, at least that is how it is at my store.

 

[Rarejem]

yes

 

[busyzoningtoys]

lol because I have time to read the addendum

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Yes

 

[No I in Team]

Yes

Spill the beans. I'm not at Spot and getting access to a terminal at the store is virtually impossible since they removed the "extra" ones a year ago.

 

[JAShands]

I’ve been printing the addendums and putting them in a binder for anyone to read. I’ll also print out copies for anyone that would like them 🙃

What was the June Addendum all about?

 

[DeadEnd]

New schedule control by headquarter and more payrolls cut.

 

[SoftlinesSquirrel]

You've got me curious on this now. Where on workbench would we find out about the June Addendum?

New schedule control by headquarter and more payrolls cut.

Can you elaborate on that?

 

[countingsheep]

Havent read it dont think i want to now -_-

 

[BullseyeBabe]

For one thing, now we’re going to have service advocates and checkout advocates. At least that is the way that the guest advocates will be scheduled.

 

[Anelmi]

So they are changing things a bit? Service advocates are GS centered and checkout advocates are strictly cashiers?

 

[Bullseyes]

In my store we have 5-6 Plano experts who do Plano and are scheduled in designated areas when there are no hours.

Modernization has worked in my store, and I agree my backroom is cleaner since we don’t leave the backstock or trash for other teams.

I see a major flaw with “GoCart” (SAPs replacement) only being accessible to ETL/SD/PML. How the hell am I supposed to order all the stuff I order supply wise?

 

[wonkatonka]

June addendum is readable by anyone, it was the Q1, Q2 overall addendums that are only readable by the SD.

 

[No I in Team]

New schedule control by headquarter and more payrolls cut.

This means our operational expenses are not in line with the current financial plan. Not good at all for a company of our size.

 

[JAShands]

The monthly addendums cover everything happening for the month. New roll outs and initiatives, brand launches, storewide trainings, specialty trainings (mostly for beauty), events and demos, transitions/POGs/refreshes, giveaways, and changes to our programs like the new Workday rollout and POS rollout (here’s looking at you, June week 5).

It’s interesting to read about what’s going on in your area as well as other areas you might not normally get to see. It’s easy enough to skim through if you view it in print mode.

Not every TM is given time on the clock to sit at the computer and read it though. I'm curious what "new schedule control by headquarters" means in a practical sense and I'm unlikely going to have the time while working to look at the document.

 

[Times Up]

For one thing, now we’re going to have service advocates and checkout advocates. At least that is the way that the guest advocates will be scheduled.

Well, for the same money, I'd prefer to be a checkout advocate rather than the service advocate that I apparently am.

Ok so before Jack and myself have a conversation since he seems to be an understanding fellow can I get some feedback🥴 So my SD came up with this lovely timeline of 4 hours to zone, pull, push, backstock, price accuracy and salesplanners but my unload team ( most are scheduled 4 hours ) usually use 3 hours to unload our trucks which are an average of 2200 but still assign my team as DBO's which gives them an hour to do the above. How does everyone else schedule for inbound and GM1 cause he is stuck on stupid and doesn't get my argument

Maybe he should just observe and see how stupid he is.
