MEGATHREAD 2018-2019 Store Modernization Megathread

[NewKidGSTL]

I do let the corresponding TL'S know; unfortunately, they don't take it very seriously.

You can’t really be blamed for that then. You can’t performance someone not in your work center 🤷🏾‍♀️ Not sure about you but myself and the other SETL have to write weekly emails to all the leads, I’d put that info in there and print it out sling with any replies. Paper trail.

My ehr is going around telling team members that Target is getting rid of closers, I hope that isn’t true.

That wouldn't work very well at my store; evenings are when we are the busiest.

You mean getting rid of the Closing Expert position? Because how can we function without closing TMs? That's nuts, the stores will look like crap.

 

[BackroomOG14]

Can we not just go back to $11 an hour and give us more hours to actually run a business? $15 an hour sounds great and all but did people really think theyd be keeping their 40 hours a week?!

 

[Anelmi]

This whole process may work in lower volume stores...

Not working in lower volume stores either. The suits came through and said "we know payroll sucks but you gotta get it done anyway" Mmmmmkay.

 

[moninity]

If it is true about no closers than theft is about to skyrocket when the guest find out.

If so, I would bail. I prefer higher pay, fewer hours.

I wouldn't bail, but I too prefer higher pay, fewer hours, as it makes my time having to be there more efficient I can be there less but get paid the same as if I were there more.

 

[Tessa120]

Are you getting paid the same though? If the hours cut that goes hand in hand with hourly raises is too steep then you make less than if you were there longer at a lower wage.

 

[seasonaldude]

My hours haven't gone down. Yet, I'm still working a lot harder. Give me the increased pay. Now, please.

 

[SweatyMess]

I'm a TL, hours havent moved, but also haven't seen any extra money while taking on 3x workload with much less hours and workforce. Hard time micromanaging like they want because there arent enough hours on salesfloor to get workload done.

 

[SweatyMess]

I can see Spot doing this and just having closing duties incorporated into DBO routines and just having everything pushed later. In their eyes it would be them freeing up roughly what 15-21 hrs GM and 20+ SL? at least like 50 hrs a day. Im not agreeing with it, it would already add to the megawork load but this is how they would view it.

 

[SallyHoover]

I really think they should start TM at $13-14 and then have an end of probation evaluation at 60 extendable to no more than 90 days and either cut them or make them regular and increase salary to $15. A decent tm at 90 days can do 85%+ of the job of a longer term team member. A new team member is doing less than 50% of an experienced team member and if their attendance is crappy even less. There has to be some incentive to do the hard work involved.

 

[flow4areasonuno]

Was actually excited for the new schedule. When it went up I had about 20 hours on it. Now? 12. Still more than I've had in ages but jesus h. christ could they not get my hopes up like that?

I wonder what happened to the hours budget.

 

[JAShands]

March is worse than February this year. I’m at a ULV and we average 2100/week (up to 3400/week thanksgiving to Christmas). March is mostly 1800/weeks but one week we drop down to 1700/week. With 10 TLs that will take about 380 hours we’ll have about 1300 hours left for about 82 TMs. It’s going to suck worse before it gets less terrible. BTS will be fun this year.

 

[BoxCutter]

My ETL said they have never seen March hours be so low.

 

[ThatAPguy]

I hear there is a new modernization guide that the SD’s just got. Anyone get a look at it yet?

 

[Yetive]

There is. I have not.

 

[SweatyMess]

"Everyone seems to be struggling with this, must be that they need a guide book"

Probably

 

[Dead and Khaki]

All the duties of Pharmacy and Optical will be absorbed by salesfloor TMs.

I'm sure THAT would go over well, there's no way that would be allowed. Sure, let's let a company that doesn't drug test allow people access to the good shit in the pharmacy!

The guide probably updates the new repack guidelines.

 

[countingsheep]

Well they let high schoolers with no work ethic or morals play with all the money so why not let them play with the drugs to.

 

[SweatyMess]

You know something we don't?
