“Unrealistic” ..... my store is finished with everything by the end of the day, every day and we are quite a bit ahead of most in the modernization process. Truck is done everyday except markets side of it. They want to ensure people are worth $15 an hour. In most areas of the country that’s really good money. Stop complaining and do your part to help your team get it done at the correct time every day
THIS^
In my store it’s mostly retired people supplementing their social security. They can’t work more than so many hours or it effects their ss checks. They’re physically fit and fast.
So this backs up a previous statement I’ve made. Negative people in retail is what is wrong with retail, not target. Go on indeed and look at the jobs hiring for $15 an hour.. under the previous model, back room was worth 15 at my store but now that everyone has to work equally as hard, my team from back room appreciates the changes. What does that tell you?
I agree with you in the equal part only, but inbound (General Merchandise Tm's) now only gets 4 hours shift and they have to come at opening hours (2 hours later than before) and can't push anything to the floor because everybody owns a section (General Merchandise Experts), so how people in back room are going to be happy when they are only scheduled 3-4 days a week? And I can't see how backroom people can extend hours if they are not allowed to push anything since they now are only SORTERS. They rather work with the old operating model at $12 with more hours and pushing merchandise to the floor. Who can live and pay rent and bills with 12-16 hours a week? Does Target want to have workers who live with food stamps? Is this the future?
I’m a BR TM and I get around 40 a week. If you want more, increase your value. Ask to be cross trained and kick ass when givin the opportunity. One more thing stay positive! If I can figure it out as a TM, then anyone else can. Take indicative.
Cross training means nothing now in most stores. With modernization and the phasing out of process teams, every team member will be cross trained, except it won’t be called that anymore since everyone will own their department and all the processes for it.
Hey now, as far as the metrics are concerned, it counts just the same if they tie and lie and just print the clearance labels and pitch them. 😉
Curious to see what volume store youre at?
Yea my store only has a BR TL who helps with pulls, but mainly audits/price change/LOCU etc. All team members own their area and backroom, hence no backroom. It works aslong as every one does their part
There were stores in my district that would claim they are full modernization especially in market. Ask around and sure enough they have a backroom team even with market. I had a buddy that I used to work with in backroom who transferred to another store tell me that they just have him backstock market all day. Wait a minute, you do not push, zone, audit market as well. Nope never at this store. A bigger store with bigger payroll that can manipulate as they see fit to come clean while I need to follow the rules. Ironically enough the district office is located at this store
Yes and No, you can flex transition into PTM areas. You cant flex full resets (seasonal) so you would have to trap and wrap, or have a mountain of problems.
Me trying to set odl flat a week late with no pog team. Everything from sfs, opu, guest service, market, hl spill, open backdoor for vendor cause receiver is up front. Plus hour of smart huddle every morning right after I got in. Maybe 5hrs of every 8hr shift went to my work. 4 after you factor in all the cardboard and trash trips I made.
I've been the most trained tm for years, including etl/stl. 28hrs on new schedule only due to inventory prep. With no communication about time outside my primary work center. And over a dozen tm who left this past month including tl.
