2024 pilots / restructuring?

[Mikuhl]

Not me trying to get GM to to Entertainment like they were supposed to for like 3 years and now they just shoved it back into Electronics hands. 😒

 

[Yetive]

New Pilot info was just posted by someone on the Confessions Facebook group.

The entire guide is available to read on Workbench.

I'll do a happy dance if I can get Dec home and domestics off my plate.

I hope specialty gets baby hardlines so I can get out of that area and actually do my position I’m under.

Specialty will own baby hardlines.

 

[moninity]

But will my store actually go with it?

If it is anything like mine then screw it up so bad people scream silently in the produce cooler.

Too far to walk up front. I prefer the freezer to cool down and scream at the same time. Sometimes I bring a friend.

I'll just sit in my own little corner of Receiving still not sure who my direct ETL or TL is. It has changed so many times over the years I've just stopped bothering trying to figure it out. Luckily it only ever becomes an issue during my yearly review while I'm waiting for someone to notice mine still needs to be done.

Our produce cooler is tucked inside of another cooler so it’s pretty much blocked off from everything else and you can go full volume in there.

In a related matter at my store the Closing TL reports directly to the SD.

^^ Every store has that hierarchy.

^^ Every store has that hierarchy.

We have a Closing ETL.

^^ Every store has that hierarchy.

Our SE has 1 TL. Has daily grid designation of a TM as SETL w/cash office duties..without the pay or voice. Even that official TL has "responsibilities elsewhere", or is in the office, and we're left to fend for and fend off irrate guests who we don't have the manpower to help them navigate post covid checkout system and shut down SCO. Our SD pushes repacks and hangs bathing suits while within steps of a front end burning to the ground in chaos. Our hierarchy is expressed with "push to 4" when ever called to action

We have a Closing ETL.

I meant in my store why doesn't the Closing TL report to any ETL not the SD.

Because closing is a total store process and not department specific. Business needs vary and cross all departments.

But this isn’t unique to your store, every Closing TL should be reporting to SD (unless there is Closing ETL)

Like I said in a different thread I'm curious to see how they do head count for $40M ish stores. We only have 2GM, 1 fulfillment, 1 F&B, and 1 specialty TL on the sales floor. Would they make one GM TL cover all of that on the salesfoor to add the Merch Ops TL? Seems crazy.

40M store here, we have 1 specialty lead, 2 GM, 1 merch ops, 1 F&B, 1 Fulfillment, 2 S&E, 1 Food service & 1 closing

 

[BKop16]

I'm curious to see the payroll breakdown with GM owning all pricing (besides F&B). I know some weeks style has thousands of PCs.

The term merch ops goes away when this fully rolls out next month. They’re just a GM TL

 

[BackupTL]

Hearing lots of former peers freaking out over this. Looks like Specialty is losing a TL to GM (again) for most stores, and they're forcing the remaining Specialty (2 for most stores) to split A&A even though the guide doesn't recommend it unless you have 3, not including (Ulta) Beauty TL. Both Specialty ETLs I've spoken with said their DSD basically told them "that's how it is, deal with it", despite being given the materials saying that they can split it differently depending on store discretion, as long as business units stay together (GM in GM, Specialty in Specialty).

 

[RedDeadNoRedemp]

40M Pfresh store, here’s our new break down

GM 1 - Inbound, essentials, kitchen, stationary and bullseye

GM 2 - Fulfillment, toys, sporting goods, seasonal and pets

GM 3 - Merch OPs

F&B TL

Starbucks TL

SS TL 1 - A&A, tech and entertainment

SS TL 2 - Domestics, dec home and baby hardlines

Ulta TL - Ulta and beauty

2 SETLs

1 Closing

Will be interesting to see how things go but I feel the SSTL2 is making out like a bandit compared to others.

What about rear sea and mini ?

Gm 2 has rear

From my understanding F&B owns mini since it falls under their fill group so they’ll be doing it most of the year except during BTS

Really? Domestics, Home and Baby Hardlines don't seem like easy departments to me. Baby Hardlines especially is a pain in the arse.

 

[BKop16]

Ours split just as expected.

GM1 - Pricing/POG/Audits, Stationary, Kitchen, Storage, Toys, Sporting Goods, Seasonal
GM2 - Inbound, Essentials
GM3 - Fullfillment

SS1 - Well everything.
