Archived Big news coming Monday?

[Bullseyerc]

Not about working under pressure. I can't say where I'm at unfortunately. I'll leave it at that.

I get it.

 

[balthrop]

Hmmmm. All my leaders and ETL's have been acting odd the last couple days...

our TL's are doing their reviews and the ETL's are in that mix somehow. so that's why our "leadership" has been a bit more psychotic than normal.

Had a feeling OP would be nowhere to be found today.

 

[FlowTeamChick]

But only if you are holding them accountable in the first place .

Exactly. Certain TMs at my store can get away with practically anything.

[Ringwraith917]

The big news was the conspiracy to murder OP.

 

[atceiah]

Big news at my store was modernization, DON'T call it E2E.

 

[OneArmedJesus]

Yeah I overheard the last 30 seconds of the TL meeting, they brought modernization too

 

[LUR99]

I love being GSTL.

I do most days as well.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Not enough service plans

 

[IWishIKnew]

I can't in good conscience push service plans. Biggest waste of money ever. Full replacement plans, maybe, if you have kids (depending on the device), but I'd want to read the fine print first, and the register questions don't really make that feasible. It's a shady, pushy tactic and I hate it.

 

[Aredhel]

^thank you.

as a GSTM we now get the prompts I always just simply say would you like a protection plan. never once has someone taken me up on the offer

 

[IWishIKnew]

Yup, me too. I ask, as I am obligated to do, but don't try to sell them or push further.

 

[CSampson]

The big news is coming tomorrow. It is a new brand announcement. So it's really not "big news".

 

[wantaphone]

I saw a girl at work today wearing a button for some new brand i had never heard of. I can't recall the name, could it be that?

Universal thread? Na its a couple weeks old now

 

[wantaphone]

yep, that was it.

 

[TheBeastPMT]

yep, that was it.

My store has a big ass easel sign thing for it, and there is this quite attractive thicker model on it, and I cant find her name

 

[Flow Warrior]

TMs getting 40 hours in February? The CEO must be coming to your store for a visit lol

Don't mock. That does happen. Not very often. But it does happen. However, your team gets a lot of heads up about it because no one wants to be embarrassed.

However, I doubt that is the big news.

 

[Flow Warrior]

Yeah but the STL wouldnt make the store, specifically the ETL's wait until monday to know if they're having a visit.
Maybe Amazon bought us out

Yep, we are all turning to whole foods now.

 

[Flow Warrior]

Maybe Target tms will be doing Shipt.

I hear their marketing campaign is "Aw Shipt!"

 

[Flow Warrior]

Our store is no longer going to be an over night flow. In six weeks the flow will go from 10 pm to 4 am start time They are soppose to be completed by 8 am or 9 am no later lol. We have be an over night team for 3 years now this going to 4 am will effect the entire store and hurt us. Not enough room in the back room not enough equipment or flats uboats to share.
And how will all the garbage get into one bailer food team and flow working together is a laugh. Wish us luck.

Welcome to the store modernization joy.

Yep, but that won't matter as you wont need then for pulls or anything else because the Flow won't be there to need equipment or uboats. They will simply offload and go. Thats it.
As for the garbage, speaking from experience, it won't.

 

[Flow Warrior]

We did that switch last Sept. They don't finish that quickly. Good luck getting any equipment at store opening. We've found that usually one Flow TM has 3-4 myDevices on them at any time.

And that one TM will a written coaching too for doing that. Ours come at six. Mydevices are in STL office. STL office is locked until after they leave at 8:30

 

[Flow Warrior]

I just find it amazing they keep doing this when aisles being blocked and parts of the store being nearly unshoppable because of dayside flow is consistently a top guest complaint.

Lets see dayside flow is consistently a top guest complaint vs the cost of having Team instore doing freight, lights and air on, TL instore montioring them

Spot says fuck you guests its too expensive for overnight. Thats one of the core reasons why e2e exists.
