I mean it is the same stuff just rebranded, with the exception of a few items. I’m just waiting for the stream of angry guests returning the MBD dishes that have the year guarantee but wouldn’t last a week in most houses (especially the wine glasses, the stems look like they’d snap if you gripped them wrong).

Well many of plans are actually good ideas. I feel like the problem is there is no corporate support. You need equipment and hours to make these changes. You need to have the dc's send us product in a format that is most efficient. Until corporate spends the necessary $$, even if it means a couple of quarters with little profit, or even a loss, we are never going to attain the goals that corporate wants. Plain and Simple.

Hey corporate, do what's right for the long term sustainably of Target, not short term profits!

The main problem here, is Target's elimination of Logistics and it's processes.

Target does not realize that Logistics, stems, from the route word, Logic.

Hencefore, Target does not believe a Logic team is needed.

This will never happen, not as long as Target is a publicly traded company. The robber barons in control of the global economy, with Wall Street as their supreme lord and master, are incapable of looking past the next quarterly earnings statement and if a company doesn't meet the analysts expectations, it can lose billions in "value" in heartbeat.

The system fucking sucks. It's no good for anybody. Except the people at the top, who will still be filthy rich long after the companies they've driven into the ground have ceased to exist.
 
As of now, only the ETLs have the results, we senior TLs have not even been told.
 
Still not a peep about results over here. I think it’s a can of worms they’re too afraid to open. They got ripped a new one pretty bad a year or two ago and backsliding ever since. Even with some of the awful results in the past, we at least had meetings to address the issues by this point in the year.
 
We had our meeting about it for Logistics last week. Last year we didn't even have any meetings, so I was glad they at least did it this time around.
It felt nice to complain about a couple things. Whether they do anything about them remains to be seen. Not holding my breath.
I liked that they also brought up the parts that were highly rated, like how our TL and ETL for truck are amazing. They really are.

On the flip side though, if you haven’t talked to your leaders about issues or concerns in the store at any point, then the BTS is not the time to rip them a new one. Surely there is an ETL or TL in the store that you feel comfortable talking to. If not, then be an adult and have a difficult conversation with your leader face to face. You might be surprised what comes of it. Hopefully it will be constructive but I’m not naïve enough to believe that every hard conversation will end well. If after talking to your leaders and you still see no change or have your concerns addressed, then by all means use the survey as a way to provide that feedback, but don’t wait all year to blast your leadership on the survey simply bc you don’t like them.

No BTS results have been shared, as far as I know, at my store yet. They have been in years past.
I have spoken up in the past about some serious concerns I had with my TL - and I regretted it deeply. So did at least 2 others who also spoke up about the same TL. Retaliation isn't supposed to happen, but it does.
I've spoken up about some not-so-serious concerns in a conversation with the HL ETL - and I regretted that too. Got a long-winded explanation of corporate-speak that was not helpful in the least.
The only time I actually had a good result was when I spoke directly to my TL with an ETL to witness both what caused me to speak up and my response. Even then, my TL tried to gaslight me, like he has in the past, but I stood my ground because someone else was there to hear what he said, finally.
I don't use the BTS to blast leadership because I don't like them. It's because I feel like it's usually worse than pointless to actually speak up in a person-to-person conversation.

Kind of like the "anonymous" hotline. Those who I have known called were in the STL office a day or 2 later.

The thing about the hotline is it is anonymous for things like my ETL is constantly saying sexist stuff. But it's not for this one time my etl said this exact phrase on this day.

Basically you have to be broad if you want to be anonymous

Also, if you want something to actually be done about whatever you reported it pretty much has to go to the STL, particularly if you have issues with treatment by a particular ETL or TL or stuff like that.

I did this. And experienced retaliation from my TL.
I should say that not all my experience has been negative. I was hopping mad about music being played, loudly, by someone on the line during unload. The lyrics were practically pornographic and very inappropriate. (Hard to tell whose phone it was because of where it was placed, so I didn't know who to speak to directly, which is why I spoke to an ETL instead.) For a while, there was no music on the line at all. It's come back, but it's not inappropriate, at least not when I'm there getting a u-boat.

My resumes are already out, unfortunately my former etl-hr who works now as head hr of a competitors dc chimed in saying they want to talk (said this on Facebook, everyone at work now knows.) Now everyone thinks I am leaving.

Are you FB friends with that former ETL-HR? This is why I'm really careful about keeping work and personal life separate. People spill the beans without realizing how they're messing up someone else's life.
 
We got our results back a month or so ago and they were about what I was expecting...everyone upvoted the ETLs and downvoted pay (shitty), hours (non existent) and store temperature (800 kelvin). ETL-LOG was bragging about how everyone loves him lol
 
My STL called the TLs in the conference room recently and had 17 low or red scored questions on the board and wanted us to discuss them. Really? It’s anonymous for a reason. I literally sat there for an hour and a half and said nothing.
