How to get the training you've been waiting six months for.

Any word on start date of that training thing and are backup leads going merit?

Backup leads are not going merit

"A 9 box"?

Part of the review process. To help determine where the tm ends up and with what raise percentage.

Just like the training specialists, another whole new group to wander around with clipboards, trying to look important. Because, creating the training specialist position was already supposed to fix things. Usual Target plan is to throw money and important sounding titles to fix whats broken.

The problem with trainers before was that they were too far removed from the actual job. This is a dumb decision!! Nunber one complaint I hear from new hires is the trainer cant actually show them how to do the job in a real setting proficiently lmao.

Maybe this new role will change that issue. I believe the trainers are still going to be part of production. If management decides to choose candidates that actually work then the complacent trainer is no longer a thing 🤞.

If the trainers are training they won't be counted towards prod. If they weren't training they would be in a normal prod function. That's what we were told. I've already told my OM I won't be going out for the role. I just think it's quite hilarious that they couldn't give the trainers they have who did training for nothing, something more than a lunchbox or t-shirt, Yes, I'm bitter about it, but you can't fight city hall.

I imagine some folks will be upset because it takes away their freedom to stand around and do nothing for most of the day. From a company standpoint this shakeup seems like a great move for increasing efficiency all around. I know this is not the general consensus but who doesn't want the business that controls our wages to do better? If your not part of the solution your part of the problem.
