Wait, does that mean stores can have dedicated backroom TMs again and free up GM to be only on the floor?

Oh, don't you go getting my hopes up...

 

[CrosstrainInsane]

We just had regional visits and modernization is very much still on.

 

[YugTegrat]

Having a dedicated backroom team would mean consistent pull completion and BRLA again.

I bet it's just going to be a name change and only
be more labor intensive.

What exactly does this mean?

 

[The Dude Abides]

I will believe this when I see it. Modernization has basically been a disaster at our store.

So what i like about modernization is a team member really knowing an area whether it be chem babies toys what have you. I liked them being responsible for zone, push and pulls* and sales planners. These are reasonable. Even some pricing. What i hated were transitions and revisions and the need to be a a certain pull completions when the bulk of our business is in the afternoon. I'd like to see and we are going to trying to have a backroom person(s) at night. It will help w filling the floor. They pull and stage and closing experts can push and zone touch ups. Think its a win for everyone. Bring back presentation and a small pricing.

No exact DETAILS yet -
just that some things will stay the same and some things will change.

The major comment was that we are to be a TEAM again.
Mostly working WHEREVER needed.

 

[Anelmi]

So back to being “global”?

 

[jenna]

What exactly does this mean?

It means my store is f*cked. aka we're not accurate, nor do we zone, and we aren't much of a *team*

we're f*cked anyway. no matter the process.

 

[NotCynicalYet]

Wait I thought the global thing was modernization. All I know is it's my weekend off.

Fake news, the spring call this year pushed modernization even more

I was just going to say the same . Because that’s not what I heard

 

[Captain Orca]

Flow Teams, Back Room Teams, Ad Set Sunday mornings, HR TM @ TSC? I'd go back and do the "dirty jobs."

 

[tdude2020]

Modernization was just rolling out when I started target two and a half years ago, so I got a slight taste of what the "good ol' days" were like. IS THIS COMPANY WIDE OR NOT? If so, will there be a formal announcement, and will there be more leadership and team member changes/workloads? This could just be your district since so many commenters are seeing otherwise.

Our SD said the term modernization is dead but the idea of team member ownership is still very much alive. It's a damn word, nothing is changing. If anything they will find a way to expect more because of the 15 pay increase. That has already been thrown around way too much. Well they make 15 now they should be able to get it done.

Lol...they love to make up a word, use it until it’s dead, then vanquish the word and treat it like a slur...

They're assuming that that $15/hr helped you grow another 4 arms to handle those higher expectations.
