Sometimes you can't expect a TM to go as fast as you, especially if they're new.
I'm along into my 2nd month working at Target on the Flow Team and only had one day of training with one of the oldest (and slowest) TM, he's about 60 yrs old and I don't know why my ETL made me train with him because he's a grouchy old man that isn't really informative and would tell me a "general idea" of things instead of explaining things to me more accurately and efficiently. Everytime I asked him a question, he'd say he can't really explain cuz he's in a rush to get his work done. I had to learn everything basically on my own by trial and error, where other TM's would come over and let me know what I did wrong. A month passed and I gradually got better with pushing items at their right location, so now I was focused on trying to do it faster like everyone else. I wouldn't say I'm the slowest TM, but I'm also not speedy fast like our TL and ETL. But they expect me to be, and today I think I got a coaching from the ETL because I wasn't as fast as her. I was unfortunately stuck in a very heavy isle at market alone pushing by myself, while other isles had 2 people in it, so my ETL came over to help me push and was much faster than me and told me I was going much too slow. Obviously I'm not going to be as fast as you who's had much more experience and knowing where the hell everything goes without taking a moment to look...
I'm starting to really hate this job and want to switch to another area, either that, or quit Target altogether lol. We've already had 2 people quit within this month, both new and an old TM who's worked here for 7 years. Now I know what other people were talking about when they said "Expect more, Pay less." Target, especially the Flow position, is a miserable work environment. :girl_think:
