To that one TL: thanks for helping me set a few endcaps today. You're helping me crawl out from the hole I've found my department in.
To the HQ merchandising teams: Having every food endcap reset just three weeks after setting them is a stupid thing to do this time of the year when there are no hours. I literally got them all set and then saw the new salesplanners in OLP due two weeks out. Now I'm super behind again.
To my ETL-HL: I know POG has had their hours slashed. When I asked what the plan was to get them caught up, you should have more of an answer than "I dunno man...they keep getting their hours cut." YOU are paid to be a strategic leader. Try partnering with your fellow ETLs and your TLs to come up with some sort of strategy to get the workload done. I'm willing to help, but when you don't have a plan, I don't know how I can help out. There are three weeks worth of revisions still not done and several pogs that haven't been set going all the way back to 12/29. This is clogging up the stockroom, making the sales floor look empty, and making us lose sales. The workload is seriously snowballing its way down the hill and it's about to crash right into you...and so close to your review time too. God, your 18 months cannot be up soon enough.
