That seems a bit sarcastic to me. Having a paycheck and job security is more than enough for me. I don’t need the recognition. My team does . In my opinion flow and backroom are the backbone. Without us unloading , pulling and stocking the store would look like it would go out of business .
I have to tell you that my etl log is in the backroom for hours everyday, either pulling , cleaning anything .
And why is that? Because it leads by example? My store has etls for each department. And 3 are log 2 overnight and one dayside
Straight up, you are doing a great job and the fact that you want recognition for your team and not yourself proves it. Without backroom/ flow replenishing the floor, the store would go out of business.👍
You’re lucky. My last ETL wouldn’t lift a finger for the backroom unless there was a visit, but she would criticize whatever anyone else was doing and just slow down the process generally. I have a lot of respect for your ETL for being hands-on and working with the team. I used to have an ETL like that, who built a cohesive team, and that team would do anything for her. Good leadership builds productive teams.😁
Let’s be honest if it wasn’t for my team we wouldn’t be able to do what target is asking of us . My team are truly the best . They kill it each and everyday .
I think the team will work just as hard as the lead does. And if he/she doesn’t then your tasks will fall behind.
No, buddy. That was not sarcastic. I thought 7 TLs was excessive for backroom, then you explained what it is you do. I think you guys are doing a good job.
I know it defeats the purpose of modernization, but at the end of the day my stl does what’s best for the business
I wasn’t offended in anyway. To have a better understanding here is the backstory before this etl I had a different one . I never saw her I would hear her over the walking but never saw her for the longest time my team didn’t even know she was our boss. Why? Well her things was that’s why I have you in the back for so no need to be there . All day long in the office she wouldn’t even come to do the trash on the day she was lod she would call me over the walkie to see if I got it done. My new etl on the other hand she is a hands down worker and likes to be involved and not just ask how can I help but actually coming up with a solution, it was a “ culture shock”.My team are amazed when she comes by the off-site with a care package and says good jump and fist 👊 with everyone . Because of her things turned better for all of us. She does see the struggles and she wants to help. And I appreciate your input very much😉
Yes 7. 3 overnight , 4 dayside AAA+ store with a overnight process and off-site. Which off-site gets run by the tl.
What’s your sales volume? That’s insane. That sounds like a small city. Any idea what your overall head count is at?
Not a small city at all .SoCal. Overall head count for Tls? We are 19 in the store without counting the Plano and price change. Last year was about 95 mil . We were at 17 mil before may
Fuck yeah I did
I meant small city as in your store is a small city. Also 19 TLs and 7 of them are backroom? Seems off.
Let me enlight you a day in my store . 1 receiver at 6 am , 7 the opener , 8 second receiver and one flex person, 9 first tl, 10 off-site tl and a team there, 11 second opu, 1 pm 3rd tl comes in , at 3 two backroom team members , at 6 2 more caf stockers , 7 the closer. 10 pm etl log and the 3 leads come in , one has to go pull auto overnight at the off-site , one runs the inbound and the 3 one is backroom pulling auto and backstock . There’s always 3 leads dayside working everyday and one would be off for a day . And every other weekend 2 gets the weekends off , then me and other one gets it.
Still seems unbalanced for a store that size. I’ve been to a 90 million dollar store before and they had 20ish TLs and I don’t know their exact head count but they definitely had atleast 3 gstls, 4 softlines and 6 hardlines plus food and bev, Starbucks, AP, and a few in the back. I guess it makes sense with an off site. I assume most of your backroom TLs are key carriers? Although 3 LOG ETLs and 7 backroom TLs just seems insane. Your store is definitely blessed with logistics leadership.
