How long do you think that will last once it's seen how many empty spots there can be and how long they stay that way?

Indeed. Might be TMI, but I prefer to take care of this particular bodily function at home, in my own bathroom. It's not that I'm squeamish about it, just more convenient while getting ready for work. (Once had a coworker who was squeamish about it and she'd hold it all day if she had to...

Absolutely correct! I've long struggled with perfectionism and being a control freak. It's worked out pretty well with some jobs, but it's really not such a great thing in the world of Target.

Yeah. Except I regularly stay past my scheduled out time, having begged for help in the past and received it inconsistently. Often the help I do get is ... not always so helpful. It's always about call-offs and difficulty making the right hires. Can't remember the last time I was told that hours...

TMs at my store can get into trouble for not taking lunch breaks by a certain number of hours into our shift. No one really monitors 15-minute breaks that much, except in areas where constant coverage actually matters, like for cashiers. But also I don't think any TM at my store has ever been...

I think this is what my store's approach is too. And these TMs are the first to be asked if they want OT during Q4 and sometimes even get it. But can someone clarify how the desired hours works with scheduled hours? Seems like there's some difference of opinion here. I've been thinking about...

I heard from somewhere, probably here in another thread, that POG layout planning (or whatever the correct phrase is) had been brought back to an in-house operation because there had been so many problems with the India team. No idea if that's actually true, but if it is, that would explain...

Same. So if it's not really anonymous like they say it is, I didn't say anything that would be a surprise. Don't think anyone at corporate really cares what I think anyway.

TTOG (well, two, since they were a couple): Don't care how cute your little, fluffy, white dog is. If a dog growls at people in a public place, the dog should not be brought into public places, especially ones that are having a busy Sunday and often has young children around. One day, one of...

Well. I'm looking forward to having TMs who make the mistakes being retrained. But as I think @jenna said, there's nothing that can be done to train the unwilling. We have some of those TMs at my store and they make me crazy. There's no accountability.

Yikes. That's problem. If the truck gets acknowledged, do your OPU TMs crawl around inside the truck? That'd be pretty awful. Corporate's idea of best practice doesn't always work in real life. But 3 days to unload a truck is definitely not even halfway decent practice. Sorry your store is...

Street-dated olives? Sure, okay. What's next? Street-dated toothpaste? Gotta have something to take care of that garlicky olive breath. 🙄

I have no insight to offer. Every time I hear a story like this about how someone rips off a business though, I'm appalled again at how bold some people are in their thievery. This is way more than slipping an eyeliner pencil into their pocket. I assume that AP was brought into the situation so...

This reminds me of when I worked in a different industry, also generally low-paying and with high turnover, but I was part of office staff instead of on the front line. (Think a TL level instead of TM.) The company I worked for had a reputation in the area of treating our employees really well...

Seems like more TMs complain about too few hours than too many, but I wouldn't mind have fewer hours. Sometimes so exhausted by the time I get to a day off that I get nothing done. I know of at least one TM who'd like more but a new TM in the same dept. is getting them instead. The new one is so...
