What? I never said anything about instocks having to be done by 8 pm. The instocks person at our store doesn't even come into work till 9 am.
I think the point is that instocks has to have their task list completed by 11 am as opposed to the 8 pm you cited for pricing. Completion depends upon the flow team and backroom having completed the truck. This is how the floor gets filled, but it is time sensitive. My team answers calls and backs up during the short time we have to try to complete upwards of 200-300 tasks. Instocks does get off at their scheduled time whether or not the workload is complete, but we pay for it when the ETL checks our number of scans, rainchecks, and subs and calls us in for little "chats". Do I have animosity toward the Elite teams (pricing, POG, softlines adjacency setters)? You better believe that I do. Leave the walkies for those that can help us answer the calls or answer the freaking calls. Every other team (at our store) gets help when they have a large workload....not Instocks. I don't think pricing should have to answer because it is difficult to keep track of where you left off (especially when guest traffic is heavy or you're in softlines), but understand the job of the other teams and their time constraints before you call them out.
Do I think it's right for them to change your shift? NO. Everyone agreed to the work center they are in when hired. Target agreed to the availability when hiring them. For it to change this radically is not fair. Yes, I know, nothing's fair...blahblahblah....you work at the will of your employer....blahblahblah. Target used to believe in the Human Factor. I guess that has become blahblahblah. So far I'm still a human with a real life at my store. I hope that doesn't change.
