Not much irks me more than a TM saying they have nothing to do! I've had fellow TMs come up to me while I'm zoning or sorting reshop and say "My area looks good, I'm all caught up" and I will say "Great, want to help me with this? Or you can push your reshop or zone another area. " "Oh, let me go check my tables again."ttotm: i heard you complain that you had nothing to do and had already finished your zone, i know you werent on a break, and you even walked by the lanes and ignored me when i called for backup :') ill remember it the next time you ask me for help
This is one reason I like the DBO plan. At least there's some accountability now for things that aren't done properly, most of the time. Granted, there are still other TMs pushing product in my area, but I do most of it most of the time.To the truck team:
This is backstock from one aisle of overpush. Come on, don’t make me do your job.
Also, you should know what numbers in parentheses of locations mean.
DBO? What’s that? You say there’s accountability, I’m intrigued.This is one reason I like the DBO plan.

The store is open probably over 100 hours a week. The DBO is in their area 25-35 hours a week. How can they really be held accountable for their area when they are in it only a quarter of all hours it's in use?This is one reason I like the DBO plan.

Oh. DBOs would be great at my store. Unfortunately, I’m somewhere different every night. Very annoying. I want complete control over my section.A DBO person is someone who is responsible for an area. "Bob, please do luggage and sporting goods." Bob will do everything and is fully responsible. The irritating acronym DBO stands for designated business owner. A cute little MBA dumbass word the pencil pushers dreamed up.
There's more accountability possible than there was before. I do all of the truck push for my area. Recently did almost all the revisions and sales planners in my area. There are others who zone and do 1 for 1 batches, handle back stock on days I'm not there. I do still find goofs, but not nearly as many as I used to.The store is open probably over 100 hours a week.

DBO = designated business owner. I think it's a dumb name because I've actually been a small business owner and it's definitely not anywhere near the same thing.DBO? What’s that? You say there’s accountability, I’m intrigued.
Three people in the same job over six months? I'd say something's wrong at your store, not so much with the people in that particular position. In the five+ years I've been at my store, we've had 2 PMLs, with some fill-ins from nearby stores in-between.To the PML: What did you do to get fired or did you quit? I'm not familiar with what PMLs do on a daily basis, but considering there is usually only one of them in a store, I would assume that you had good job security and if you were fired, you had to have done something REALLY bad. Our store is onto it's third PML over the past six months or so.

I want to believe that it's only a store problem for my particular store, but it's tough to compare when a lot of other members are posting about numerous ETLs and team leads leaving. At my store, there's only been one ETL who quit since I've been at Target so at least we're relatively stable from that perspective. In addition, HR has also had the same 5 or 6 team members with some front end team members filling in occasionally.Yeah, turnover that high, it doesn't matter if it's quick firing or quitting, it's a store problem, not a worker problem.
My store has an ETL like that. Makes everyone want to yell STFU every time her voice is heard, which is about every two minutes all day. Bet she wonders why the team are rolling their eyes all the time...To that one team lead: When I calm someone on the walkie, I would appreciate it if you didn’t suddenly interrupt and call out all the departments that have reshop. It could wait, I was talking to someone else and that was rude.
In fact, everyone is sick of how much you blab on the walkie. Just ask anyone. I get that you’re trying to run the store, but you can’t go longer than 20 seconds without saying something. A lot of us get the impression that you don’t trust we’ll get the job done without micromanaging everything.
Typo city by me, I was typing quickly because I was frustrated lol. I means “call someone” not “calm someone” lol.My store has an ETL like that.

It means they have choices. I'd bet a fair number of the ghosts interviewed at a few different businesses and got the call from the preferred place right when they started at Target.... I really don’t get it ...
