All that was old is new again. Lol. I’m guessing the reason being the company doesn’t have access to the kind of labor anymore that supports the tight dbo processes.

Okay gotcha. DSD was tight-lipped about it. But said the changes were substantial, and most likely not going away.

Hearing rumors of new pilots for certain groups in R400. Anyone heard anything? Themes might be HR and GM.…

Hearing rumors of a new pilot coming with big changes. DSD pretty tight lipped. Anyone hear anything?

B store Fully staffed 70-80% turnover Green metrics Somewhat lucky this time around. Lot of other stores in the area are struggling.

Moving up is 50% political, 25% doing a great job, 25% of right place/right time. If you can’t recognize/ or fit into the store cliche, you won’t move up. But I suppose that’s the way it is most places. I’ve seen many tms who were decent workers, and expressed interest in doing more, but...

Most visits are “unannounced”. However, getting a heads up—directly or indirectly (seen both lol)—is rewarding for both parties involved. That’s why it happens. You can debate about the rightness of it, but the “spin” is still there. The DSD knows they look bad to the group/regional if a...

Food is getting clobbered right now with freight on both the fresh and dry fronts. The pandemic and Store pickup changed the business. We are getting double the amount of freight as last year, but the hours don’t seem to reflect the business growth.

You forgot the part about getting flooded with needless freight from the DC, while your counts are correct. Yes...yes, you did need more Pam and syrup. (That DC “bounce-back” tho) It seems everyone has a different variant for success—which is kind of counter to how this process equalizer was...

I agree. And Working at Target has always been a lesson in conformity I’ve felt over the years. Challenges are gaslighted as “negative”. Very much a yes-man culture.

So, regional visit? Group Food director’s boss? If it’s only market, that’s what it sounds like. Think everything modernization. How much are you on process and how well are you delivering results. The Shorter the visit, the better—less stuff wrong to pick out and talk with you about. In...

Whoever can pull off a good appearance of the process working, they get promoted. Lot of politically savy “yes-men/women” going up the ladder right now. 5 years into this rollout, and we are still trying to rollout process time-savers to account for the short payroll. Point being: it’s not...

Things in your favor: -You like what you do, and are good at it -Your leader know this, as do others -HR told you to let TLs handle coaching. (Yes this is actually a plus in my book.) These are big positives. Points you should re-examine: -the existence of sub-par team members on your team...

You never hear the other side to these sob stories “Best-worker-ever” doesn’t get trashed after a legitimate callout. Not an advocate for being jerks to people, but there’s usually a correlation between the “presence of a**holes” and a failure of one’s own ability to be accountable. Can’t...
