Haven't done the survey yet. Was the question about store leadership (some do at my store, but I don't think the new SD does except for how it reflects on them) or corporate leadership (yeah, right).

We have a back end cap between Personal Care and Paper that's been clearance for forever at my store. Chems, OTC, Personal Care, and Paper all use it and it's almost always pretty full. Guests know to check it out. I have a back end cap in OTC that never has a sales planner for it, so I use it...

What @Rarejem said. Just today asked my TL about the schedule just posted because one truck day has really short hours. Thought it was just me because I didn't take time to look for other TMs who push truck, but it's about half of us. Was told that hours for May are really tight.

Unless their shift starts first thing, our Fulfillment TMs announce when they're on the floor: "Hey, this is (name), I'm here for the day." Usually, their TL will ask them to hop into OPU or SFS, maybe packing. If not, they'll ask where they should start.

Thanks for the explanation - I never watched South Park, so had no clue.

No, but it says something if the meeting takes place. Not sure what it says, but something.

Same here. Got 5% again this year. Plus, I just like knowing that I'm doing the best job I can with the hours I get.

How does reducing automation lead to lower head count? Seems like it would take more hands to do the work the machine isn't? (Can you tell I don't work at a DC? But I am curious.)

On the DEI question, anyone think that the organizations that are starting to stand up to Trump's bullying might turn the tide? Harvard kind of kicked it off, but other universities are joining in, some even after their boards caved but faculty, alumni, and students are making their fury about...

What happened with the Canada Target anyway?

As it turns out, I was scheduled for a day I don't usually work. Kind of surprising, but I'll take it. Depending on how tight they're being on hours, starting early or staying late might not be acceptable.

It's less about the cents than the percentage. I mean, yes, the cents are what adds to your paycheck but the percentage is the indication of how good your review was.

Maybe think about what YOU think about your job instead of what others think? I used to be in your shoes in a different way in that I worked a bunch of office jobs, answering phones and shuffling paper. Some of them had more responsibility (and more money and more stress) than others, but one...

Isn't that specifically against the rules in the TM handbook? There was a TM at my store who transferred out because of a relationship with their TL. If they're on different teams or at the same level, that's different.

Yes, but it seems like TMs who are usually scheduled for a day and can't work because the store is closed should still get paid. It's not like only those who observe Easter would get paid. Whatever. I'll just burn through some of my vacation hours so my paycheck isn't so short.
