How’s everyone been doing? My store has around 50 LOAs. OPUs are crazy. It’s unfortunate the situation we’re in but my store has made overtime available. I’ll probably get in about 20 hours OT this week and 10 from last week. No masks at our store yet so I’m trying my best to stay far away from...

So how’s ya’ll stores doing amidst this Coronavirus hysteria? Our store damn near did 212k yesterday on a forecast of 110k. Up about 300k this month compared to last year. Damn near all cold medicine is gone. Toilet paper, disinfectant wipes, and hand sanitizer sell out within the first half...

Definition of a “Unload Captain” A made up position that gives the owner a sense of leadership yet it comes with no extra pay, benefits, or perks. Only adds extra stress and provides disdain towards them by fellow employees. Reminds of Dwight’s position as the “second in command” on The Office...

Target is named Financial company of the year by Yahoo. Brian Cornell is named CEO of the year by CNN. Target’s stock almost doubles. Modernization is going to be a big factor to many for this success so be prepared for more duties to be added to this modernization plan in the coming year...

A new article about Target and modernization https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/14/business/target-cutting-hours-wage-increase/index.html

Sorry. Didn’t realize that.

This was a interesting article about Target cutting hours https://www.businessinsider.com/target-workers-say-backrooms-are-unsafe-because-of-shift-cuts-2019-9

The daily grid at my store is supposed to have a shift label next to each TM in GM so they know what department they will be in that day. A few TMs have a set area like HBA, Pets, and HHC but then most other TMs are just everywhere. One day Stationary and then the next Seasonal. Then many times...

This is definitely a true statement. Now that there is only 3 GMTLs in the whole building, they all go for self survival. Everyone is trying to get their jobs done and there is no more working together because modernization has put so much on their plate, they basically can’t help each other or...

This is what I want to know. Was it mandated by corporate that this is the workload that each GM is supposed to own or is it a example/suggestion. Is workload/departments each GM has the sole decision of the STL to divide up.

I feel like Target sees that the process isn’t working as well as they thought but just won’t admit it because they put in a lot of money to create and implement this process. I believe they came up with this process not for a more efficient way of running the sales floor but rather because they...

At my store, the flow team lead was automatically given GM1 definitely not knowing how much was going to be on his plate. Now he’s debating if it’s even worth it because he wasn’t given a raise and money was taken as he lost the $1 differential.

It’s definitely strange how they how they divided up the store. GM1 owns majority of the store and the truck unload at my store. GM1 owns B section (stationary and kitchen), C section (bath, small appliances, home), D section (Bedding, plastics), seasonal, mini seasonal, and luggage. GM2 owns A...

So what do you guys think Target’s next step will be? From what I understand, although sales in a lot of stores have been stagnant or even at a loss, for the company as a whole, sales have been up since this modernization began. Once Target hits that $15 an hour for employees, for them to...

I’ve heard that they don’t allow you to self demote yourself but I’ve also heard that they can’t fire you if you choose to do it if you were hired as a “regular” team member due to legal reasons even in a “at will to work” state. Not sure what those legal reasons are though. I’ve also heard that...
