The Comp Shop fell to the Pricing team after the girl who used to do it (she was a Cash Office Specialist) quit. But nobody ever told us how to do it. So my poor girls would go out (and btw we only ever get 8 hours) and do the entire list and we'd be red time and time again. Then we found out...

... What? Plano has "too many hours to begin with?" I'd love to work at that store. My POG hours come from the Adjacency hours where they combine Home Planograms and Revisions, then subtract 15 hours. And my signing team member gets 16 hours. The Adjacency hours are under "Softlines" in the...

I would caution you about letting anyone in your store know you post on this site. I probably shouldn't share this story because it's specific to my store, but I'll do it, anyway. About three months ago at a TL meeting an ETL mentioned this site and one of the TLs said something like "Yeah, I...

I guess what irks me about this kind of thing is at our last GTS chat they were really stretching that Target wants their tms to have work/life balance. How can you insist your team have a work/life balance when you make it apparent that work should be a priority over life? And don't give me a...

If they paid me three times my wage, I'd consider working on Christmas. :P

They always do the big toy markdown overnight on the 23rd into Christmas Eve. This year, the strategy has changed and must be done prior to open on the day after Christmas so the pricing team at my store has to go overnight on Christmas into the 26th. They go in at like 12:30a or 1a so...

Two people at my store got termed for this just this year.

Clearly Target wants to rush through Halloween and get straight to Christmas. Can't wait until we set it in July next year. *eyeroll* Give me Halloween any day.

I actually sent my team back to do the displays and 3x5s. Took forever. Ended up not finishing 5 POGs for the week and now I have to have a sit-down with the Logistics ETL on why I can't get the workload done. Fantastic. Losing my mind, too.

The best response is it depends on your team. At my old store, the pricing team sucked and the plano team were all-stars. So being a PTL there was great and the PATL was a hellish position because the scores are horrible and if the team doesn't care, how can you improve? At my current store, the...
