Update, I did get the interview, and he has me doing a 2 week trial period. He said he has no doubt that I can do the work. But it's delegating the team, going from peer to leader, that he's worried about. Mostly how they might react. I WILL KEEP YOU ALL UPDATED 😁

We fortunately have a decently reliable team.. it's keeping them in market that'd the hardest. Whether they get pulled for pricing, presentation, or closing experts (we have dbos with night availability) . They will stay reliable if given the right incentives. ... ie, HOURS lol

That is definitely a good question! I will have to get more information on that forsuree

This is exactly what I did. We shall see how it pays off tomorrow during my interview!

So does that mean for me, a TM, who didn't work christmas, or thanksgiving, could still get holiday pay?

Okay so with all the changes coming full blown, we have lost a few leaders along the way. Gained a few NEW TO TARGET Etls, and our new STD Only trained on Modernization. I am interviewing for a consumables TL position that has been vacant for about 2.5 weeks. I have been in most department's but...

Vendors DO NOT enjoy the resets at my store lol especially when they were able to do anything they wanted for so long

What's the difference between a What's the difference between small format and GM stores. I am trying to figure out what mine is !

I was told that despite half the market team being scheduled under presentation to "do the transition" they are "over spending" in market for hours. I can't imagine how, since I still have to go to my aisles to zone up, audit. And pull my 1 for 1. We've rolled a truck every truck day we've had...

Oh they basically told him where he can stick it. He was NOT impressed, so many head shakes and long silences when ever I would bring up things that were said on his day off. And obviously they were not impressed by the state of the back room. And we simply agreed and fixed what was wrong. But...

Thank you for the positive vibes ! But in all honesty, the amount of work they give to department owners looks REAL good on a resume. And in any other store just those things alone I feel would qualify someone for a management position

Myself and another tm who were supposed to be finishing up snack and candy transitions were told to drop everything and do a heavy cleaning on the entire back area of market. Which in theory yes. It needed to be done. And yes it feels much better. But was it necessary to not only take up 16...

So I get that we have certain laws to abide by, and I know the cracks down is coming for good reason. But it seems like we're the only team being badgered and called out. I get that we have cooler doors. Prep room, and food safety on top of all the other requirements. But honestly I feel the...

Please let me know if you get an answer to this !

Honestly. And it was frustrating me at first since I had been showing my SD I was able to handle it, there were days he would check in with me on my TL days off to assure everything was on track. Statusing and getting feed back from him. And JUST when I thought i was getting through to him, he...
