Thats not true the true times that target gives you on the truck paperwork is much better and substantiated through whatever data they have. Then the middle management and the store management try and use averages to make things simpler and just say each box is one minute and repacks are 5...

Yeah I was never a remodel lead but I did many as a TM and it was the best job ive done at Target.

Its been a long time since I have been a FFTL and I thought it was one of the easier jobs I did. You need to manage the schedule and breaks more then any other workcenter, but I got my support was also top notch from my peers. I would always help support them too so it was an even try imo...

It just comes with time. Think efficiency means doing things in less steps. Once you learn where things go you will do less walking around. Keep your uboat with you so you aren't walking back and forth. Keep it organized and clean. You will get faster pretty quickly if you do the same thing...

I remember when I was a backroom tm after we finished the pulls I spent 3-4 hours a night going through the backroom fixing aisles and purging locations. Imagine having that kinda time now. Fast Fun and Friendly was the time to be a proud target employee.

I did it for 3 weeks at 3 different stores in the last 2 months. It happens more then people think but in general its usually the same people they ask. Inventory time is usually when it happens most.

It was said as a future plan when mytime app first came out but I don't think its been implemented yet. Maybe in some parts of the country.

Yeah I mean the difference between a good store and a bad store is leadership. I've worked in many stores and even the same store with different leadership will struggle. My inbound team was as good as I could ask for but with a poor etl and an even worse SD the store went from clean to...

I mean if anything wave push should reduce the slackers. When I ran my truck the slackers areas would have to be done by other tms. The only way any of this works is by removing them. If your a lead and working with your team doing the wave then there is no room for slacking. If its still...

Wave push is the way

Good to know i have not been an inbound lead for some time was not aware they even changed it

When I was an inbound lead i went over freight times with my team, explained how it was calculated, and addressed the concerns they had. Ask your leader how he got the numbers. There are some nuances but the times given aren't typically too off. Candles/H+H/furniture may be slightly longer...

The target policy requires minors to not be scheduled later then 945 whether states allow it or not. There are other rules but I can't remember off the top of my head. It would be hard to work that much when your in school but I'm assuming you want to know for when your on vacation from...

Hours are just down right now so hiring is going to be slow to non existent a month or 2 from now will be much better. Usually only hiring right now would be dire need for niche things like inbound 4am shifts. If stores don't need closing people then they won't be hiring.

I got .05% last year because I stepped down and transferred stores and my old store didn't do my review before I left then both my etl and SD left after I brought it up with my hr and hrbp. Never bothered after getting told for a month they would figure it out. This year got 3%. Don't really...
