Lately, I've been feeling burnt-out, over-worked, under-appreciated and just generally bad, while at work. I've equated (many times) that I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship that I just can't leave. I don't hate what I do. I lead a small team and I enjoy their company and work ethic...

Ugh. I hope that’s not the case. My hardware aisles are low gondos and have a cut through to Small Appliances. If packaging is there it’s gonna look so ugly (and probably empty a lot too). Another idiot decision by this company.

Just marked down a lot of Pillowfort today. Wall clocks and about half my large table lamps aisle also went 70. I looked closer at the set workload for the next couple weeks. Saw H&H reset, but nothing for my HIPA or DECOR HOME aisles that are going to be empty very soon. This is just wild...

That picture does no justice for scale, but I’m pretty sure those are actual adult sized go-carts.

So the majority of my paint, glue, hooks, fasteners, locks and floor protection just went straight to 70% markdown. That's 2 endcaps and nearly 2 full aisles. This isn't normal. Especially, since I don't have any pogs to replace those with (at least not for another month+). Anyone else's store...

I found some of the pogs do mention that risers can be utilized after setting. Only about 5 aisles listed Risers in that planograms. So about 30 shelves.

That's helpful about the backroom location for risers. We have a few in our Small Appliance department, but the items aren't located. I think the only issue might be for ship (and possibly 1-for-1 pulls), because the system will think those locations are in the back. I'll have to talk with my...

This year we've been asked to add risers to the salesfloor toy aisles. We're a low volume store, so this is a first for us. I was anticipating that the planograms would be different to accommodate the additional shelf at the top of the section. However, the few POGs that have been released...

@commiecorvus this smacks of trollery.

It still has a skip option correct? I haven't done an audit in a while, so I'm not sure if the app changed or not. I do recall it being organized by location, so you'd do all of B and then move onto C and so forth. If that's not the case anymore, it does sound like it's changed significantly.

It only takes you to other locations, if other locations are tied. Not every item in BTS seasonal is dual located.

ODL Salvage dropped Tues for us. Shippers came Tues night. Spent Wed building. Still no signage. We’re filling in okay, still pretty light across the set, but the majority is done. It’ll be annoying to put the signing up later, but it won’t be as stressful as everything else has been. now to...

You have to print manually. Go into pog on device and select each item, add to batch. It’s not bad, if you have the label strips. Only about 30-40 pegs.

Sounds like that TL was dealing with some other stressors and you caught them at the wrong time. However, that’s not an excuse for them to talk that way to you. I’ve taken many call outs, if the reason is valid and the team member has made attempts to get to work or call out earlier, there’s no...

If you’re still testing positive, don’t go into work. You call out, every day you’re scheduled, until you test negative and can safely return to work. Temperature checks and masks will be required if you’re showing symptoms Covid leave covers a defined amount of time, after that it’s out of...
