Have you read the news just wondering

The job I got an offer for is a local industrial supplier, they actually supply one of the things team members take home all the time ;) my title is still "Team Leader" which I find hilarious. I don't want to go into too much detail just in case lol. It took me maybe 4 weeks of ACTUALLY...

And I couldn't be more satisfied. I started with Target over 5 years ago as a closing Hardlines TM and I am ending as a Food and Beverage TL, working in stores in various sizes along the way. I've learned a lot of valuable things that I will apply to my next job. Lots of.... let's call them...

For July we were forced to allocate A LOT of our payroll to the front end in my district. It sounds like it's either different or they are wanting to pilot changes for the new year in Q4, which they've actually done before.

It's always at the group / district level I would say. Lots of districts struggling with different things. Mine for example, we know brand is important it and is something we keep in mind, but the absolute focus of all visits, from any personnel, have been involving service and nothing but service.

I wonder who decided the one for one system should be axed. It has been a consistent "can't be red" metric for quite a bit now. They even recently started going hard on stores under a certain percentage in my group. The idea of pulling once capacity is at around 70% is a good idea though that...

Eh I don't know how much I buy this. Target literally just started going hard with the "GUEST" stuff and are hyper focused on having all team members there to help the guests on the floor. The Retail buisness is moving towards guest availibility and accomadation not away from it. I highly doubt...

I wouldn't be surprised if there is pretty high retention actually. If you're past 90 days it's actually fucking hard to get fired if you're just lazy / you suck. All the turnover is quitting. So if you have stores with seasoned employees, they have to hire less

Target has been doing this for all hourly paygrades for awhile. Also, TLs are not your enemy. We are literally not involved with any major store or district level decisions, we just do what we are told to do.

I was told $20, but I see pretty much everyone else saying $20.50. With you saying $21.50? Idk, seems like it ranges. Would suck if my market got the short end at $20 though lol.

Crazy how many team members and team leaders actually deserve a high review score but will never get it because there's legit a cap on the number of high scoring reviews you can have. Some people care about these things so its extra shitty lol

So service and culture are huge focuses for stores in 2021. The coaching / cca for lowering morale doesn't surprise me with the new culture initiatives the company is driving. Your store director and HR both siding with the Team Lead on the issue should signal that maybe he/she's not in the...

push party is like anti-everything target is rolling out right now. I almost guarantee district leadership doesn't know about that one. GUEST is being heavily stressed to us team leads right now - re-teaching the team on it, rating team members on it, statusing about the status of your team...

So uh.... anyone hear anything about that Salvage pull option? My stores backroom looks super awesome, we just probably have a decent amount of salvage that never got pulled when it was clearence clogging up some wacos. Actually excited for that functionality. I think that along with the food...

Yeah good luck. I can see If it's your first department or job in general jumping into the Target freezers might be a bit of a shock. Shits cold bruh.
