    Confessions of a Target TM

    I hired someone because the BR TL said he couldn't hire her because she's so attractive, he was worried he would sexually harass her. I said what the fuck is wrong with you and took her folder and hired her for flow, she was a good worker who happened to be nice to look at. I used to throw...

    Answered Unloading Truck in 2 hours?!

    Target has long started to move away from spending money on unloading trucks with the goal of just palatalizing everything eventually so 1 person could unload a truck. -ofc that was information from years ago when a flow team consisted of 32-40 tms with often 20-26 scheduled for the truck Used...

    Archived Quitting Due to Modernization

    Was it a secret? I knew for years the broad goals of modernization. Quit about 2 years ago seeing the writing on the door for a Flow TL, far happier now working as a robotics tech for a factory being paid double what i made as a flow TL. I was really reluctant to do that because i loved working...

    Logistics The Flow/Inbound thread: Until We Yeet Again edition 🤙

    I mean you're not suppose to bend, back straight, chin up, don't twist at your stomach, pivot on your feet. It's called the target gym. It used to keep me fit. 1500 i'd throw that all day 6 days a week, be done in an hour, hour 15 if the line keeps up, sure beats throwing 2200 minimum.

    MEGATHREAD 2018-2019 Store Modernization Megathread

    It's not illegal to force overtime, but it's completely illegal to not pay the overtime pay. It's also quite illegal to coerce people into working overtime or face consequences, if there are no consequences that's a basis of a hostile work environment. They can in many states change your...

    Archived Any good routines around sorting transition?

    Organize by POG if it's not pre-tied, if not enough of 1 pog for a pallet, multiple pogs on a pallet based on what you think might go together, throw it up on a pallet, mark the pallet in huge letters the pogs on it and call it a day

    They are fundamentally different, a typical target store carried probably 80,000+ different sku's(items) although it varies much by physical size and volume while a costco will only carry around 4,000-6,000 of select sku's in bulk. Both Walmart and Target have been reducing their in store sku...

    Archived Do we only hire for looks?

    My old college town store everybody was attractive from TM to STL but that was mostly because practically no one was over 30 and the few that were older aged well.

    Archived Would you quit Target for a "better" job?

    I did leave, as $17/H Flow TL for nearly 4 years; started looking into other jobs when E2E started to be a thing. Reading the E2E documents i predicted it would push me out of a logistics role if i stayed with target. Now working for $35/H as maintenance at a large company in which i only work 4...

    Archived Backroom - Pulling case stock before single items

    The idea is that you'd save steps and movements by only traveling down the aisle once by pulling lower and open at the same time. Then you'd travel back out for upper. It's an idea that seems to be done in theory more than by people actually doing the work, pulling open and case pack at the same...

    Logistics The Flow/Inbound thread: Until We Yeet Again edition 🤙

    Depends on the repack, sorting efficient? Can be, can also not be. Sorting isn't stocking, it's an added touch and requires time to set up, gather carts push them to asiles etc. Alot of repacks can be pushed directly from the box. Some repacks you open up you should just not even attempt to...

    Archived Is this a tactic target managers use ?

    Always hated that non confrontational shit, i rather and did just tell people straight up if we weren't going to keep them and when to expect it. Same with interviews, if i don't see it going anywhere cut it short tell them they won't be getting the job then ask if they would like some advice on...

    MEGATHREAD 2018-2019 Store Modernization Megathread

    I would guess you kill it and ask the "backroom lead" to take care of it as they're unloading the truck and letting people in the morning anyways. That seems quite inadequate to properly define a store, one size fits all means some stores with more resources than they should really have vs...
