Sorry if I'm not following, but did they get rid of salesplanners and softlines sets or offload them into the planno team? When I was on the salesfloor, team leads were the only ones there so we did hundreds if salesplanners per week. How are these getting done with only one salesfloor TL? I...

I can confirm as well. Discussion of wages, working conditions, etc is protected now. We were briefed on this update to the laws a year or so ago. Target likes to use confidentiality both ways to keep you from going in the break room and firing people up because you got a bogus coaching. It's...

Ok, now the schedule problems I'm hearing about are starting to make sense. How are these stores going to run on people that only work 10hrs/wk? It used to be bad a couple years ago. I remember a week we were down to 1,700 hours in payroll at my ULV store. In comparison, my Lowe's store runs...

Yikes. That story just reminds me of the paranoia that is so common among TLs and ETLs. You might have an attendance problem, but instead of dealing with that issue head on, they follow you around for a few weeks hoping to catch you do something silly that they can construe as a policy breach...

Interesting choice of posts there. I remember the day I found sharepoint. It put a pretty sick feeling in the pit of my stomach to see AE12 before my STL knowing what her plan might be. The last months with Target don't bring back good memories. Also a little funny in that post, I didn't fully...

Complete crap. I can tell you first hand, yes communication skills are important, but they're second to being analytical and a problem solver. Usually by the time your are an effective store manager or ASM that has worked their way up, you have developed your communication skills. This rubbish...

Hey there my old favorite forum! For those of you that don't know me, it's been a while. It was good to see that my login was still active. I was once very active on this site and was promoted to moderator before the great re-boot. I'm so glad this site is still up and running, as it was an...

Man, it's been a while since I've been around, but not much has changed. As a HL SrTL, you are 100% set up for failure. There is no way to get 100 sales planners done, do 3 LOD shifts, and drive BS like AAR. When I left my ULV store about 10 months ago, we were running on less than 1800...

Entering after 11 doesn't trigger emergency response, but it will red flag on AP alarm reports.

Sorry I havent been around much lately guys. Sorry also that some didn't aprecieate the info. Just trying to give a last tidbit to my "real" Target family. If there's anything I've learned from posting thousands of posts on the old breakroom, its that the people that care what we post don't...

I am currently holding in my hands a copy of something called "low volume structure test" fresh off of sharepoint. It details problems and possible solutions to issues with the upcoming test in several stores where TL's are eliminated completely. It's not rumor folks. its fact, and its coming to...

Just wanted to take a minute to laugh about the great "flu shots for all" incident in electronics this morning. Every TV in the company is looping the same 1 second clip over and over Haha!

I've decided it's not the people that are getting hired's fault. It's the poisonous frat/sorority style senior management that we currently have. They're looking for more people like them subconsciously. It's no longer a meritocracy at Target, it's a popularity contest where the cutest...

It's BS in my group. We only promote a TL that is AMAZING with a new degree, or we put cheerleaders almost there into the intern program. It's depressing. My bosses are idiots. I'd love to see any of my ETLs be a assistant manager in a walmart, where they actually do some sales.

Our pilot stopped on the first of august, and we went back to morning instocks. Staffing forced us to make the change, even though er liked the evening process. The truth is, just like every new ETL that comes in with "new ideas" that have actually been tried, and failed, many times before, this...
