Sure did

Me

I’ve never related more to a post and if the bs continues after season I am out as well.

Will do. It’s so frustrating. I’ve only been saying all year we have to be overnight by late October to catch this before it’s too late and here we are...

We are now at the point of no return. Cannot move in the back room. 1 person (Me) in toys with over 20 pallets backed up. No more vehicles or pallets left and two trucks to unload everyday. No more space for backstock, no room on the steel, no time for anything...De ja vu

That says it all. Pricing and POG should not be a 2nd priority and we should never have to “catch up” with the truck. It should be pushed and guest ready when the doors open. With ultra high volume stores such as mine and many we are always behind. And the true storm has not even begun.

We are very close to if not the same as those numbers and still didn’t get approved...

It is at my store. Planograms are set by DBO’s or “department heads” or whoever randomly is assigned the task. We have pogs from September that we’re never set or set improperly. If you still have a POG team consider your store lucky. Question is just for how long.

Well here we are folks. Those of you that were a pilot store last year know what a scrambled mess this idea is. Eliminating overnight and back room/POG teams has proven to fail ESPECIALLY during 4th quarter where the freight and pulls are unforgiving. Let’s share how everyone’s experiences are...

So my store was a pilot store last year and 4th quarter was a complete shit show. 14 trucks a week starting at 4 am hurt us so bad that we had to go back overnight in early December because there was no space to even walk in the back room. Slowly but surely after going back overnight everything...

Yeah and not pay us to effectively complete our task

There is an obvious disconnect with corporate expectations and the Team members actually attempting to preform these unrealistic guild lines. Instead of blaming each other on both sides of the coin we need to come together and voice our frustrations to the ones responsible for placing us in this...

Couldn’t have said it any better

That’s exactly my point. The amount of payroll provided is not realistic for every team. You need to spend money to make money. Business 101

The issue is “overspending” by whose standards? Corporate? If the workload from the trucks build up do to gm’s limited hours than the work will never get done and it’s an even bigger domino affect. They are not providing realistic hours for all that needs to be done on all levels
