Since we are all worried about our brand new CEO falling prey to the Minnesota Kool Aid, I thought we should start a thread letting him know how we feel in the trenches. I'll start: Our payroll is cut to the point that we can barely staff our stores. My store is one of the best in our region...

I love this. We all hate the fresh out of school exec. but it is nice to hear the other side of the coin.

Exempt team members get an annual bonus of a small % of their total pay and only if the store meets certain criteria. In bad years they get nothing. I'm sorry, but it all sucks for everyone.

Market pogs are lame b/c the title descriptions are confusing. If your CTL follows the map the "dept###promo##" goes on top of the previous spl with the same title. If that is too crazy print all of your labels by pog and then figure out which ones are already up by looking at the item or...

The DTL has a chat session with the ETL's no matter what along with one with the TL's.

Leave it for follow up? There is no one that will ever follow up. Most people seem to complain that their lod's are lazy or incompetent. Why would you expect follow up? I agree with dash11. It works really well for my store. We fix everything when we see it though. It gets easier once you do...

I hate coupons so much I will hardly ever use one. I am that scarred from the whole process. The wonen with the books and folders, the ppl trying to load up on that darn Nivea tin so they can get the most off, the baskets of reshop from someone you turn down. Yuck! I hate it all. I see both...

The signs stating the new Plus line would be in at the first of the month should have come down.

I love the plano team changes mostly because I know it is going to drive my pog team lead insane. I have listened to him talk trash and put down my department (SL) for years. I consider this to be karma for his awful no teamwork attitude. Every store I have experience with has a clear divided...

Well put!

I like your plan Sigma7! I can't stand the instocks process we currently have. All of SL is flex and we are a 7:30 process store. Anyone that says they get a "good scan" is a fool or a liar. Combinig HL and SL is good so you don't have that goofy instore rivalry between the two

Who is angry for that long? I don't even remember 2006.

Take the time to meet and learn the personalities of your team members. Running softlines is different than running other departments as many of the team members tend to be women and may have (ahem) personality quirks. Ask yourself, Is there any infighting? Is everyone on the same page? Who...

They are probably gaining TPS hours to accomodate an IS moving to the store permanently. They are all still apprehension trained so the only major change is they will be tied to one store instead of travelling around in plain clothes. Am I right?

The IS's in my area (two of whom are Amazing btw) have already been given their new permanent store locations. That part of the structure change is for sure not a rumor.
