Introduce yourself to every team member you come across as soon as you can, and not just those who you are in charge of. First impressions matter so much, and taking a moment to just say hi, I'm so and so, I'll be in charge of whatever department, makes a big difference.

I recently had some imaging done on my back to try and figure out what was causing nerve pain in my lower back and legs. Turns out, I have some congenital spine defects (slight scoliosis and a screwy sacral vertebrae), which, combined with 4 years of backroom work, have given me the spinal...

So either I'm getting slower (which I doubt is the case), or the estimated pull times given by Workload Planning Tools has become a lot more accurate. I used to be able to pull 1:20 in an hour if I hustled. Now a 45 minute pull actually takes close to 45 minutes. Have the algorithms changed...

My economics professor loves to use real-world examples to highlight economic definitions and theories. He knows I work at Target, and will frequently use Spot as an example, because obviously it's a giant company and works well to illustrate lots of points. We were discussing the things...

So, maybe I just have a really bad memory, but I can't remember the last two Augusts+Septembers being as bad as this one. We've had a perfect storm of a bunch of the logistics team quitting at the same time + absurd amounts of clearance (including salesplans that were never originally set...

It seems like the same thing happens every year: we're super strong with getting the reports done every day for the first half of the year, then, as soon as BTS rolls in, followed by holiday crap, followed by "oh god I don't have enough time or people to get anything done," the audits go bye...

This is a frequent event in the backroom lately: SL-TL, ETL, or TMs will call back and ask if I can pull some POGs for them. Sure, no problem. But then half to almost all of it comes back as backstock that must be SUBT999'd! Today, for example, I pulled four POGs... two black repacks, three...

Came into work the other day to find seven full pallets of new seasonal transition... grass seed, fertilizer, planters, stuff like that. ETL-LOG comes back and tells me that all this stuff has to be backstocked before tomorrow or it will severely hurt our Backroom Accuracy %. I look at all the...

Just found out one of our ETLs is transferring to another store, just a month after another one left. I've only been with the store for 1.5 years, and now every ETL (including the STL) that was there when I started is gone. TLs are even more of a revolving door. Is this typical? It's hard to...
