    2024 pilots / restructuring?

    I was at an ULV in early 2010s and after the AE dropped I was the sole sales floor team leader for A&A, consumables, electronics, and hardlines. We did have pricing/presentation (sales floor owned all of A&A presentation and sales plans) and inbound/backroom/in stocks still. But It was still...

    Examples of Leadership stealing time

    They could be on break? Almost all of the leaders I’ve ever worked with who smoked only did it during their lunch or break.

    Access 401K on Alight and benefits

    So, when you login into pay & benefits, it has you choose to use your SSO or your user name/password. Where it says to use your username/password, there a link for a new user. Follow those steps and you’ll setup a pay and benefits account for an inactive team member.

    Target posts a stunning drop in profit. Stock plunges

    For sure. Walmart semis drivers, for the most part, are Walmart; whereas, our drivers are a third party. I imagine those companies will have to start to transition to something more cost effective if Target starts to tighten cost controls. Also, with the pod system they are piloting, it...

    What are these Metrics?

    Greenfield does provide stocking goals for freight based on each custom block. It doesn’t account for back-stocking and clean-up. I think 60 cartons an hour is a flex goal, but it’s more like 50. I think food is 40 because of FEFO. Unless you’re in an area with heavy detrash like dec home, I...

    Target posts a stunning drop in profit. Stock plunges

    Target doesn’t allow you to invest in Target for your 401k anymore. All of them were rebalanced a few years ago, as the last recession wiped out alot of team members funds, as holding significant stock in one company is ultra high risk. 401k underperforming now are just due to the stock market...

    Target posts a stunning drop in profit. Stock plunges

    A lot of the money Target made was used for stock buybacks which reduce the amount of outstanding shares to inflate the stock price. The biggest risk of that is exactly what we are seeing now…

    Target posts a stunning drop in profit. Stock plunges

    I thought it was funny they mentioned having to rent off site storage so stores didn’t get too full. The amount of freight out in the network must be mind blowing, if even with such heavy pushes to the stores and still we’re have to rent space.

    Target posts a stunning drop in profit. Stock plunges

    It’s similar to our store, but are comps are +5%…I think the goals and forecasts are out of whack. We’re not in the same environment we’ve been in the last two years. Also, our company is still growing sales vs a lot of our competitors. It’s just costs are through the roof.

    What's the real price?

    Fact tags aren’t behind museum glass or anything and are only a pain if you’re not using the sticky labels in the first place (price labels should be printed on them anyways.) For the most part, there’s not a way to generally cut corners with price change or it’ll bite you later on. Just do it...

    "SCO" in regular checklanes?

    I was at the Santa Fe store a while back and their SCOs just had cash drawers. When you use cash, it has the “Team Member on the Way” message and they sign in and make change like a non-SCO transaction.

    Target covers schooling costs now

    Yeah, the previous program was not available to hourly, non-leadership store team members until now.

    Upcoming Operational changes

    Yeah, to me, manual cafs were closer to a OFO as they could be created on demand similar to how OFOs are always building, as CAFs were time specific and eventually fillgroup specific…

    Upcoming Operational changes

    I think it’s funny when they acted like OFOs were this new magical way of pulling the floor; when in all actuality, OFOs are just MCAFS, rebranded.

    Ethics - Performancing somebody out

    Also, performance managing out basically is terming at all costs, even if it’s the smallest thing to build a case: not necessarily fabricated, but not entirely based on truth either. This doesn’t appear to be the case, as they’re fairly visible issues, however. Usually, in my experience, the...

    Ethics - Performancing somebody out

    I imagine you’d need (or already have) a lot of PPDs to begin corrective action and with each one you should set the consequences. So, in reality, it shouldn’t be a blindside. They know the behavior in question, they know how they need to improve, and they know what will happen if they don’t...

    modernization is dead

    Just so you know, my Super was a dumpster fire before and after modernization: smart huddles everyday in middle main, countless challenges, auto for days due to set it and forget it, no one pulled CAFs for a few years or BR price change batches, flat/zs of AA backstock...so my experience is...

    modernization is dead

    In my district, we never had presentation experts, PP1/PP2 prioritization was eliminated, all inbound trained as GM Experts with anymore who usually worked over three hours transferring to DBO after sort. And before COVID-19, they were planning on moving most team members to late mids. These...
