You've probably noticed this, but things have gotten worse since you left with payroll and expectations. And the raises again don't keep up with cost of housing and food, not even close. Definitely headed on the KMart path.

Well it isn't much but that's still nice to hear it's going in the right direction

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/21/target-doubles-bonuses-for-salaried-employees-as-profits-recover-.html Interesting. Headline is a little misleading because as I understand, their bonuses are basically recovering from last year's cut. Of course this pisses me off knowing I'll likely be getting...

I think it's mostly Fulfillment causing the problems that are pushing stores from "struggling with modernization" unpleasantness over the edge into "jfc it's all broken." If 15-20% of your sales require so much extra labor (D/U, FF, backups) and there are no fees to make up for it and you're...

Wow, our schedule is made to be bare bones (which is already ridiculous) but at least people can get all the OT they want these last couple weeks. That's crap.

Wow we have days in the low 90s which is crazy enough. I wonder if your district manager cares at all. Ours would be calling the SD every 5 minutes.

This one got me the other night. A game was advertised for $10 down from $60. Wasn't correct in the system though it was correct by shelf label and by zebra scan as being on sale. So I rang it up unidentified and asked the electronics dude to inventory audit one off. Only way I could think of.

You have to watch your cart flow into OPU hold space and play it by ear. Store Directors and ETLs are not as highly-tuned to the workflow and will pull the trigger on this too early, hurting your productivity. I have 4 OPU pack stations and they can't really be shared efficiently, so I'm...

Great post to consider for the influx of seasonal kids, thanks

Rocking a sold 9% OPU inf every day now. SFS somehow still super green. Freight is destroying us, and corporate knows. Not sure why they're intentionally tanking sales. First they killed guest service and now they're okay with massive bottlenecks of merch...this is getting dumber by the day. A...

I left the store tonight with 7.8% INF in OPU. For the week we're high 6. I almost shat myself when I saw that. Yours couldn't be worse could it?

They want me to focus on pick speed and INF. Yeah, that's mostly what we do lol. Super helpful strategy. Realistically the store is in bad enough shape that all I can do is convince my team that their efforts represent Fulfillment doing our part to fix things, by communicating INFs so I can...

This is a cool idea! Some of my TMs would love this. Others would be upset about missing their bag & chill time at the stations lol.

Yeah, but depending on the state of style breakout, even with RFID it can still take 5 minutes to find something from a pile of repacks or the dreaded panty boxes lol. The lack of RFID guns (3 in the store, though 1 is lost) make it tough because my team is always using them.

Looking back, this was really good advice and I'd love to say that it worked out, but unfortunately things are busted in the store and I'm taking a lot of the heat for it. Still leading on the fly most weeks, which isn't fair. We had a couple weeks where everything was totally on fire, and my SD...

Sheeeeeeit, the sheer amount of unlocated Style backstock we have right now is consuming so much of our time. I know they can't get it all out, not totally their fault as they have a couple hundred hours a month (!!) stolen from them by Inbound and early GM who have...some rather slow...

Suggested box sizes are also given based on "size of the item" We all know how often that is disgracefully wrong lol. Which is why my ship carts are now often overflowing, or underfilled. My record is L13 down to an S6 (It was literally just a box of something medium sized). I also had an L8...

Question y'all: What is the advantage of having one of my team members dedicated to bagging/stowing? Target wants us to do this at a certain threshold of OPU volume, I think 3500 units. From experimenting with this, I think it leaves gaps where somebody is standing around for several minutes...

How soon are you guys calling backup now? I've been calling them as early as 65 minutes out if I see a bunch of 30+ DPCI batches stacked up, if it looks my team can't make the next set of turnarounds without going deep into red. Trying to avoid those all-hands-on-deck shitshows at all costs lol...
