How this has changed. Ten years ago, it was threats of severe punishment if you were away from the desk too long back there. Sigh. And heaven forbid you have someone to help you sort.

Yep, at my old store practically all of ours quit because their hours were slashed so horribly. Any replacements that came in quit after a couple of weeks. It's a grand old time and they started sending cashiers (advocates, whatever) out to get carts when it's slow at night. They call out to...

Sounds like the no backups things is working really well.

Back in June, our (whatever GE turned into) ETL told us there would be no more backups at the lanes. They'd schedule enough cashiers, they'd use the line buster thing, and they would shift people around up front (guest service, cafe, Starbucks, etc.) to cover any rushes. When I quit in August...

This is true, but every Labor Day weekend, I'm in my classroom, prepping for the start of school. So not everyone gets a holiday weekend per se. (And yes, I know that I'm choosing to be in my room. But my mental health dictates it.)

I agree. We all have deadlines to meet though. I don't finish my tasks in market, I get seen as someone who is too slow and will probably get performanced out. It's not so much the backing up at the lanes though. It's the fact that everyone BUT GM is answering phone calls and guest questions on...

Haha, right? I don't think it was fully Target's fault that Canada didn't work out. I think the retail climate there was a factor and it was too bad it went the way it did. But that's my opinion. Not aiming to ruffle feathers. I wish I knew the solution to see modernization succeed. I just know...

I haven't worked much this summer since I was working full time elsewhere, but man...WHY can't we figure this out? (if you're in a store that HAS figured out this modernization thing, congrats, but I feel like a lot of us are drowning.) I had a TM in another area today tell me they're behind on...

I miss coming clean and leaving with a good zone at the end of the night. The old days of price change (pre-2013), even when we had to come in at 4am because of the huge workload. Our wet photo lab, being dayside backroom, and my friends who worked backroom that I knew I could easily distract. :)

I'm half tempted to send this to my graduate advisor (since I'm not returning to finish my master's).

Several of us GM people went to market specifically for this reason. Even Style has been doing better the last couple of months. But GM is a HUUUUUUGE mess. Some of it I do blame the ETL for, since she does next to nothing other than wandering around and ONLY talking to the male TLs she...

I would really like to know how this is supposed to work with such minimal people. I'm in food & bev and we are constantly pulled for guest requests in other areas because there's no one else. I used to think that it was a closing thing, but I've worked two mids now and we are STILL pulled for...

Last night was the first night I didn't finish everything. Why? Because I had to constantly pick up other's slack. Beauty hid in the backroom most of the night and I had to help guests find things in HBA since it's close to market. Had to help another guest in sporting goods because there was no...

Dear corporate, I'm tired of being behind constantly. I'm tired of time wasted because we have so much stuff to move in the backroom to get to product. I'm tired of my milk flats clipping every single uboat, forcing me to go a different direction, thus taking more time and having more people...

Yep. I'm still waiting on this too. They forgot to post the second truck that sits there for days because it was a double and there aren't enough hours to unload both. I'm not sure ours are going down, but my ETL told me she wanted me full time this summer. I almost laughed in her...

Last night they were replacing the steel on the line. They were almost done by the time we left at close, but it made a big hassle trying to get to receiving or the baler. I had an entire uboat of cardboard that I had to wait to toss because I couldn't get in there. The new steel is now higher...

We also have a closing lead and a closing expert. Except I think our expert might be leaving because I saw "closing expert" on the positions needing to be filled (unless there's more than one?) They're trying SO hard not use the LOD term, but most people still do anyway. I feel like they just...

Maybe we're still rolling this thing out...but at my store, we still have GSAs, some ETLs close during the week, we aren't harping on name changes, etc. The biggest thing is they're pushing "style" instead of the "softlines" label, but everything else is sloooooooowly going. Anyone else running...

I'll never forget the circus that was Missoni.

We get to wear jeans. It makes up for it.
