No. I don’t think the scheduled OT is ever going away, it’s been constant for at least 2 years now in our building, and has only gotten worse with giving everyone who applies a job, whether they physically can do this type of work or not. Now it seems like about half the teams are newer who can’t keep up and don’t even try, so they just drag the rest of us down with them.

We do lower plans with more people than we used to and struggle to do it!
I dont think you could physically fit enough people to handle the plans we have without doing OT.
My OB team has gone from ~30 a few years ago to close to 80 now. And we still have overtime every week and are so far behind they sent in help from another DC.
Target isn't losing the market share it gained from Covid. This is just how its going to be. Enjoy the $1,000 paychecks while they last i say.

Sure they can plan for 100k but they won’t get it. In the picking side they “plan” for 400 ssps an hour some days. When the new folks are picking better zones and move slower than molasses and the tenured people are picking more difficult zones, there is no way on gods green earth that will happen. Then they have the leads go around and do standard of work audits to find out why. Well it’s because of your piss poor planning. That’s why.
I hate that excuse about tenured people getting difficult zones. I know at my dc some tenured people get difficultly zones they complain and do not doing anything all day. Everyone tenured or new should do all the zones. I been at Target for 15 years I get my numbers in any zone i most of the time. That's way sheets, combo, kitchen are always losing los. My dc always put new people in there. The dc does not care about los just got 100k out who care if it the stuff they stores need.

I'm wondering how that's going. We got asked last month about volunteering to go help another DC. Which is weird since we've been 3-4 days behind ourselves for months. People are finding out about the relaxed absenteeism policy right now so were having large groups of people call out\leave early.
