I've only been with Spot for about two years, for that period we've been a high-volume, $50mil sales store with a great location, but always had problems and ranked near the bottom of the district in most scores. So I've just been curious, and have done a lot of asking around to the long-term employees at my store and some friends who have worked at other Targets - is it possible to turn it around long-term? If it matters, this is mostly from a logistics standpoint - out on the salesfloor it looks shiny and pretty enough, in the backroom and during the truck push I really see how ugly it is.
We've had a few weeks when everything seemed to go right and we pushed the whole truck, got the backroom clean, and our scores jumped. Then the next week we hit a few bumps in productivity, lost a lot of hours to call-offs, and went right back to the bottom. We have acquired a lot of leadership with excellent credentials over the time I've been here (I've seen an improvement in TL and ETL quality) and have a brand-new STL with a reputation for turning red stores around. I'm just curious, has anyone ever seen a real turn-around before? Did it last? Or is this all a myth meant to keep us grinding away at low wages in unpleasant working conditions?
