I don't want to run my own business, I want to take orders.

Imagine running your own business for at most $30k a year.

They’re al aye going to need people to make sure TMs are staying busy and coaching when necessary. There will always be opportunities that the TL needs to address. I could see the argument of getting rid of ETLs in low volume stores the same way small formats do but busy stores will always have a need for salaried help.

I would absolutely take "running my own business and taking 30k a year" over working at Target.

ETLs at my store are taking the brunt of this whole “no overtime” crap. They are working up to 16 hr/day ,6 days/week.
ETLs , atleast in our store are filling the gap this massive payroll cut has created.
You may feel like you “own the business” and if you do, congratulations the Kool Aid has kicked in and you’ve been broken in.
Management hierarchy has existed since the beginning of time and its not going away anytime soon.

I can't get the dbo thing done in my department because of scheduling and needing to hire.

I had six dayside people and four will be gone in four weeks, two are gone now and one has 2 weeks left.

"I need six more people that stay. Hire me 12." Hr laughs. "I'm serious. It's going to get stupid in about 2 weeks. They don't need to be great or even good. I just need options." (We are in the top tier of stupidity for btc.)

 

[Moosechives]

We can't even consistently get our DBOs to backstock their crap let alone pull their cafs. God forbid my Flex team actually gets the orders that we're forecast and can't be pulled to do them.

 

[nomadattarget]

As much as I’s like no TLs and ETLs but who would pick up our slack when we call out? Who would finish our shit when we leave on time and still have shit to push/backstock? and most importantly they are there to run the team and solve our problems ect... just sayin’

 

[Aredhel]

And Q4 is knockin’ at the door.

I don't want to run my own business, I want to take orders.

Agree. I don't want to be in charge or own anything, I just take care of my regular responsibilities or do what a leader tells me to do.

Hell no, I'm not doing an ETL or TL job for 13-15 bucks an hour. At this point in my life, I'm not doing it for any amount.

I mean literally "running my own business" like a small shop or something

Lol do yours do that? Ours just leave it all for the next day. 😂

 

[nomadattarget]

Yep ours do that lol cuz we get 2 trucks almost every single day so if we leave it all like yours did for the next day there would be like 3 trucks 😂😂😂

I used to tell my father when I was young that we should open our own business and he was all HELL no, you work your ass off more for yourself than you ever would for someone else, plus any and everything that goes wrong is your headache.

 

[can't touch this]

plus any and everything that goes wrong is your headache.

sounds familiar

That's literally what happens with us lol. Until someone finally drops some payroll and asks the GMs to come in early/on their days off to catch up. 🙄

I wouldn't mind the DBO thing if it ran like it does in corporate's "pie in the sky" daydreams.... how many of you actually get enough hours and left alone enough to actually be a proper DBO?

 

[Not My Name]

Imagine running your own business for at most $30k a year.

Whilst obviously a joke, it's pretty much not funny because... you don't have any risk as an employee. Not really... you can walk away at any time and start over. Someone who owns a business can't just walk away like that. So no... not the same thing.

As far as enough hours go, the DBOs at my store get 40, but it seems like we're in the minority.

to be honest thats my whole thing I just wanna come in, get tasks to do, complete, sense of accomplishment and go home


I feel like target wants to take away the sense of accomplishment =(
