How Bad Is Your Store?

[seasonaldude]

It’s 2pm and we are just now unloading the second trailer. Inbound team is gone so leaders are back there unloading, LOOOOL.

Good luck with that. Back in October we had an extra truck suddenly added and weren't given inbound hours to cover it. SD and a TL threw, not even the inbounds TL because it was her off day. ETLs did the sort. They were all so proud of themselves and giving each other high fives after they were done. It was the worst fucking sort I've ever seen. It only took them a couple of hours, so that was pretty good for a first time. But, putting yogurt on a toys Uboat and other such stuff? Oh my.

I’m just glad I’m off tomorrow

 

[Times Up]

Every single DBO only gets 3-4hr shifts

You have TMs willing to come in for a 3 hour shift????

I did (as a cart attendant).

Inventory is in 3 days...

Ours is 2 weeks. Last year inventory was canceled due to the pandemic. Um we are still in a pandemic why are we doing inventory??
the first priority is the health of you and our team members I think not. 😢

Omg I got anxiety looking at those backroom pictures. I’d have a fit if I walked into that everyday!

Found out today that all we need at my store to come clean on freight is to finally have a night with only one truck.

Don’t know if this will fit in this thread so if not all turn it into a cat photo or something.

our STL has decided to have an open door policy type of thing on a set on say Fri and Sat every one that was told this laughed and walked away.

now that came be read as rude TMs or some fatalistic rigamarole. But it is a good idea but from what I gather no one believes there will be any positive change.

You're having issues at the store, and STL has decided to look for feedback from team members?

I have told our DTL as such. Why would I want to share things with a leader who has told TM's they were garbage? In those exact words not meaning that but those exact words.

Yes, but no one has faith in the management team at our store.

to be fair that is my overall feeling and I’ve not polled all TMs. So we are probably not all that disgruntled but enough to cause concern. most of the new to 3 year people this dysfunctionality is the norm the rest of us this is pure dystopian hellscape.

 

[jenna]

I feel like our suggestions are ignored, too.

I just stopped bringing things up, because it didn’t make a difference.

 

[Rastaman]

Yes. Our HRBP posted an "open listening" call for TL concerns a few months back.

Um, no thanks. Just keep my head down and my mouth shut. Didn't want to be the next TL to be "performanced out"

 

[happygoth]

Man I am so lucky. My SD and HR-ETL are just chill and easy to talk to. I would feel 100% comfortable talking frankly with either of them.

 

[ephemerallll]

Even the ETLs at my store are intimidated by the SD imagine how we TMs feel 😐

 

[RunForACallBox]

I trust almost 0 leadership at my store. Except for my own leader.

Wise choice.🤐😁

You can't call someone garbage without meaning you think they are garbage.

Funny . Ours occasionally...like I v seen twice in 6 months...etl come out in pairs to work a single flat of sterilite or U-boat of hba. Pairs. Then walk away half done. Can't wait to try that out myself. Its actually a showstopper. They look so out of their element yet the SD is just beaming at "his team".

 

[RunForACallBox]

These have got to be leaders that have never actually worked a day in their lives.

 

[FlowTeamChick]

Wow. After seeing these photos and reading this thread, I see that my store is a well-oiled machine in comparison! Not perfect, but pretty good.

[PackAndCry]

We got in trouble for our service hub calls getting ignored, so now when we do our brand walks we have to set each one off and immediately clear it on the device.

 

[Yetive]

brand walks

What is this, 2010?

I don't know what dumbass thought shelves were a good storage mechanism for pillows anyway--this will NEVER be able to look good with these big pillows they seem to want to sell. They need to get off their brand high horse and get some bins.
