Archived New Mission Statement

[PlanoDude]

My STL informed us during today's huddle of our new mission statement, which is now apparently called a purpose statement, which pretty much translates to give the guest what they want, when they want it, how they want it. I cant find it on Target's site yet, so i don't know if its officially been changed yet or what.

What's everyone's thoughts on the new purpose statement?

The guest be damned! Stay out of my aisle while im setting it!

Well thats what i think, what i would say is, sure whatever you say lol

Don't forget that you must put Target before team.

I am assuming they are referring to the "We fulfill the needs and fuel the potential of our guests" statement... as that is the newest thing.

If we didn't have happy, loyal guests, we wouldn't receive regular, stable paychecks.

OK, that might be a bit too long...

Well then that should replace the need for so many managers in each building just need 2 and 2 key carriers ..no need to have any guest complaints if we give it all away as we already do, this company is sinking and its like throwing everything overboard to stay afloat ,grab your life raft and hang on ....

That is as outdated as the picture. The headers are all old style... from at least 2008.

So when does the fully stocked shelves part happen?

 

[JVP409]

Sounds like we are going to focus on sales and service instead of process and team. Like a retailer is supposed to! Anyone that has worked for any other retailers should recognize this.

What about red cards? Also, the tm stories are from 2014.

So when does the fully stocked shelves part happen?

When all the guests leave because they can't find anything on the shelves.

Well we are well on our way, because we had three closers all weekend. The store looks like a tornado went through it! Yay, mission statement!
