Well I think that a “ team” means everyone helps everyone. I have seen other TL work with there team members
I know we don’t need her to do our work. When you are scheduled for consumables and you are not back helping to push the truck or push one for one pulls then it is super annoying. She doesn’t listen to any of our ideas she immediately shoots them down and destroys them. If she does come back she usually does something not related to the task on hand i.e. the truck, the truck should be number one priority however she will decide to go and pull some expired product from the Backroom or go look at her email. She doesn’t have her priorities straight when it come to working in her department.
You’ve got a real winner there...🙄
Only 1 team member per uboat. So it’s an individual thing no team here. Yesterday I had to break down 2 dairy pallets onto 9 uboats push them all. Then push the 6 fast movers out of produce.
I agree 100%. When I was a Lead I always did the work, sometimes I was the hardest worker on my team lol. You can lead and coach and still move your ass. I once had a store manager tell me that I should be able to wear white gloves to work because my hands should not be getting dirty - I almost laughed in his face. It's a nice theory but in practice, if I wanted things to really get done and to my standards I had to be out there in the trenches, coaching and training yes, but also leading by example.
Which department do you lead or did you lead? She’s doesn’t do her salesplans. Planogram or I set all of her sales plans because if we waited for her to do them the sales plan would be expired/discontinued. In fact I set one today because “I don’t have time to do it”. She doesn’t even know the department she puts snack that comes from C&S i.e. archer farms trail mix into candy because “it comes off the same pallet” my co worker and I have corrected her on several occasions. If you are going to be a TL you should know your department. She doesn’t do any kind of schedule and she rarely covers for Starbucks. She makes Starbucks TM,s figure their breaks out. As far as clearing the Backroom for backstock today her and I were pulling one for one and she said “ do not pull any full cases just pull lose items we don’t need the full cases” we have almost no room for full cases in the Backroom and when I explained to her that we needed to pull the full cases because we need that product on the floor. She still said well don’t pull any full cases . This is lack of leadership. She didn’t understand my reasoning behind pulling the full cases which I did pull them and then she told the Senior HR director that I was being rude and disrespectful. As far as training goes she trained a new team member and he works just as slow as her.
It seems like Target is moving away from team work these days. At the store I work at I have to push the freezer by myself and my co worker has to push cooler by herself. We are not allowed to work on the same thing if she is pulling the pulls then I have to work the truck or work on pricing instead of pushing her pulls.
I mean it’s easier to manage casepacks and as long as it’s working properly your open stock locations should be older product. Also you can’t sweep back open stock so you want to pull Waco’s before casepacks for those reasons. But what I assume this person is referring to is their aisle has too many casepacks and their open stock is full so if you know you’re going to sell it I can see the argument to open your casepacks and back stocking the remainder in open stock to clear out some case pack locations but that seems silly. Same reason MOVE will path you to open stock first
There is a reason when I transferred store all my team quit. I worked my ass of and they would work even harder for me . Lead by example and you will get far , be shitty and see how your A players becomes C players .
