So Im new to Target barely into my BC but I see alot on here about payroll issues. What does that really mean? How can this be fixed should I encounter this issue in the store that I am placed?
My store overspends on logistics and makes up for it by slashing from every other workcenter. It's a great morale boost, being told to do more with less because the ETL-LOG is a special snowflake who needs more hours for his team than everyone else.
I am not saying that the log process doesn't go over on payroll. However, this is the second time you have somewhat attacked a whole team within a team ( the log team). Last time you were saying how the log team thinks they are better than everyone else etcl I assure you the log team in your store and every other store is not the only reason stores are over on payroll. I also know that as a member of the log team ( I am backroom) that our hours get cut right along with every else. Maybe you should ask to work, flow a week or so and see what its like.My store overspends on logistics and makes up for it by slashing from every other workcenter.

People who bash flow for overspending, think about these things. When the schedule is made, there is no idea whatsoever how big those trucks will be. It takes a lot more time to work a 3000 piece truck than it does a 2000 piece truck. Also repacks can be the knife to the throat. When you get hit with 250 repacks you are looking at a shit ton more hours. Granted you have no idea how many guests will be in the building either. The big difference is that everyone in the building is required to assist with service. Flow does flow. And if you add an extra truck, you don't get extra hours. It is the biggest team in the store so the potential to overspend the most is simple math. We don't have enough hours ANYWHERE! Eventually someone may figure that out. I'm not holding my breath though
Obviously, the is problem is a sense of urgency. If you worked with a higher sense of urgency, there wouldn't be an hours problem.
Now if I could just figure out how to change the font to that sarcasm font.
