ETL-Essential and ETL Style? Oh great so I guess we're going back to ETL-Hardlines and ETL-Softlines basically.

ETL- Style - Will likely oversee Softlines, Home, Electronics, Cosmetics and GE

ETL- Essential Will oversee Paper, Chemicals, Pets etc.... and Logistics (Whoop there it is)

also, I am hearing the removal of having a specific LOD

[/QUOTE]

Getting rid of ETL Logistics is idiotic.

 

[BigEyedPhish]

Wasn't it just last year where we heard. "In-stocks, In-stocks, and more In-stocks".

If anything ETL-Log should remain , to oversee Store Deliveries, Backroom, Receiving processes, Flexible Fullfilments, (Ship-From-Store, which will literally most likely be Target's last hope), Truck Push, Backroom Safety, the PMT, and all he is responsible for.

Alright I gave up.

I honestly view that ETL-Logistics job in such a high regard that ETL-Log and STL merging, would be easier than this idiotic idea.

 

[SFSFun]

In the long-term goal of having no backstock and replenishment by the eaches, I can see a reduced need for an ETL-Log. But we are a long way away from that.

Target executives emphasize innovation on week of employee meeting

No backstock.
I'd have that if they would stop sending books that went back on MIRs a while ago or just books I didn't carry in general. Same with CDs but books are the biggest culprit.

They need to either a) create an endcap for NOP CDs and books like they do for video games, or b) find a way for us to clear that crap out.

Quite a few people do not like my STL. But he delivers good results in logsitics, there's no denying that. He ran truck for a week. That backroom was gorgeous.

 

[Yetive]

I'm not sure my STL knows where the trucks are unloaded.

Just kidding! Let's all pat ourselves on the back while Rome burns.

'Fiddling while Rome burns' - the meaning and origin of this phrase

"Today, Chip and Joanna Gaines—the duo behind Magnolia and the hit HGTV show “Fixer Upper”—stopped by Target’s Fall National Meeting in Minnesota to surprise team members with some big news.

This November, Target will launch Hearth & Hand with Magnolia, an exclusive home and lifestyle brand designed in partnership with Chip and Joanna. It’s Magnolia’s first time working with a retailer to design and create product, and with over 300 items spanning tabletop, home décor and giftables, it’s one you don’t want to miss. The best part? It’s not a limited time collab—this partnership will last multiple years, and will refresh season after season, bringing Target’s guests stylish home goods on an ongoing basis. The first collection arrives on Nov. 5, just in time for holiday gatherings."

This New Home and Lifestyle Brand by Chip and Joanna Gaines is Only at Target

Oh shit I love Chip and Joanna Gaines this is actually hella exciting I love their furniture

 

[atceiah]

Eh no ETL-Log means nothing at my store. He is always over in Market anyways.

 

[tgtguy]

Spot wants to go on and on about saving money and cutting costs.....Yet, all the money they spend on this "meeting" every fall. Hotels, airfare, entertainment, food etc there is no telling how much they spent on all that .

*Speaker- can we rebound to the days we ACTUALLY was a kick-ass retailer?? Payroll? You got it. Working equipment? You got it?

*Us- (faints)

I will answer all of these questions with another.

"Why is there no ETL-Log?".

E2E WORKS IN SOME STORES AND IN OTHERS IT DOESN'T

 

[BigEyedPhish]

E2E WORKS IN SOME STORES AND IN OTHERS IT DOESN'T

Which as we all know Target, two years from now, (with their payroll cuts), it will work for none.

 

[NKG]

Grocery remodel id imagine be a hot topic.

 

[oath2order]

OOH AND SQUASHING UNIONS

 

[Bosch]

Wasn't it just last year where we heard. "In-stocks, In-stocks, and more In-stocks".

But do it on only enough hours for one person and a half all week. Then bitch that the floor is empty.

 

[WinterRose]

so there will no longer be ETL Food?

55 years of retail experience and Target is still throwing good money after bad. Stop innovating. Start investing. Build quality team members and support them. Give them benefits that mean something. Give them better reasons to clock in and be productive. A happy workforce is a strong workforce. Train them consistently across the boards. Go back to a solid foundation and your house won't feel so unsteady.

This and when you have good people who know what the fuck they are doing, guess what? Shit gets done and you don't need layers and layers of managers to constantly check up on them or all these metrics to meet. Corp you do your part give us what we need to do it, and you get asses through the door we will stuff their carts with stuff they don't even need!
