Does anyone else feel like the team environment is gone at Target? I remember coming in at 10 or 11pm, working a full 8 hours with our team. 20 or so of us all eating and talking in the breakroom. Every couple weeks or do we would requestion breakfast items and they would feed us. We'd have a huddle near daily going over the days sales, news, trends, recognition, etc before 'getting back out there' to finish things up before the store opens. Nearly the whole store would collectively push the refrigerated and frozen pallets on pfresh days. Every day or every other day there would be a huddle project where the morning dayside team would help us (inbound) finish up an area that was particularly heavy that day. Or they would push out, zone or flex seasonal.
To be honest Im pretty quiet and keep to myself but it was nice to see the whole store team come together to work together. Now it seems it's 'this is my area and I shouldn't be expected to help you in yours since I won't meet my goals.'
I used to know all hardlines areas of the store forward and backward. If I was pushing pets food and someone asked where air purifiers we're I'd drop what I was doing and bring the guest right to them. Now they ask me, I still try and bring them but it usually takes some searching (which they could have done or probably did themselves.) I don't remember the last time I walked through or pushed anything besides pet food, paper or chem.
Yes Modernization is here and it's how things are going forward - or until they come up w an even better plan to cut payroll. But how do we get back that 'team feeling's which, at atleast in my store, was so very important and essential? Or is it gone for good?
