I don't know what the hell is going on, but for the last several months I keep getting more work than the Revision says, WASTING my time (EXTREMELY), affecting my good performance into something that make my boss think I am no longer a good worker (F- that I am done with this ridiculous company looking to get a new job soon I am fed up I wish I can take over the job these corporate dumbass does, and can't even do right why do they have that job?!!! I bet I can do no worse!)

So, the problem... I don't know if you other revision/planogram people here also noticed is that, I get revisions that the paper/schematics clearly say doesn't change much, just a few, supposedly I can take care of it in NO time, BUT guess what that wasn't the case at all. I receive like way more label strips than the planogram says. WTF?!??? And, printing a price accuracy (F12) produce the same result. A tons of pegs need to change that NEITHER the paper nor the online planogram said needed to change.

What it does is to change a tons of schematics into a .1, 0.2, 0.3 and I have to waste WAY too much EXTRA
time that I really am not given the hours by my boss.


HATE/LOATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is SO ridiculous, I get my hours from the adjacency calendar Revision hours, and my boss EXPECTS me to get the job done within the hours or faster, but anything slower they would feel like I am not doing a good job.

I completely agree and understand that, but often I can not help it.

Before, I always have divider/pushers planograms that takes longer I need to worry about. These pogs always under estimate these pusher/divider aisles.. Now, I have to even worry about extra labels that the POG didn't even tell me to change and don't get the hours to do it?


This corporate's designers just don't know what they are doing!!!

I don't get why items change from, for example 1-P1-1, 1-P1-2, and 1-P1-3 to 1-P1-1.01, 1-P1-1.02, and 1-P1-1.03 respectively.
 
The revisions have been getting worse and worse. Way too many label strip changes! Some for absolutely no reason. And the schematic numbers are often different from the line listing. Printing them out produces the same result.

What probably happened is that someone, obviously incompetent, got enough redcards to get promoted. Cause we all know what's important. Redcards! No matter that thousands of stores are wasting tens of thousands of hours replacing label strips with incorrect numbers.

More likely someone competent quit, or maybe the whole competent, experienced team quit.

I've noticed this too - maybe 15 label strips in a POG get replaced, but there are absolutely no changes on all but maybe 3 of the strips.

Or the last item is scrunched down at the far end of the strip.

Or the strips show up a week or more late.

Maybe nobody quit but Spot cut staff so much that the team just can't do its job. Whatever the reason it's a huge waste of time, adding hours of frustration to what should be a simple job. What a waste of time and money.
 
It costs Target something like $200,000,000 to run presentation across all its stores. If the directions aren't clear and each team has to waste 1 hour trying to figure them out, that's $100,000. Multiply that 5 days a week for a year and you've got over $25,000,000 in wasted payroll across the company. All so they can save like $250,000 at the HQ level. Typical target... spend $100 to save $1.00
 
I would say it's way MORE than 1 hour per week that's wasted! Oh you meant a day? My bad.
Even that could be 2 hours wasted, depends on which revision that was actually worked on!

But yeah, typical dumb Target practice is that they think cutting experienced people or not ordering equipment to do the job with, to save payroll actually helps. No it completely doesn't, Target need to wake the %!$( UP and stop acting this stupid!!!

What they need to actually cut is redundant work (Which is mountain loads just about daily), and label changes that didn't affect anything. Those are what's wasting time and payroll!!! Your experienced employees and LPDA does not on the other hand waste time and payroll, get a grip Target leaders!!!

The company used to be smarter I thought, all these just out of college grad that have no experience in retail or planogram are running it to bankruptcy!

Did anyone else get 5 revisions for intimates, Dept. 023, dumped on them as of 9/17? Yes, two are merely signing changes, but where is this time accounted for on the adjacency calendar? What a pain.
 
I just did a Revision in electronics today that removed some IPhone cases (Discontinued or Active both I think), but left nothing new except clearances!!!

Real smart, Target! Instead of selling high priced items you are letting what "Essentially can be just moved to a back endcap" taking extra space!

And Video Games is like that too, all the time!

Games we have, we backstock them, leaving a lot of spot empty by default (since they been discontinued for a long time)!

Then, guests came in looking for those games that we send to backstock!!!
 
The problem I have for the electronics revisions is that there are so few titles that remain that I'm flexing games that we have a ton of, like Plants Vs Zombies, across 10 spots to keep those keepers looking filled. MIRs have really hit that section hard. Of course I have like several dozen PC titles I can't fit anywhere.

And let's talk about the entertainment revisions, especially in DVD boxsets and on the Focal where some genius decided it would be a great idea to put short labels on the strips to fit more DVDs/Blu Rays onto the shelf not realizing that the shelf cannot accommodate extra facings. It looks like crap having to stack DVDs sideways to fit them on the shelf. A 4 foot section can only hold 8 DVDs, max.

And of course I'm having issues with revision strips appearing on time. It's time consuming having to place labels individually on aisle and then have the dumb strips appear a week late.
 
we've been having big issues with strips being late or not showing up at all. also - something that i've seen a few times lately, and hadn't noticed a lot before - is that some POGs are getting deleted and moved UP a week. Usually they are pushed back. Example: Hello Kitty shipper - dated for next week, deleted and moved to this week! too bad ISM still thinks its next week and just rolled off the truck yesterday!
 
A nail polish revision that adds multiple shelves - and they didn't send us any fixtures for this. We're still waiting on our backorder fixtures from the new cosmetics rollout...

This. I was so frustrated with the box set aisle that I printed labels and pulled all of the strips. Halfway through the day I was like wait I'm not crazy...There's more product here than can fit.

It's not like this problem wouldn't be easily remedied. Some of those box sets have three or four locations! Maybe use some of that space for other titles instead of having the same ones everywhere I look! Ugh. So frustrating.
 
The solution for both entertainment and video games is to go straight alphabetical split up by genre/system. Get rid of the video game shelves and just do entertainment shelves with all games keepered. Then you can keep your Backroom empty. Still keep endcaps and special sections for consoles and new releases. In entertainment, keep the new release endcaps and put sale stuff or seasonal stuff on endcaps. But everything else should just be sorted by genre, and then alphabetized. You could actually end up condensing the floor pad for entertainment while increasing the selection on the floor, keep the backroom empty, and increase sales. Plus you'd have space for other stuff in the store, even if it is just a couple of aisles. You would need to actually have an entertainment specialists and then the salesfloor needs to be trained to work over there.

Aw but that's logical instead of keeping everyone in the dark on where new items are and where we moved old items and how would we ever keep our fifteen facings of new movies like Defiance then????? And then we'd have to really train someone instead of throwing them into a section with the instructions "good luck".

(There, did I do sarcasm font right? ;) )
 
I feel like Plano TL would be one of hardest TL positions in the entire store. I have no idea how mine does it because they are also a SR TL and have to do LOD shifts

I still dont understand why they change stuff so often, especially if its just moving items around and adding an item here or there. Grocery revisions/transitions are the worst...nothing better than getting double our Friday C+S load because of an upcoming Transition that wont be set for another week or so....sigh...cuz we have ALL the space to put all of that stuff.

Some of our smaller flow trucks are 1600 pieces or so and they have at least 20 people to do it.

Some of our C+S pushes are 500-600 maybe even more and they give us like 4 people for 4 hours....hmmmm....this math does not add up

Its even worse when it is transition because we have to set it all aside by itself and marking it transition

This. I've talked to my bosses about this exact thing for months, but I still get no extra hours bc taking two days to finish a grocery truck is "just how we've always done it."

That is completely unacceptable...it should be done when you push it out no matter what...same with backstocking it.

As a PA it drives me nuts because I have to spend 2-3 hours helping them otherwise it wont be done...so basically every single week the market workcenter is down 5 or so hours and those go to the C+S push.

Usually I will push out all of the Bakery from the Frozen push and all of the Meat from the Dairy Push and then help with whatever else needs to be done..

Friday sometimes makes me want to pull my hair out and is super stressfull.

1. Milk comes in and its always like 150+ gallons that need to be pushed to the floor. They come anywhere from 7-10. Its always great when they come in BEFORE Dairy has been broken down because they we have to pull out the milk pallet they leave before we can even get to the C+S push.
2. Freshness Friday at 8- Have to spend time checking dates and then QMOSing everything we find.
3. Have to backstock ALL of the Pfresh Pulls BY MYSELF before 9 so C+S has green racks to use.
4. Have to do the order
5. Have to QMOS everything from C+S truck
6. Have to push C+S to make sure it is done on time
