Ugh... Its that time of year again.
Don't get me wrong I do love my job, but there are times... let me tell you, there are times, when I just want to scream..This just happens to be one of those times.
I'm a backroom and instocks team lead in a low volume store and just so stressed at the moment and I don't feel i'm getting any back up. I have lazy SF-TL's dumping off there backstock from sales planners and endcaps in my backroom as soon as I walk out for the day.
On truck days I have two guys to backstock the truck and there both usually scheduled out at 8.45 despite RWT saying the backstock will not be completed until 3pm. But no one is allowed to stay late. I'm constantly under pressure to drive for results, why aren't your scores solid green, why aren't you following up with instocks, why aren't you doing the drastic count report, why is the backstock not done yet that tub will only take 5 minutes.
I finally gave in and went to see my STL after an all day meeting (Were about to start our P-Fresh remodel) and told her its just not physically possible to do the work that they want with the hours and the people there scheduling me, she basically just told me to suck it up.
What else grinds my gears nothing can ever be just decided we have to have a 20 minute comity about EVERYTHING, Who's supposed to do tune in Tuesday, who is going to pull the PTM's, then when they finally do decide it never actually happens anyway, If i could have a dime for every time i have heard an ETL say to me "don't worry i'll sort it out" to have it not sorted out I would be rich.
I know its February and its our hardest month pay role and hours wise, but there comes a time when you have to give in and say if we are going to succeed as a business we have to invest in the hours.
And honestly in all my years at Target I never remember it being this bad. If I don't die of a stress attack by the end of the year it will be a miracle.
