These are the Good Ole Days

[Black Sheep 214]

The corporate offices must be the most blissful place on earth...😂

 

[Ringwraith917]

I miss 2019 😓

 

[Mikuhl]

I miss myWork search actually working.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

I miss the pda

 

[balthrop]

I miss the pda

a thousand million times this

 

[Tarshitsucks]

I miss my hours. Seriously 10.50 hours in middle of pandemic fuckers.

I miss my hours. Seriously 10.50 hours in middle of pandemic fuckers.

File for Under-employment. That money plus the $600 federal bonus should make you whole.

 

[jackandcat]

I miss life five months ago, before the COVID-19 outbreak, before shutting down most retail businesses and a huge amount of the US economy, and before the tragedy of George Floyd's death.

ITT:the things that Target is doing well and you will mourn the loss/change of in the future.

I'll start with POGs. If they ever change everything to VMs I'll have an aneurysm.

Tolerating the existence of TBR. So helpful.

Having things on location in the backroom, as opposed to randomly stored in a general area.

Prior to 2005, Target was paradise. Everything was organized and located properly. Every TM usually had one role. Rare to have to cross-train.

Robert J. Ulrich days...

If you worked 4 hours a week, you still had benefits.

I suspect that, in the next couple years, you won't STO/SUBT anymore and stuff will just be unlocated in back.

It was like that once upon a time. It would only begin to work if there was 1/4 of the freight we have in the back. But they will still try it any ways. I give that a right and proper NO. I don't want to go back to that. It would be like when I saw the sale paper it took me back to a time when we had we had different paper for each program. What would be next; going back to not having a wave or a power jack? Yes there was a time we didn't have those.

You must have started on '04 or '05 huh? Lol. No job is paradise. There were plenty of problems then too I'm sure, and in the moment it seemed like hell. I started in '05. I remember the zone was terrible and a huge focus, backroom team bitched about sales floor and vice versa.

I miss getting 40 hours a week to just backstock our coolers and freezers. This was a thing for me for 8 years. We frequently got 900 to 1200 piece FDC's so it was needed.

 

[Far from newbie]

I miss Online planogram

 

[seasonaldude]

I miss an epick app that could display special characters properly.

 

[PackAndCry]

I miss POGs being set properly because we had a POG team who knew how to do their jobs. I miss TLs mapping out their endcaps in the correct location so you don't have four (!!!) of the same endcap in kitchen.

But I ONLY have instapots and nothing else!

 

[Rastaman]

I miss having pricing, pogo, flow and backroom teams. Now everything done half assed because no one has time to do it properly along with trucks everyday and hours being cut.

I miss having offstage time to plan and follow up.

 

[RunForACallBox]

Target has lost so much focus.

 

[PackAndCry]

But I ONLY have instapots and nothing else!

Ha, even before the pandemic, we had 4 of the "plastic RE dishware" endcap because the DBO sets it in a different place each time.

To be fair, it was supposed to move at least 3 of those times according to the adjacency

 

[rog the dog]

I miss myWork search actually working.

It's gotten to the point where I can't even get it to work if i try 500 times

 

[PackAndCry]

Oh, I know. They have no clue how to look at the adjacency and neither does their TL.
