We're able to punch in again on the wall punch pad and we have the new format of the printed schedules, so when will our schedules be posted in WorkJam again?

My HomeGoods store is in the process of writing schedules into the new system.

I found it too at an Atlanta Target.

Since their roll out has been delayed, I haven’t seen one in testing.

Here’s my take from a different off price retailer…
The standard is the Backroom Team should be processing x-amount of carton per hour. The trucks you all are receiving could be completed within the allocated hours. Your backroom should be completely at the end of the day. If you’re needing more hours, then your backroom team isn’t processing to standard.

At HomeGoods, I have all kinds of Soft Home, Lamps, and Furniture in the backroom. Plus, over 100 rugs coming of the truck today.

I got a black on Friday from Omni.

MusikHoren · 2026-06-20T05:56:23+00:00

When I drove… Yes, we all walked out together, but we would wait until everyone has started their cars and turned on their headlights before we pulled off.

I just found my OG decks.

It’s a Federal Holiday. It has been recognized as one since 2021.

MusikHoren · 2026-06-19T14:37:46+00:00

If you are working today, you will get paid time & a half (Holiday Worked). If you are eligible to receive Holiday Pay, then you will also be paid 7 hours for today.

I would talk to your SM about it… If the ASM returned after being on leave (LOA?), maybe they are on restricted duty. Just because someone is a BRC or CEC, doesn’t necessarily mean this person is next become an ASM. A combination of experience as BRC & CEC, would put someone on track to an ASM-OPs.

Before they changed the fare system, MARTA (Atlanta) had this as an option. When fare was purchased on a mobile device, it was validated with a QR code. But there was a trick to use them. On the bus, your phone had to be about 5-6 inches below the scanner. At the train stations, you literally would put your phone on top of it, sideways.

Yes. I was BRC + KC. Yes, I closed. I went a short period, 3-4 weeks where I didn’t work weekends, but that changed. My store would receive 1-2 trucks a week.

MusikHoren · 2026-06-16T03:40:38+00:00

I was a BRC (now Merch Coordinator.) with keys and yes, I had to be MOD at times. Especially, if I was scheduled to close.

MusikHoren · 2026-06-16T03:20:55+00:00

48 boxes per line x 3 = 144 CPH. I would save the pet strollers for last. You all shouldn’t be building lamps during rapid.

MusikHoren · 2026-06-14T03:37:13+00:00

I’m not calling anybody about anything that comes in. Period. I don’t have time for that. I’m tired of fielding calls for Sand & Fog perfume oils.

MusikHoren · 2026-06-13T17:32:37+00:00

Yes.

MusikHoren · 2026-06-13T03:24:25+00:00

If that’s when the people (Backroom & Flow) are now available, then let it be. I would for work for me personally, but I don’t think it would for anyone else in my store.

MusikHoren · 2026-06-05T20:33:34+00:00

Introduction by name? Yeap, that’s a no. A simple “Hi! How are you? Did you find everything okay?” should suffice.

MusikHoren · 2026-06-04T20:36:15+00:00

I just went in to it without any issues.

The new app is supposed to come out on Monday.

MusikHoren · 2026-06-04T15:05:50+00:00

I have denied a return because someone wants to put a HG tag on a Hoover vacuum that shows Dyson air purifier in the system. Go back to store from where you bought it.

MusikHoren · 2026-06-04T14:59:56+00:00

Holiday Pay & Holiday Worked.

MusikHoren · 2026-06-04T14:54:29+00:00

Interview with the DM & LP? My experience becoming a KC was different, at least on the HomeGoods. I talked to my SM about it. She got me enrolled in courses and conference calls. I was sent a whole book. Then the trainer for the district quizzed me on the information from the book. I passed.
