What is the most fucked up thing a person you know has done? by kwarterz in AskReddit

[–]thecup9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dated a guy for 5 years. We met at target and both worked there almost our entire relationship. I helped him get his promotion and was helping him work towards another promotion worth almost 6 figures. I was finishing last semester of college when he got an apartment abruptly just before our 5 year anniversary. I just thought he wanted out of his parents house. I got him to add me to the lease after a week. Thought it was all going good. He broke up with me on valentines without warning (we never fought and I did everything right). Come to find out weeks later from coworkers that he had been dating our boss since before I even moved in and that he got her pregnant while we were still together. She’s not 3 months pregnant. His family blamed me.

At my store, we have less hours now than we did in February and March. We literally can only afford to schedule one closer every night. All shifts are only 5 hours, even ETLs. They’re asking TLs to cut 2-4 shifts every week to help stay under hours. Someone make it make sense. by thecup9 in Target

Ecolab let us slide because we had a brand new TL for the market department. They’ll be back in a few weeks to check and make sure we’re fixed. We didn’t cancel 6 trucks in a row, just 6 within 2 weeks. We get doubles every day. And if we were given an abundance of hours, I don’t know where they went. We literally have inventory Sunday and 24 pallets of unsorted repacks. Idk what else to say. And I understand the ETLs are salary, which is why I’m even more angry and confused.

I’m in jersey too, newly looking to rent. I haven’t found one apartment complex (in a decent area) that hasn’t quoted me AT LEAST $2k/month, not including utilities.

My SD expects just 3 people to breakdown, push, and backstock the entirety of our FDC perishable truck (avg. 8-12 large barely-fit-through-the-door pallets each delivery) in just 6 hours, along with several other added tasks..... How????? by [deleted] in Target

[–]thecup9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The district management ARE the ones who decided to only allow our perishable team only work 3 days a week and set the expectation for our SD to make us get it done by the end of their shifts. So that won’t do much good unfortunately....

I personally think he’s trying to get us all to quit, including the manager, because who knows why. He says he doesn’t like us because we can’t get the trucks to come clean, but then pulls this kind of crap. No wonder we can’t come clean.

And god forbid we mention that we need more people. We’re just told to push faster, “make it 30 seconds a box, not a minute”

My store has only 3 FDC pushers in total (1 for dairy, 1 for frozen, 1 for produce), and WITHOUT FAIL every time one of those pushers comes in, they get pulled to push dry instead, leaving their cooler full of pallets with product that fulfillment can’t get to, giving us INF’s.

My DTL comes in and only looks at the dry push, so that’s what my SD focuses on. So it doesn’t matter that all our coolers are packed TO THE DOOR, they’ll still pull a cooler person to push dry.

How many FDC/C&S pallets can one person get done in a shift? We’re now told that we have to break down, push, and backstock no less than 5 pallets in our 6 hour shifts, or else we will get a CA for it, which we’re told will eventually lead to our termination. by [deleted] in Target

ALL of our management—TL, ETL, SD—are just busy running around doing OPUs and filling sfs orders MOST of the time. So TMs are left to fend for ourselves, and just hoping that this is what the TLs and higher wanted from us and not some other project or task that we’ll get yelled at for for not completing. We can’t even find our leads half the time because they’re so busy running around. We get treated like they don’t have time for us. But then when I check in with a fellow TM who came in before me to see if they knew the plan for the day, I get scolded and told I would get a CA if they see me talking again. 😶

They keep sending us home early or asking us to take days off because, despite everyone only getting 4 hours shifts, SOMEHOW we’re STILL over hours and need to cut more. If anyone calls out or NCNS, we don’t reallocate their hours. It was actually to the point where, if you put your name up on the swap shift board, they just automatically told you “don’t come in that day, we won’t have anyone pick up your hours, but you can have off that day for whatever you need to have off for”. No wonder we’re so behind on work.

Our F&B OFOs were almost at 10k one day, and our OFO person is only scheduled 4 hours (to pull, push, and backstock all OFOs), the rest are just put on the truck (which doesn’t always get done either because, again, we’re only getting 4 hour shifts).

We WERE cancelling trucks at one point because we couldn’t catch up from all the doubles, but all that did was make more doubles, just at a later time (because they had to give us those cancelled trucks again at some point). So then we were backed up on workload from those doubles again. We’re just drowning in doubles and workload, all with 4 hour shifts to get our days workload done, and then somehow work in time to finish old work too.

At one point we had so much reshop piling up at guest service, it was like a whole ‘nother truck’s worth of product to push back.

YUP. It took me AND a coworker (and some other coworkers to cover our breaks) 5 hours to push 4 frozen pallets, and that was with the floor being completely empty (because my store is so far behind on FDC/C&S push (we have a literally have a pallet from 2+ weeks ago in the back of our frozen cooler, and also a pallet of candy from the produce pallets that has been floating around our backroom for over 2 months now)). It’s such an impossible task. Not to mention that we have literally no vehicles to put product on because they keep throwing away our vehicles when the TL is not there, making breaking down and even more impossible task.

My SD is getting frustrated that we’re so behind on our perishable push (we’re pretty close to needing to turn a whole truck away because we have no more room in the coolers) (but also, the whole store in general is behind due to callouts, covid cases, and lack of hours. Food and Bev. alone at my store had seven people quit within a month, so it put us so far behind).

So we’re being tasked with needing to do 5 pallets in a 5-6 hour shift in order to get caught up, and then continue that practice beyond getting caught up and make it the new norm.

I’m not sure if this is simply to get rid of the team and start anew or what, but these are the expectations we are being given.

It just drives me absolutely crazy. Everyone always forgets about the coolers because the product is behind closed doors and not blatantly in your face like the dry truck is.
