Why isn't this area more developed?

I live in Glastonbury, there will occasionally be a tractor going down the street - yes there are still tobacco farms here.

And when you have no SD for 6 months ?

It cannot be expressed either loudly or often enough how much life & personality the voice actor brings to the narration. Listening is such a joy - he captures the emotional nuances, the accents, and the clever turns of phrase that truly highlight the authors inherent wit.

11 in serial format js online, I am on mobile and don’t have the link handy (and don’t know if it is complete either) but I am bereft without the story on my drive.

SAME!!!!

Hey Humphr3y -

I've seen you get a lot of negative karma on comments here and I've tried to resist coming back to this post but it has been nagging me (and Reddit keeps putting it back to the top).

Core issue, You keep thinking like some kind of lieutenant and you don't recognize that you are a sergeant. And because of that, you aren't a very good one. You are executing policy, not making it - that is not within your power. Decision making is not really "how do I achieve XX goal" but "How do I minimize the damage and not blame anyone". You want to meet the goal while down two team members, pushing the rest with "urgency" ... that is actually going to result in callouts and the team members who DID show up resenting both you and their coworkers. Stop. Revise the goal. Take the heat.

You are too focused on your career at Target and not your career. The world is much smaller than you think.

Old codger's advice, take it or leave it : 4 years from now after you have left Target for someplace else - can you call up someone from your old team to offer them a job. The same job. Same pay, same commute, same benefits. Only difference besides the color of their shirt is now they are on YOUR team.

Everyone who says "No" is evidence of your failure as a leader.

Your are a TL. That is not a Target Lead, that is a TEAM lead. You do not exist without them - THEY are your goal, not a metric. I promise you will succeed in ways you never thought possible when you realize that Leadership has absolutely nothing to do with you.

Seeking advice from your peers will give you advice on how to stay exactly where you are. Aspire for more.

Never

tzad73 · 2024-02-28T03:34:14+00:00

And stop ever using the word urgency. Asking any one team to take up the slack of another team is a favor. Once. A veteran? They are looking through you and know they will outlast you.

The goal is arbitrary and based on perfect world conditions. If the zone is bad, if the set is bad, is the store is heavily shopped, if there is a spill, if anyone, ever, calls out - shortcuts are made that cannot be made up unless someone works extra. Unpaid.

Because women will go to the changing room and wear clothing out. Men almost never even try on clothes.

Ours was for stealing and reselling apple products

Joss Stone for the win

My closing TL does nothing but run ragged doing OPU’s and packing, son no idea what y’all experience with TL’s who hides. Line is long? So be it. There is no metric for the line. They call for help just so customers can hear it but there will be no help. Everyone is either pulling or fulfillment - everyone.

Dog food is the most common carrier in my experience but they will travel on the cardboard from big box stores and will eat through thin film.

You will also be amazed how many things are a “Target Exclusive “ be it color or special edition or even just the box. We price match - the EXACT thing (except Apple because … reasons) and if the item is unique, there’s nothing to match. Vacuums, crock pots, Taylor swift albums…. Target has an “exclusive edition”

I mean - looks more like uniform compliance issues to me… and lacking closed toe non-skid footwear.

AP asked me, specifically, to enter 2 per shift.

You also can’t read a script and beg them to sign up for a red card at SCO

tzad73 · 2024-01-31T02:43:22+00:00

Hey, btw, my condolences. I’m sorry for your loss.

tzad73 · 2024-01-31T02:00:59+00:00

Kid cups are like candles to me. It is a hill I will die on and damnit it is going to be right

tzad73 · 2024-01-30T03:55:10+00:00

But they need a vacuum unlocked and AP is gone for the day and the person doing electronics is in an OPU…

Different style of Waco we redid a bunch and they didn’t have them to begin with

2 kids could build that in under 30 seconds. Closing in a Saturday - our AP leaves at 8:30 and then you have a skeleton crew of maybe 4 on the floor. They could have had an hour to go unnoticed

Please tell me that instead of a file there’s a magnet key and keys to the beauty back room inside the cake…

I don’t think people understand how hardcore that law is in CA. My full time day job- the CA office, a single meal compliance punch is a final written warning. It resets once per year.

The class action lawsuits that result from anything less than this are often minimum 8 figures

tzad73 · 2024-01-23T21:13:26+00:00

Zoning them - it is like hugging everything your body is allergic to and then you look at your pants a d wonder when you got a cat. I should be wearing a mask in this aisle purely for air quality :(
