I'm a planner. I like to have a plan that happens almost automatic if I was to be off. One of my peers struggles with planning. I walked in from vacation a few weeks ago at the start of a repave project. I had to have compactors, reefer trailers, etc moved by lunch to get the project back on track. All this took some politeness and hard work that could have been avoided by planning. I have been working with this mgr on planning but sometimes I just have to step up and work a little harder.

I send out a wage and hour report to the mgmt team each week. One week, I shorted a dept some hours. Since the ASM understands my budget, she just made it work. Before finalizing I noticed the error and cut one of my own depts to make hours still come under budget.

I enjoy a good challenge but I usually do a good job of managing my stress level. This is usually on my eval each year. My energy comes from my family. They keep me grounded. At work though, I usually play music, take a break or just talk it over with a peer.

The 1st year I was the Black Friday champion which requires a lot of prep work, planning and training. The entire team must work together to host a successful event. I asked the previous champion for help to get me started. Since then, I have been involved each year, making it more efficient using powerpoint and other tools. The store manager prefers having me over it.

I'm in charge of mgmt schedules. My manager expects a certain level of coverage which we were short on at first. I created a rotating schedule and a template on excel that auto calculates the number of managers in the building.

Married with 2 kids both which play sports. Any free time we have is usually spent traveling and trying different restaurants. I'm committed to work and have only missed 1 day in 18 years. I was flooded in. Associates in Industrial Electronics and I hold two certifications in Networking. I was a dept mgr by 20, ASM by 23 and Co-Mgr by 25. I've recently been turning down SM interviews because I know TVA is where I belong.

A high shrink review in another market. I had to report to senior level management on store manager execution of shrink tasks with him in the room. I was just honest and accurate. He wasn't happy but thanked me before I left.

I want a career that puts my skills to better use. On the other side, I would like a career with a company I would be proud to work for. I know TVA will fit both of those needs with the work I'd be doing and the good TVA does for the economy.

Well. Another Co-Mgr climbed into a garbage compactor with me nearby. This is a compliance violation. We had a conversation about his actions after I pulled him out. Later I had to report to my manager on the investigation. I supported my peer through the process and even with the open door process after his termination.

Well. Another Co-Mgr decided to climb into a garbage compactor to unjam it with me standing nearby. This is a compliance violation and we immediately had a discussion on the impact of his actions. I later had to discuss with my manager. I helped my peer with the process and the open-door process after his termination.

Even today as a Co-Mgr, I have people working for me that are subject matter experts in different areas. We're always improving our inventory mgmt processes and our current app is ever evolving. After teaching and training our people on the original version, I have a few that will keep me in the loop on updates. When they do, I pass it on to the rest of the team.

Career opportunities and possible paths?

I recently donated my time to assemble a grill that was donated to a sports team. I laid out the parts while looking for the instructions. Read thru instructions and found parts list. I verified parts and tools needed and followed instructions. I didn't have any problems but if I did I could have contacted manufacturer.

I hold an AAS in Industriial Electronics. I’m the safety team management sponsor. I conduct safety meetings 1-2 times per month. Our accidents are down to 16 per million transactions. At work, I am constantly checking Shrink GRID tasks and safety board tasks. These are all checklists with an attached SOP. These checklists and SOP’s keep us from having product loss, injuring or even killing someone.

Every eval I receive says I need to delegate more and slow down. I'm just a hands-on kind of guy. I proudly accept this feedback each year. I have actually worked on this a great deal but I can still improve.

As the manager on duty, I am in charge of mgmt schedules. The store mgr expects an area to always be covered which we sometimes came up short. I created a rotating schedule and excel template that auto tracks mgrs in the building at all times electronically.

I know I can succeed at this because I want this job more than you know and I will work extremely hard at it, and not just this position but future positions. My supervisor experience would be useful down the road. I’m organized and always plan things out. With everything I check at work, I work by SOP’s and Walmart One Best Way guides using checklists. In this day and age, no one can be an expert in everything but there is always a guide to help you along.

I know quite a few guys that worked or works for TVA, most of them as AUO. They are all proud of the company and what they accomplish. I know this position fits me and my abilities. I'm also an operator myself, just a different environment.
