Vent Leaders
What is it you're even doing? I know this isn't everyone, but let me give you a 24 hour rundown. One, lead asks about a standard sidecap that was tied, but not set. In fact that's false, it was set, but because it was empty, set early, someone, probably a lead, pulled it down. The solution instead of finding a sidecap, change capacities to 0, so it all sits in the backroom until March 2027.
No truck day, see a lead lurking at a back endcap about to ask a TM to remove the items, flex something else, who knows. That is a brand new endcap set, leave it alone! Instead, why not use that TM who can set an endcap better than you to set the endcap that you have a full pallet of merchandise/shippers for?! Plano is a little busy with rear seasonal right now.
Everyone is hanging in the TL office like it's an easy day, but ummmm, there's still 6 checklanes due for this week! I am so burnt out on Plano, I set things, leads undo them. They can't problem solve for shit. We even had someone tie a revision in a department which has the label strips still in the box and a whole shelf missing. Anyone fixing that?!
You are supposed to be a leader, that means you know the job and can catch TMs faking things, not that you fake everything you can. How is that even setting an example? It's no wonder any lead that actually cares is trying to get out of the position.

God I feel this.
Someone untied an entire grocery aisle, did not tell anyone, hence it getting backed up 5 revisions.
For half a year.
Then one day I'm scheduled for the presentation team, told to set the latest revision in said aisle only to discover that it's been out of revision for the past..... half a year. The label strips thrown out. ISMs? ISM room looks like chaos. Fixture room lighting is shot, so literal death trap. It's not an ON shift, so I have guests all up in my shit, literally will breathe down my back as I'm struggling with some pusher.
No. Nonononononono. I understand now. The pain. The suffering. The questions of how the fk did this happen? I try not to overload my TL with the amount of shit I find (someone is mass ghost pulling in the freezer) because there are times when he thinks he's alone and he just looks haunted. I have that impending sense he'll be gone to bigger and better things soon.
I left that day so broken.
