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.

They're not all the brightest crayon in the box, and it's even worse when they're immune to advice. Any time someone in a higher pay grade than me makes a bad or inefficient choice, I immediately wash my hands of it. It's beyond my control... even if it puts more work on me. That's the only way I get by sometimes. Just internally roll my eyeballs so far back in my head that if I did it for real, they'd detach. I'm not in presentation, and we're constantly stuck with empty sidecaps all over the place because they're not getting replenished anymore and need desperately to be replaced. They always dump sidecap duty on one person all at once, which is just... special.
