Don't tell me how to do my job. in 2018

So I got back from work just a little bit ago. And essentially as soon as I learned who the closing LOD was I was immediately annoyed. Dumb softlines team lead that doesn’t know or do shit. Can’t even remember peoples’ names who have worked with her for years. Stands around and talks all day, while also trying to tell people what to do and shit. That is something that I have no patience for and you immediately lose any and all respect. Don’t tell me how to do my job. I have been doing it for several years now. I am the saving grace of the department. If I left....the majority of the team in that department would be right behind me. And the department would be fucked, because I trained my new team lead. I trained the ETL on the shit for the department. I am the one they turn to the second there is an issue. And the team doesn’t know it because the store doesn’t allow me to train them. Last time I tried they told me not to show the person how to do that because they expect them to mess it up. How the fuck is that the solution? You acknowledge you have given me people you don’t trust to do the job, but won’t allow me to fix that. Then wanna bitch when things are done wrong, and not done at all? Fuck out of here. At any rate. I got into work later than usual because I was the closer. No equipment in the cabinet. So I go and get started working. Because the way they scheduled the team…there was nobody to perform the tasks at the appropriate time so immediately I had to get us caught up. Had shit to do and was going to check again when I went on my fifteen. I am not going to waste time running around hunting down a walkie. The dumb bitch LOD walks up and is like do you have a walkie. No…No i do not. “Why?” Because there were none. “You need to have one.” -_- then she proceeded to tell me to hunt down the LOD and they will get me a walkie. Okay, so your solution here is to take a walkie from another department so you can bitch at them about not having a walkie, instead of letting me focus on my work, and letting the TEAM that does have a walkie cover the one or 2 call buttons that might go off for market? And you want me to run around wasting my time to find a walkie....instead of just realizing oh hey, the equipment isn’t there so someone else has to cover that MINOR aspect of the job. When there is also a person in the adjacent aisles with a walkie? What is the issue? Let’s even go back a few days where she apparently sent me a person to help out the department and then when I utilized her where the help was needed....she bitched about how i utilized the help she sent. How the fuck does that work. You do not know my department better than me. Nobody in the store does. So you want to criticize how I utilize the people given to me to get the job done? When you can’t even spend fifteen minutes on a smarthuddle in the cooler or freezer without abandoning the task early and bitching the whole time? And you want me to listen to you? Not how it works. Then a few days after that she manages to try and tell me and my team to complete a task in 10 minutes in limited space because there was a call out. It was not possible in the first place, and then she makes it worse by throwing horrible math and horrible logic and completely ignores my input. She tries to get 6 people in a small amount of space to backstock the cooler. With all the carts in there there is not a lot of room. Adding that many people makes it take longer because you are working around each other and getting in each others way. Not to mention 3 of them have never backstocked in the cooler and are new and are not good at backstocking yet. I say that and she throws out some garbage logic and math. We had ten minutes. And she says “20 minutes. 20 minutes. 20 minutes 20 minutes 20 minutes 20 minutes. That’s an hour you can do that.” I just shook my head and told her that’s not how that works. Then just sort of ignored her until she went away. And did what I could. And it’s funny because my team will listen to me over just about anybody else in the building. So kindly fuck off you ignorant twat and let me do my job.

Other news.... I have had this song stuck in my head all day. And it is still fucking great.
