Last time I took an online course I forgot about it

[npixelz]

Yeah they are


Rip

[Kitalpha Hart]

Sooooo i probably got my lead in trouble
By asking one (1) question

Whoops

[galled]

There are no stupid questions, but I guess there are some dangerous ones!

[Kitalpha Hart]

So basically lead has this protocol he's supposed to follow and he skipped that and went right to accusing us on second of making a mess in an area we aren't allowed into anymore theory is that he is, in part, at fault for that too via whiteboard
When we went from three shifts to two his stayed the same, so he's done and gone two hours before second comes in, so there's a whiteboard he uses to assign jobs. He put the accusation up there
This area there's only a few people in the overall department I'm in that have reason to go there, but shipping/receiving, they're in and out by my understanding so the mess was most likely them
I asked the supervisor about it and he was all "wtf he's not supposed to do that there's a protocol for that ignore it"

So yeah. Probably got him in trouble
And I'm of the opinion that he owes us an apology for that

[npixelz]

Oh dear, this doesn't seem good

[Kitalpha Hart]

If he had put up more along the lines of "hey someone left a mess in [area], if it was any of you, could you please pick it up?" it would've been fine. Okay someone made a mess. Sorry lead, that wasn't any of us. And if he had forgotten protocol, that would've just been a reminder from the supervisor of "hey did you forget to send the emails" or some such
This...
This was not that. This was aggressive

Yeah, supervisor said to ignore it, aka to not worry about it, but the Anxiety says not to
PITA side is cackling cuz if I can't be a pest to lead in person, I'll be one indirectly

[galled]

Happy to stay on your good side! lol

[Kitalpha Hart]

Lol

And today the note was so much politer
"Have a good night, please clean up after yourselves, whoever was at [job], please pick up your mess"
So he definitely was talked to about the prior note he left, considering the sudden appearance of manners

[galled]

Learning is good! You'll have 'em trained in no time.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Training isn't in my job description lol

[npixelz]

It's so much easier training a dog

[Kitalpha Hart]

I mean, I could have mom make sweets and bribe/train that way ahahahahaha

[galled]

Sweet bribes! Sounds good to me!

[Kitalpha Hart]

Too bad the whole shifts don't overlap thing makes training hard

We do need to break him of this one habit that took him about a week to fall into
As the lead of the area, he's supposed to make sure that we are stocked with the stuff we need. He's human so he doesn't always succeed, and back when we had three shifts sometimes we'd do more on second and third than he'd anticipate so we'd have to summon a material handler to get us more. And of course sometimes shit happens and he just can't get to it
The lines only need one material handler right now, so one has been in our area. She never has her stuff cuz he just has her fetch it unless someone on first is already on it, which drives her up the wall
And when she's not here, there's a good chance I'll end up running the jobs she gets assigned. Which means waiting on the one material handler, who the company is literally waiting on retirement for, so can't work for at least an hour. He's so bad we've had to call the supervisor to light a fire under his ass

Thing is, how do we break him of that habit? We might end up having to wait until the material handler we have is back in her proper position for it to bite him in the ass

And then today I was over in a spot that I'm trained in but haven't done cuz the supervisors are trying to keep vpop from going after any of us for not producing enough of the thing cuz the regular one called off and instead of plenty of everything, I started with basically nothing and had to get one of the office workers who oversees a crossover point between the area I'm in and where the stuff all goes to in order to get the stuff I was short on
He might end up talking to our lead about that, ask him why that area was not stocked like it usually is
