Here's the funny thing with that. I only left the one day. Half an hour past my scheduled time. So it wasn't on time. There's another TM who leaves on time every day due to the fact he has to take care of a sick family member and be there for them to cook and give them medicine. While I...

I have social anxiety. There are times I question my own efficiency on the floor when the TL approaches me with this sort of thing I'm bound to have some self doubt. At the same time my co-workers don't understand why there would be a problem in the first place with me. I'm one of the more...

Is there any idea on how the time is suppose to be calculated via boxes per hour? What they calculate for repacks, zoning time, and reshop, etc? Our TL tend to make us squeeze all the little details but I assume that's normal.

The backroom stays pretty well-kept. No real overstock as far as I can tell.

That's fair. Usually I'm on point with that though. It was the one occasion my communication was off that they counseled me for.

I have been counseled before and for good reason. This time however was odd. I was not required to sign anything and there's nothing about two out of the three things I was counseled for today that comes up in the employee handbook to any degree and quite frankly anywhere else in policies that...

HR and my TL are well aware that I carpool and this is the first time it has ever been a problem. As far as HR is concerned they're surprised we stay past our scheduled time. According to them we're suppose to leave at the end of our scheduled shift. But everyone else (aka my TL, the manager...

We roughly have 19 people on our hardlines flow team, myself included. We don't necessarily count softlines flow team because they come in MUCH later than us. About 4:00 am 12 of the team members clock in. 9 team members actually work the line out of that. They're roughly done between 30 minutes...

Exactly, and I sometimes wonder how they calculate all of these factors into your time per work center. Like I said earlier on in the thread every team is going to be different. Every team has their strengths and weaknesses and that also seems to be something the TL should acknowledge, pay...

And you know, that's been a little rough lately. We've been given a lot of "pulls" lately based on pog team not having the time to do their work themselves. At least that's what we're being told so we're getting twice the workload some days. Just last week HBA received the usual 4 pallets of...

We have heard of the dreaded End to End. From what we hear two local stores are trying it and it's not working for them. And they're the more inefficient ones. They've essentially told us they're not going to introduce it to us until they can make the system work for the other two stores. So we...

And see, our store is the best in our district. We are in constant movement. We work quickly. And on an average day with say... 1,800 piece truck at our best can take us 5 - 5 1/2 hours. We are all scheduled for 4 and usually finish before we need to take a lunch. The bane of HBA is repacks and...

I was telling her in that moment I was heading out. I always am mindful of at least letting the LOD know and that's all they really ask is that someone is made aware. And yes, we've taken up a new way to break out but they never really gave us a name for the system we're using. But we're...

See, the point I think she was trying to make was that since I ride with a co-worker that means the truck is losing two team members at a time. While I understand I still don't think they can necessarily hold me. Besides, I always stay over my quitting time unless the truck is small and they...

Just a quick question regarding the flow team and scheduling. Mainly scheduling. I was told I was obligated to stay and finish truck. Granted this wasn't the first time I was told this and I never made a big stink about it. I had already stayed half an hour past my shift when my lead told me I...
