    Archived How Does Leadership deal with “Their Own” in regards to attendance

    Our srtl log loves to brag about how he never calls out. He will talk about how when he has a bad cold, flue etc he is at work. Which is true...but what he leaves out he calls the etl log and switches his days off around. So,while hes not "calling out" he is having his schedule changed. To me...

    Archived Battling cliques

    IMO...those that rely on anything other than good old fashioned hard work and common sense to get ahead...eventually will fail. May not happen today, tomorrow or next month but it will eventually happen. Through the years I have seen so many people promoted or given "perks" like more hours...

    Archived Your STL

    My stl is one of the better ones I have seen in my time with Spot. Now, that's not saying too much because I have seen some real losers for stls. Most days our stl is pretty good/decent. She knows what shes doing. I am just not sure of some of her methods of getting it done.

    Archived Scheduling conundrum

    You can always talk to your etl, etl hor or srtl hr. Just explain to them what is going on. Your leadership may be willing and able to help you come up with a solution that works for you and them. I will also add its nice that you are willing to step in and take care of your grandfather. Not...

    Archived Skipping a tier or 2 when promoting from TM to a management role?

    I have mentioned this before. We had a tm at my store to get promoted to etl. From my understanding he went in for a seasonal job interview they were impressed and told Him he would be better suited for a srtl or etl position. He worked as a tm through the Christmas season. Did his interviews in...

    Archived How to handle an offensive ETL?

    The etl should not had said that. We ( including etls ) are all humans and make mistakes. However, if the etl said that ....it had to be something she says or thinks on a reg basis. You just wouldn't throw that word out there if you haven't used it and or thought it before. The etl needs to be...

    Archived Sr TL flow LOD on truck days

    If our sr flow tl is working an lod shift...usually they will have him come in around 7 am. The etl log will come in at 530 for the truck unload.
