I have a question about being asked to do jobs or work centers that aren't yours or you are uncomfortable doing or just plain don't want to do. For example a co-worker of mine is hardlines but crosstrained for guest services. Whenever she agrees to work a guest service shift there is one LOD in particular that will pull her and make her work hardlines instead. She gets very upset but this particular LOD is the STL. Is that allowed? Are you allowed to refuse?
Another problem is that the shift she is covering is a closing shift and it usually leaves the front end shorthanded so that he can have his way. I know personally how frustrated I get if I come to work expecting to do one thing and being told that I have to do something else.
Another example is if the cart attendant calls out. Sometimes the LOD will demand that I tell a cashier that they have to then push carts. I always ask because that's not their job. It's not what they signed up for nor is it what they are being paid to do. But I feel there is always that expectation that they have to do it because that's what the LOD at the time wants.
