I've been at Target since July, and it started off great. But lately I've realized that I just don't think I'm cut out for it. As a flow team member, at least. Unloading the truck is a constant shit show, it's stressful to the max, and we don't even have enough pallets or pallet jacks to get the job done. Not to mention being ridiculously understaffed, making me and maybe one or two (if we're lucky) other workers having to do all of the work for the rest of the crew who aren't doing shit. It has taken a toll on me, and I hate it. I'd rather find a job that when I'm working the thought of me just up right and quitting and walking out the door is not in at the tip of my tongue throughout my entire shift. No one seems to care to get the job done, and then I'm stuck with pushing/pulling 5 pallets by myself while the rest of the crew is who the fuck knows where. And then I get asked to stay, which I don't. Because it's not my fault that Target is fucking up. I've tried using this to my advantage, getting everything on the shelves and cleaning up my area, only to come in the next day and being asked why there was still two pallets to be pushed and the area was a mess. Even though when I clocked out, I had done my job and the area was spotless and everything was pushed. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the fuckery that goes on.
So I'm going to start applying today at other places instead of just abandoning the job altogether. Here's the advice I need. My TL is a great guy, he understands my frustrations, he's been very accommodating and supportive when I've had a meltdown or two, I'm not the fastest worker anymore these days, but he still understands why and tries to help me out.
I was thinking of telling him that I probably wont be working for spot much longer, and was thinking of asking that if put his name down on the application as my supervisor/team leader/reference, if he would put in a good word for me.
But then I thought maybe that wouldn't be a good idea, because then it'd probably get to the higher ups that I'll be quitting soon and I'd probably just get fired. Should I give him a heads up? Or just put his name down, and when I leave then give him the heads up then and ask to put in a good word for me? Or is this a bad idea entirely.
