bu trainer. Backup training specialist and backup ICQA. I’m planning to drop ICQA if I’m forced.

Are there any other DC’s cracking down on the number of backup roles a TM can have? Recently a couple of TMs were told they had to give up a backup spot because they had three. One of those TMs asked me if I had been asked since they knew i carried three roles. I haven’t as of yet, but was told...

Any DCs have this implemented yet? How’s the reaction to it? I know they talked about it, but can’t remember when it was supposed to start?

it’s sad. I mean if they don’t see the potential, tell me. Last I checked I was adult, OM’s who have had to reject me have told me I take the no’s well and they see me wanting to grow. That’s a huge issue. When it was rolled out I asked my OM about it, and got crickets like I was speaking...

Ultimate goal, is OM. I want this to be a stepping stone. Ironically enough, I’m working through a program through Guild that if successful I’ll be looking for jobs in that field. As far as applying for everything, I do that, but feedback I get is subpar at best. Like there isn’t substance to...

So, I put in for a training specialist backup at my DC. I am quite confident, but I have some questions regarding the interview process. I shouldn’t because I’ve done it so many times but my experience with this key has me questioning the whole process. I’ve asked for prep and one of the...

ITM is supposed to be a simplified version of ART (automatic spacing. DPCIs sorted) The trucks that can be used are very limited (no non-con can be run on it) If there is noncon it has to be small and light. We put our flow in cage carts. That sums up ITM in general.

All I know is I went on vacation (did backup that last niight) and when I came back I was told I had to reinterview. I heard two stories as to why, but neither of them made any sense.

Truthfully, I missed the OT. I went up to ICQA to get away from an OM who had no business being an OM.

So, last year I went from Merit (ICQA) back to the floor. They have been using me since then as a backup. There has been no issues with them using me even with the new backup pay. They recently hired two new backups since from the time I left until then I was the only backup. I learned after I...

So I wish our DC was still using the two pieces of equipment in an aisle rule. Much safer.

Hopefully, there is accountability, I had to retrain a TM on the RC one night because they missed a couple of processes on the first attempt. When I started going over a few things from the playbook they looked like I was speaking a foreign language. I asked them how much of the playbook was...

If the trainers are training they won't be counted towards prod. If they weren't training they would be in a normal prod function. That's what we were told. I've already told my OM I won't be going out for the role. I just think it's quite hilarious that they couldn't give the trainers they have...

Any word on start date of that training thing and are backup leads going merit?

Exactly what I'll be doing.....I do not want to just train as much as I enjoy it I can't do it daily
