Well the 2 older women on inbound are constantly told to work faster....the rest of us just go about our business....totally not fair. They don't seem slow.
Anecdote time.
When I was a Plano TL part of my role was to run the backroom during 4th Quarter so the backroom TL could help with flow. We basically ran two Flow TLs, I managed backroom, and my POG team handled salesplanners/sale freight. I would run flow when needed but for the most part, the backroom and flow TL handled it fine. (This is relevant for later). Our ETL ran trash and took cold drinks around, helped stock heavy aisles, etc.
We had this super super old lady (like in her 80s) who only sorted repacks. She didn't work the line, she didn't really stock much freight. She came in, she broke out HBA, she broke out domestics, then she went and sorted Z-racks. But you know what, she used to stock. And she knew
exactly how to sort those repacks so they could get stocked quickly.
I left that role to do remodels, but I frequented the store, since it was the staging ground for a lot of our remodel stuff (shared satellite storage). Not too long after I left, the store got a new overnight ETL who thought only sorting repacks was a waste of payroll. He said "it's age discrimination because we're treating her differently because she's older." Yeah, we were. She was old as shit and clearly not built to be slinging freight or hoofing the line, so we found something that she could do and do well. He used the discrimination line to force her to stock freight. All three team leads who worked with her raised the concern that she was an important part of the process, and it wasn't discrimination, it was playing to her strengths. The response was "You are not flow team leads, your opinion isn't valid". She retired inside of a month. And guess what, time to stock repack heavy areas suddenly went from half the goal, to double. Wonder why?
Moral of the story is just because someone is being treated differently it isn't discrimination. Accomodation moonlights as discrimination if you don't have the whole picture. It was her difference, her age and perspective, knowing what to sort where, knowing how people actually stocked, that made the entire team more efficient.
Also Steve if you're somehow on this forum - fuck you, you were the shittiest excuse for a leader I ever worked with and I hope you remember my last words to you. I wasn't there in person but I watched your walk of shame the day you got shitcanned on video, I watched you get fired, just like I said I would.
