TTOTL you are the laziest piece of crap I've ever met. You constantly disappear, leaving your work on the floor expecting us to do it, and then you bitch because the work is taking too long. You don't help pull batches, you don't backstock, you definitely don't step foot in the freezer for any reason, and you're pretty much just useless.
 
TTOTM: you have been here for years. You are the last person in the door for every shift that you *decide* to show up for. You are the first person to break and the last person out. You refuse to use any equipment what-so-ever. No matter the workload, you find a way to stretch it to fill your hours. It will be a cold day in hell that you ever do your area by yourself (like everyone else has to do). Checking second locations? Spider-wrapping merch? Fixing zoning issues before you push out entire cases? Having to pull pallets/take back your own backstock/clean up your area/get your own vehicles? Nah. Backstock tubs that look like a bomb went off? Damaged/defective goods being (literally) left on the floor after store open? Standing around the time clock waiting to clock out so you can get an extra five minutes of pay? Sure thing! You are literally being hand-fed your job. You complain about everything. More than half of the team has had problems interacting with you.

HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU STILL HAVE A JOB??

Hopefully you have a good leader who is fully aware of the situation. He/she should be having "a seek to understand conversation" and explaining to tm his core roles. Tm should be told he will be held accountable if there is no improvements. Corrective actions will come next. Once a tm is over 90 days it is a process to have them removed. It takes awhile and your tl must be diligent with documentation. Hang in there. I have a slug on my team and my tl is screwing with his hours hoping he will quit. I heard the tm say if he doesn't get more hrs soon he will have to look for another job. One can only hope!!

I can only hope but it just seems to get worse and worse as time goes on. We just "celebrated" their fourth year on our team. They were slow/uneffective from the beginning but our old Log-TL never coached anyone unless the Log-ETL forced him because he (in his own words) "hated making waves". Our year ripe TL cares, but is still learning. It is so hard to come into work and keep a positive outlook about the culture of the store when you have someone like that around. The fact that we have to cut a bunch of hours by the end of the month doesn't help matters. The TMs that get their stuff done early every day are getting less hours than those that can't finish because they know they can push us harder. I keep a smile on my sweat drenched face but I am dying inside.
 
TTOSFTL: I don't understand how a human being in their forties, especially with as much experience and responsibilities as you, still manages to act like a child the moment things don't go your way. Team members are actively avoiding you solely because you like to take it out on them, and then you're boohooing that "everyone in the store hates you". Knock it off.

This sounds like one of my TLs. In fact, its scary how much it sounds like one of my TLs.
 
TTOTM: Does it really benefit you to loudly shit talk everyone you have an issue with on the sales floor? TBH the people you are trashing are doing an amazing job.
 
TTO Sales Floor TM: How the FUCK does it take you two fucking hours to do a small tub of dry grocery? Because of your lazy ass fucking around for two hours I had to zone A block, which took 2 hours, all alone. And then I finished up and was told to zone WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO. I was fucking furious when the LOD said that I had to help you zone what you were assigned for the night. You were always a lazy TM but this is something beyond your average shit, you take an extra 5-10 minutes on your paid 15's, you actively loaf around with other TM's, and you don't zone worth shit. The next time I have to clean up after you I'm gonna explain to the LOD why I don't think I should, If I get put on CCA for refusing to do work then so be it. I'm done cleaning up after people, really considering transferring stores to a nearby location.
 
Ttoetl: thanks for extending the option to come in super early today. Even with backroom looking for the wav RIGHT AFTER TRUCK WAS DONE, I still got everything I wanted to get done today. Maybe next time you can communicate to the backroom tm that I'll be done with the wav when I'm done?
 
TTOTM: you've been here since well before our transition to CVS. Even before then, we couldn't pick up calls on "XX."

Along the same note: corporate, PLEASE remove the option to transfer calls to pharmacy from the store lines. People don't understand that they can transfer TO pharmacy, but we can't transfer them back! OR, work with CVS to give us back that functionality!!!
 
TTODC: Please stop sending us assortment pallets of Tide. Seriously, we don't want them. They look like shit when displayed on the floor, and half the pallet can be worked out to the home locations.

LMAO!

These are kinda the last people you'd want to see in porn, all wrinkled and smoke stained teeth (unless you're into that kind of thing) :p

People have fetishes, so I wouldn't be surprised if some niche porn site out there had some shit like that.

I swear to god the next time a chem batch takes me to that fucking pallet, I'm going to break it down and backstock all of it individually.

Try finding a spot in a lower numbered aisle/stockroom so it pulls 'cases' from there first. We usually dropped it in the floor and when it got to half we pushed it all to fill the floor and back stocked the rest as case stock. You can always sweep regular Tide case stock, do what you can to rid the pallet cases first.

That's basically what we do, except nobody actually wants it dropped on the floor and it takes a while before someone will let us do it. Can't sweep any of it back usually because it sells enough to have low on-hands.
 
To that one Electronics TM: Stop calling out please. We get that you have another job, but maybe you should let the Electronics TL, ETL, or anyone know of your availability. I just got a call today for a shift, I assume was yours, but I couldn't do it. Now, there's no TM at Electronics and only mobile, may Jesus bless them for today.

To that one TM: Thanks for pushing out market for the last two weeks, especially with so many call outs from overnight and many others leaving the position. That Flatbed of candy was not pretty, but you knocked it out pretty damn well.

And ... to the Guest/Cart Attendant: Thanks for cleaning up the pile of dog poo left by a guest and her dog at the self-checkout (it was an in-training dog), even after they left without batting an eye. It smelled ... really bad ... and it spread ... really far. Thanks for putting up with the shit (literally).
