So I had a little meeting with my boss after tonight and I asked him why I didn't get any extra help tonight when I was shorthanded and had half a plant to keep running by myself and was overwhelmed. His reply was "because you're one of the top performers on ²nd shift warehouse and I needed backup at other spots". So apparently I'm just expected to do what I do regardless of how stressful it gets... I mean I love the job but sometimes it's too much for 1 person, even me...
@feloneouscat there's 3 shifts at my plant which is the biggest of its kind in the world, I work 2nd shift... both first shift and third shift want me to come to their shifts because of what I can do, I bounce around to other departments quite often, I drive a stand up forklift and work in the coolers either staging/issuing product or putting product away in the racks in the coolers or pulling shipments. there's only maybe 1 or 2 people better than me, but we've been shorthanded this week...
