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...
@duglop When an employee is forced to do the work of 2-3 people and completes it, this proves that 1 person CAN do the job, which will cut costs and YOU will be EXPECTED to perform at that level.... permanently...by yourself. Happens in every industry/job.
@Kittiekatt53 I used to question myself if I was a true team player or not because I just wasn't sure. But I will sacrifice going to break late taking a late lunch even not getting my 2nd break to make sure certain things are taken care of and I don't like leaving things for the next shift to take care of and then I see this guy who just doesn't give a shit and he knows we're busy & shorthanded and decides he's not going to come in and there's not a damn thing we can do about it...
@Kittiekatt53 anyhow I understand where you're coming from and sorry you go through that or went through that but that's not quite the same thing that I'm talking about
