Take. care. of. your. associats!
I'm not a TL in any shape form or way om just an associate. I used to be opd and whenever there was a customer asking for a teamlead they gave it to me because ours was gone. The coach was absolutely amazing. But the teamlead often left opd to fend for themselves and definitely had favorites, as I've previously stated I'm just an Acossite but whenever a problem accoured morning, mid day and closing shifts would always come to me. The opd TL came back recently and decided to make everything so much more complicated to where closers where in tears. I'm no longer in opd but even now they still come running to me. New hires come to me instead of the TL. I walked past one night and saw one of the closers almost in tears so I asked what was wrong and they explained about how complicated the TL made writing to board. So after explaining the new process to me together we figured it out and got the board done. Turns out it was barley explained and just dropped on closers to now take them 45 minutes to do it how the TL wants. After figuring it out and explaining it out a little differently it takes less time for them. And yes they asked the TL questions. I've had opd associates come to me and beg for me to come back to opd. People have been injured on the job bad and the TL tells them there fine and to get back to work. Please just take care of your team. I love the opd crew and will always help where I can but to see people almost cry because I'm not back, there's an issue.
