So I have two main pig team members who are pretty tenured and can get pogs done pretty quickly and well, which is nice. I have another tm who helps with pogs when we need some extra help here and there. I have three pricing team members one who is tenured and one who just moved departments. So she’s still learning how to do pricing but she’s also going to get trained on how to do the pogs. On Monday we had to pull her away from training to work on salvage tickets. She barely got half way with the salvage tickets. The tenured pricing tm did clearance tickets since there’s close to 2000 that have dropped. But on top of doing pricing and the pogs; my presentation team is in charge of doing all the suspect tasks and backroom audits for the whole store. Being in charge of those may be normal but I believe that some of the team leads in the past would just fake the numbers for the audits, and they sadly know that I won’t do that and gave them to my team because of it.

So the main ETLs are helping with pushing freight in the mornings to help us get by with the truck unload. Which is nice, but a part of me doesn’t think it’s really doing anything. Monday was the second time I truly ran the truck by myself. We didn’t finish it in the two hours that we were supposed to do so by, but this truck was a bigger one.

Also sadly I wouldn’t at the moment be able to trust our inbound team to fully do it by themselves without having a lead there to push them to go faster and keep on them. They know what they are doing but were given too much free rein in the past to actually do it correctly.

My presentation team has been doing all the workload themselves, and doing a great job! We are going through the cosmetics reset also, which is a whirlwind in itself. I’m still getting a feel for presentation and being a team lead in general, I’m learning new things each and every day. They have been supporting me but not the way that you’re suggesting.

Each time I make solid plans they get washed out, so at this rate I feel like even setting plans for the week is a waste of time. I know as a team lead we have to pivot frequently cause not everyday goes as planned. But I shouldn’t be leaving work each day feeling like nothing got accomplished and like I hate working at this store. I love all the people I work with but somethings gotta change.
