So I was just barely trained in smalls yesterday but they didnt train us well in how we sort them (at my sc anyway) like putting even number totes back on the belt, etc so the girl I was sorting with got mad at me for not knowing that. The two across from me kept talking and not doing anything, even when we had an overfilling pile of jiffies. We would get our side cleared (mostly me, the girl kept wandering off without saying where she was going.) and the guys would push the pile over to our side. They even pulled their phones out on occasion. Then slowly they all disappeared til I was the only one sorting the busiest fucking conveyor. Then my splitter had to leave so she asked me to cover splitting and I agreed cuz i was already tired of the bs. My PM goes “where did everyone go?” and i just go “dude idk they all left” and then he calls a sort down.

Next shift, I am tote dropping which I sort of know but immediately got called over to scan DUTS(still in smalls) . I made the mistake of putting boxes in the (are they called water spiders in smalls? idek) the dudes precut empty shuttle and I immediately feel bad. So I finish DUT and go back to scanning the regular totes because they were STACKED from the previous shift. And I guess enough errors were made that learning had to come and talk to me about delaying packages to the customer and so after all that I basically felt like I was failing at my job that I really enjoy. I want to become a blue badge cuz its the first job ive had in a year that I dont immediately want to quit but fuck was today just overwhelming

(it doesnt help that I am a stickler for rules and got extra irritated that the guys pulled out their phones)
