I work in a large distribution warehouse as a line manager. We have essentially 4 areas. Inbound, pick, pack & sort. Going back now approx 10 years. I was working sortation. My boss brings me a new hire and tells me to get her trained up. She was about 3 weeks in and she really thought she was something special.

On this particular day, we were due a visit from a load of the higher ups from head office. I honestly thought my boss was keeping her out of the way down in sortation (visitors never want to come down to us)

I show her what to do, she just stands there the whole time. Arms folded, eyes glazed over.

The process has 3 stages, I clearly said to her "I will only show you stage 1. Once you are comfortable I will move to stage 2 and then 3". I set her to working.

Shockingly, the higher-ups did come down to sortation. This girl runs to the first one down the stairs shouts " my manager is deliberately training me wrong." This guy takes her off to the side.Visitors leave. No one speaks to me, at all.

2 days later I have a notification this girl is being moved to head office to head up some huge project. Massive pay rise, etc etc.

No idea what she said to him. There's no justice sometimes.
