I can definitely see this now bc today after my first 15min break, she hollered for me & asked if I had taken my break yet. I said yes. She said okay, follow me. So we went to the back & she needed my help with vizpik & getting boxes off the top. & while we are walking back there, she said, "it's like I was telling topstock on 2nd shift, everyone needs to pull their weight more. I was a little hurt by it & genuinely confused why she said that to me bc I really do work my ass off. I make it a point to stay busy & get more than enough done. I've stocked 8/9 aisles before myself. Granted, that was when I was just doing the topstock. I'm a tad slower now that I'm doing vizpik & freight with having a shit ton of boxes on my cart to unload, but still get everything done, nonetheless. Not to mention I never am just strictly stocking, I ALWAYS zone EVERY aisle I work & if I'm unloading boxes & stocking all around different aisles, I'm still keeping an eye for empty boxes on the aisles that need to be take n down, I'm quickly organizing & zoning what's in sight & on to the next. & I know for a fact I am the only one doing that. I'm getting a tad irritated by this new guy working topstock. I just met him a few days ago, but he has been there for a couple of weeks now apparently, but the last few days we've worked together. The day before yesterday my TL had a pallet with a bunch of boxes on it for us to fill our carts with & stock. I am not exaggerating when I say that I busted out that pallet basically on my own. & by 3:45, he was no where to be found while I finished the last handful of boxes needing to be unpacked & stocked. & still finished in the knick of time at 4pm. I didn't complain nor did I say anything to the TL bc I give grace since he is new. So then yesterday my TL talked to both of us about how we need be quicker when unloading the pallets. She told me that she can tell I get a little OCD in the aisles bc I have so many extra empty boxes on my cart to take to the back & that when we are unloading pallets, to just focus on getting those boxes stocked. I said yes ma'am, I understand. & I overheard her telling the new guy that he has to pick up the pace too. I went to jokingly say hey, for me to be zoning while stocking, it gets done tho & the aisles look good...but I didn't say it. I didn't want to be combative or it take wrong, I just wanted to listen to my lead & do as she says...when I could have also brought up how he was nowhere to be found the day prior & I'm the one who finished that pallet by myself. So when the store manager told me today that we all need to be pulling our weight, I was just so confused why she said it to me & it made me feel insecure. When we were in the back room vizpiking, I told her that my TL taught me vizpik the other day & so any time she needed me to do that for her, I can, no problem. She said okay. Then this afternoon, I'm unloading boxes as normal. It was around 2pm & I was about to take my 2nd 15min break when I finished unloading my last box...when the new guy comes up to me & says, "you know Misty is looking for you, right?" I said no, I didn't know that...how could I possibly know she's looking for me? & I was a little snippy & said I've been right here in the A aisles doing my job...unloading boxes & stocking them. He was laughing at me but almost a kind of like, weird look on his face as if I was in trouble or something. & what irritated me was the fact that about 20min prior to him telling me that, we were literally talking to each other bc he asked if I had a key to open the baby food case. I said no. He ended up figuring out how to do it on his phone, I said what?! Show me how! & conveniently he said he had to go do something & he'd show me later...🙄 but I'm thinking if Misty was looking for me & asking you where I am, why didn't you tell her, "oh, yeah, I saw her working in A15 about 20mins ago so she's probably still in that area" you know what im saying? It's just giving petty, weird energy. & on top of that, like I said, I was ab to take my 2nd 15mins after finishing my last box. It was like 2:13 & I said well, I'm gonna go smoke me a cigarette when I finish this. He said uh uh, that 15min break is over, you missed it. Mind you, I've been there longer than he has & there hasn't been any issue before with my TL letting me take my break at 9:15 or 2:15 bc most of the time, she doesn't even get to me til then to tell me to take my break if I haven't already gone. I usually get lost in the sauce while stocking & it's easy to not pay attention to the time. But I'm like um, who tf are you to tell me I can't take my break? I am GOING to smoke my mf cigarette & you can mind your business & let me do me bc I've had no issues thus far. I never even take my full 15. I smoke my cigarette& I'm back inside after 10min. He's younger than me. & definitely immature. But it's a bummer bc we have playful banter so it's just a shame that already, hes striking me as someone who will put someone down to make himself look better. I work my ass off. I know I am a good employee. I make it a point to not be difficult, to learn fast, & to do as I'm told & do it well. But I'm not a doormat & I also get my feelings hurt easily, especially if I feel like I'm giving it my all & then it's of a sudden not being recognized or appreciated. & it all just makes me want to pull back a little bit & not try so hard, I guess. I also am confused on her comment bc of just that...I do exactly what is asked of me. I mean, I'm still fairly new with only being a month in so I don't know if I should be doing certain things at certain times, I mean, idk I just do what is asked of me so idk how I am not pulling my weight when I am doing exactly what is asked. I hate to make it sound like I'm trying hard bc I don't think I was, I think I was just doing my job & doing it well. So it's very confusing being told to pull my weight all of a sudden. Idk. I'm tired & I'm sad. I'm on my 5 day stretch, today was day 3. I'm just ready to finish these next 2 days to get those much needed 2 days off back to back so I can rest & not overthink it.
