I think I got someone at work fired and I've been having mixed feelings about it
#on one hand i believe she meant well and told the manager so#but on the other she was slowing down everyone else by criticizing how they stacked the boxes#and enforcing a strategy that was inefficient and time-consuming#and when i tried to use a faster and more efficient strategy while her back was turned i watched her literally knock over a built pallet#while chastising the guy who built it bc he didn't stack it to her unreasonable standards#yeah ig the pallets she built were prettier but the time wasted caused the lane to be the most backed up I've ever seen#and then when she complained on the app later she characterized me as a new hire who they'd just fired her out of nowhere for upsetting#ig because when i tried to defend myself and the others for not stacking to her standards i mentioned how we were told to do it in training?#which isnt the most efficient either but it's much faster than what she was making us do#side note getting vagued on the company app was certainly an experience#but like. i didn't complain to a manager bc i was upset#my hope was that she'd learn that her behavior was negatively affecting both her coworkers and the customers#latter due to the delay in sending packages to the distribution centers and bc many packages were getting crushed on the conveyor#bc it was so completely overloaded bc nobody could build a pallet without getting chastised#but. well she said she had been working there for 5 months#so maybe this was the last straw after many such incidents#especially since like. I've criticized stacking quality before too#but I haven't gotten in trouble#of course i didn't do anything like that#it's like. lay these flat if you can so they don't fall over + put bigger boxes in the corners so you can fit more on the next layer#but i don't tear down and redo a pallet unless it's gonna Literally Fall On Someone#idk i think a balance should be struck between speed and prettiness#it's tetris not a beauty contest#but i don't think she got that lesson she just thinks she got fired fir upsetting a 'new hire'#hence why i still feel really mixed about this
