Anyone else experience this?

Where you work at some minimum wage job and you got 3-7 team leads working at the same time and 2 or more team leads each order you to do different things at the same time, so when you attempt to do them, they get angry and upset with you because the task you’re doing is one that another Team Lead assigned.

Or one of them will tell you to clock out and then some other one gets angry because you clocked out before they could squeeze 5 more tasks out of you.

Walmart does this, McDonald’s does this, Harkins Theatres does this, Kroger stores do this. It seems this happens in quite a lot of places.

And then sometimes the Team Leads start arguing with each other over whether we should take the trash out first or do some other simple task. Some of em’ get dramatic about it like we’re dealing with a nuclear reactor but it’s really just French Fries or a trash bag.

Their little power gain just goes to their head because they can now order you to put salt in a dispenser or some other insignificant task.

From experience yes it happened to me. From exp I can say, defintely where Indians are "Team Leaders" lol they might not even be TL's!! But they act like it, due to arrogance they think they know better and will start bossing the newcomers around. In interviews they don't explain who is what and any problems, who YOU will be reporting / listening to. The Indian main boss or manager will dump the explanation as well as training on anyone for newcomers.

White run Management, they will tell u at interview OR first hour in your role: expectations, any problems who to report to and who to listen to. Now You know who's TL, Manager and the boss to the trained staff.
