Here is the rundown of what's going on..
I am (18M), I have just moved in with my sibling(24M) and girlfriend with my NOW team lead (21M) from work. Given that my sibling and I both work under the team lead, we don't want to deal with this shit anymore.
This post is regarding antiwork. Primarily involving our team lead. 9 months ago, my sibling and I was friends with my co-worker, in which case, is a really casual and nice guy. 7 months later, he took the team lead position and said, “don't worry, everything is going to be the same.” Well, no. No it has NOT been the same. He took this position and in his words, “for the money. I need the money.” Clearly his actions show that he only needs the money with how much alcohol he buys (this is another problem that'll be discussed later) AND with how nothing in the manager's eyes are getting done.
For 1, I don't care what he does with his money. But to take a position above us, only to work significantly less than us is really irritating to see him at work and at home. 2) I know this is just a job and not to take it seriously since I'll work there for about 4 years, but when the workload builds up on us in a short period of time, yeah fuck no, that's not happening. He's an eyesore more so over at work. When the managers come to my sibling and I, employees, who get our shit done right and with efficiency, complain about why our department has been going horrible. We both say, “ask the team lead, he doesn't have a plan for any of the days we work, he walks around making an excuse, doing the bare minimum while we're doing more than him, and we have to pick up what's not being done after him.” This mindset, has been going on for more than 2 months. The mindset of, I don't want to talk to him or deal with his shit. 1 month ago, we got on a lease with him for 6 months. This was planned out before he was a team lead. Because the question never got asked, “would any of us become a team lead?”
Well, he became our team lead 1 month before we moved in with him. We gave him a chance as our team lead for 2 months, and now we're approaching the 3rd month, and nothing has gotten better at work. A lot of his job, is to micromanage his department to meet the manager's expectations on how the store should be in presentability, what are the monthly audits and the deadlines, sales of items that are and aren't on the floor, in which case find the new items that aren't being sold, etc. He doesn't do any of that and leaves us, the team behind with no plan for what he needs to get done and with his job. We don't do his job and we tell the managers this all the time. The managers say they are talking to him and it's getting addressed, but nothing is happening. We're still in the same loop of picking up after this shit face. We've spoken to him in the 1st month, now we don't even want to deal with him.
The next issue is his alcohol problem. Him being “too sick” to come into work, but plays games at high volumes at different quarters of the night just really fucks with us the most. I told him that he needs to “shut the fuck up, we're trying sleep for our jobs.” I guess that hurt his feelings too much because he didn't show up for 2 days in a row (after a 1 week vacation). In our department, there are only 4 of us (including him) to get our department ready (we go in at 4, store opens at 9). This is taxing physically and mentally. I also know it's alcohol because there is a trash bin by our house full of can alcohol. For fuck sake, I wish I could tell him to step down, or to get his ass moving, but I'm done talking to him.
It's 1 thing to be a team lead, but it's another thing to be a roommate. I'm not friends with him anymore primarily because he is our team lead, and we share rent, utilities, etc. Nothing more. We have responsibilities as human beings. There was a time I was casual with him, but it's a dreadful experience day and night now. He only texts us when we're in the house, not even talk. But I'm better with neither because I don't want to deal with his shit. He still pays rent so I'm not too concerned about that. But I very much so hate him. Rant concluded until I edit something.
