Freight doesn't stop for a skeleton crew
Came in last night and saw the freight stacked to the ceiling. One look and we knew it was going to be one of those shifts. Then we find out we’re down two people—again. Every department got hit, and everyone was just expected to pick up the slack. Management dropped their usual, “Just do what you can,” and disappeared into the office. But freight doesn’t stop coming just because we’re understaffed. We broke our backs clearing it out, skipping breaks, sweating through uniforms, and still got side-eyed because a few pallets didn’t make it to the floor. It’s always the same story. We do the impossible, and it’s never quite enough.
