"Reverse Logistics" The New Job

So I finally got this new job that allowed me to leave Suzy Shier after technically working there for two and a half years and not really enjoying any of those years, not to mention the un-necessary stress factors.

I landed this new job back in December, but they needed a valid photo ID in order to perform a background check. That process took me into January and then into the beginning of February when I learned that I would finally be starting. After having orientation yesterday I got to do some hands on work today. I learned how to do some bowling, then put merchandise away (all over the store!). Then I decided that since I had about an hours left of my shift and most of the stock was put out, that I could maybe seek out my leader to see what my job would entail.

He showed me where my area would be and it will be shared with two other people. So I am the person that gets to deal with all the damaged goods. Whether it is a dented can, defected product, product recalls, or other damaged goods. I will be the one sorting it out properly and sending it to the appropriate places. Like donations, things going back to the manufactures, properly disposing of damaged good like cleaners and such. This can be a mighty big job and they are already adding up quickly. So hopefully this area will be set up before long so we can get going before we feel overwhelmed.

My leader seemed quite excited to finally have someone, he didn't even know that I was on his team and he thought that he had to hire three people. As it turns out he has me for sure, but he also has another guy who's availability has changed. So I'm not sure what is going to happen there, but my leader did say since there are only going to be three of you here you will be working 30-40hrs. So this is great news and I am excited to start on this new and different job.
