Fortunately for me, though, I have a couple key associates who have been in the department for years and really help keep the ship from sinking. They've saved my butt so many times when I got overwhelmed, and I give them all the respect and appreciation I can possibly give.
What a lot of leaders today don't understand that what you give is what you will get back. Before becoming TL I worked in electronics along side my team, and even as the TL you'll still find me on the floor working pallets with my guys when I'm not needed elsewhere.
Even though I don't plan on being with the company forever, you still need to make the best out of the current situation. I'll be graduating college within the next few months and have already been job hunting and went on a few interviews. Even though things seem sh--ty and I plan to get out of here soon, I still go to work every day and aim to say "I gave it my all" at the end of my shift because at the day in the current moment this is what's putting food on my table and paying my bills.
