I work as a Team Leader in a UK supermarket. Got in today to find the computer systems are down. So I have to reduce all of the stock that's going out of date today by hand, as well as fill out all the paperwork the computer/handset system usually does automatically.
I'm already running behind by 2 hours behind and to make things worse I've got 6 chillers threatening to alarm out, plus as of now my "team" consists solely of me cos everyone else is going home. Meanwhile I'm here for another 6 hours trying to get everything done. Oh happy days.
Share some of your bad days at work and help me feel better about it. Maybe.

As a team leader you should be delegating responsibilities to your team, making sure all work gets done, doing barely any of it.
