I work in a warehouse and have forklift certification. We’re short-staffed, so I often hop on the forklift to move heavy pallets. One guy, Rick, who hates doing manual labor, said I was “hogging” the forklift and told the supervisor I was “gatekeeping.”
Supervisor says, “Let others do it. You don’t need to do everything.”
Alright. I parked the forklift, logged off the system, and left it with the keys in the designated lockbox.
Rick’s moment had arrived… except, surprise, he never actually got certified. He just assumed someone would look the other way. When he tried driving it anyway, he knocked over a pallet of cleaning supplies. OSHA got involved, and he got suspended.
Supervisor apologized to me and reinstated me as the only person allowed on the forklift until they trained someone else.
You wanted a turn, Rick. Hope the paperwork was worth it.
