Despite increased duties and longer hours without additional pay, my supervisor expected me to manage omni and bopus tasks within 5 minutes on a full workday. Is this expectation unreasonable?
hey flyingeagle, i think its kinda unrealistic to be expected to wrap up bopus in 5 min. talk to ur boss and raise ur concerns about workload and fairness. sometimes its better to ask for reasonable time instead of burning out, ya know?
The five-minute timeline appears to be an unreasonably tight constraint given the realities of managing both tasks. In my previous position, I encountered similar expectations and found that they often led to rushed work and increased error rates. Documenting the duration of each task helped in providing concrete feedback to management. It may be worthwhile to request a review of the workload expectations by presenting data on the actual time required to complete these tasks, which could lead to a more realistic, performance-driven approach.
Hey FlyingEagle, I totally get where you’re coming from. It’s wild to think that they expect you to sprint through those tasks in 5 minutes, especially when you’re juggling omni as well. I’ve seen situations where management doesn’t fully see the complexities behind each task, and it got me wondering: did you ever bring this up with your supervisor in detail? Sometimes sharing concrete examples or even some timing data can help in getting them to understand that quality work takes a bit longer. In my experience, opening up that line of communication has sometimes resulted in adjustments or at least acknowledgment of how challenging it is. How did you feel about the conversation if you’ve had one already? I’m curious if anyone else in your team feels the same or if there’s a proposed workaround being used. Looking forward to hearing more about your take on this!
