[QUOTE="Blackstream, post: 3630020, member: 49052"] You know it takes quite a bit of effort to go out of your way to train someone and help them out when they need help. Imagine having a constant influx of new people coming in. You spend time mentoring someone and becoming friends only to have them leave the sort aisle anyways soon after. Not only that, but most of the people there are most likely still figuring it out themselves and don't really know how much they can help, because they're not even completely sure if they're doing it right. It took me a year or two of sorting before I really felt like I had everything down solid. Even longer before I felt like I was good enough I had something to offer. That's longer than most people granted, but everyone learns at their own rate. Then to top it off, morale drops because the good sorters keep leaving, and all you've got left are new people and people that don't give a :censored:, and eventually you get to the point where you just want to work the job and get out of there. And half the new people that come into the aisle are gone in a few days back to their area because no matter how much training or help they get, they just decide that environment isn't for them. I dunno how :censored:ty your aisle is or how hard you tried to make friends and ask questions, all I'm saying is, try to see it from their point of view. Most people are receptive if you're friendly towards them and will warm up real fast and will answer whatever questions you have as well as they can. It makes sense too because if someone is asking you questions and warming up to you, they actually want to learn and are probably planning on sticking around. As far as the blind eye thing goes, I can't tell you how many times I've caught someone looking at me and I think they're asking a question and then there's that awkward moment when I ask and they're like 'oh no I was just looking down the belt' or whatever. Eventually you figure they'll make a motion to get your attention or say something if they actually have a question and you avoid eye contact otherwise. [/QUOTE]
