The Warehouse Underground TIGER TEAM!

🐯 Your "anonymous" survey isn't anonymous. We have receipts.

The Tiger Team Show Ep. 12 is LIVE, and we brought a guest host: Chris Sano, the Best Buy DC ops leader who went 3-for-3 COOL on Cringe or Cool.

Ben, Jordan & Chris take on the stuff every warehouse leader has lived through:

🕵️ The "anonymous" comment that turns your boss into a detective
📋 "Voluntary" surveys… that you're only at 43% on
🎤 The town hall where an order picker "asks" execs about free cash flow
🧠 How to hack a personality test (you didn't hear it from us)

Plus a fresh round of CRINGE or COOL:
🦺 DC managers dressed as actual safety cones
🚦 Real stoplights over the daily metrics board
🎡 The Price Is Right, live on the DC floor
🛴 A Segway… pallet jack?!
📦 "Incorrect way up." On a cardboard box.

Wit. Humor. Sarcasm. It's the break room after HR goes home.

What's your best "anonymous survey" story? Drop it below 👇 It might end up on Ep. 13 (October. Spooky season. 🎃)

We're back!  Jordan takes the reigns and lead hosts this one and let me tell you, the saltiness is strong with this one!

Coming off an insanely busy Prime Day season on the floor she has developed some, let's call them, "Do NOTS" during high volume operations.

- Do not talk about the next huge sales event while she's pulling herself off the floor and dripping with sweat from THIS one!

- PSA to the senior leaders, do not task her with "manager" duties if she's having to pitch in and work on the pack lines because YOU staffed razor thin and now you're under staffed during call outs!

- Do not blame her if you haven't been able to take a break all day (you're an adult, act like it!)

And yet another great "Cringe Or Cool?" segment where I put the latest and greatest in front of Jordan from the world of "social media warehousing and distribution (the flagship of the show according to tens of tens of listeners.)

Sorry for the delay! (We've been busy writing SOPs for how to create 30-60-90 on boarding gameplans but with a Lean Philosophy layered in to remove unnecessary barriers of redundancy.)

ANYWAY......this is a great episode!

🐯 Ben & Jordan celebrate Cinco De Mayo with recaps of "Taco Tuesdays" at warehouses (and the bathroom blow ups that follow.)

🐯 Jordan loves it when employees hijack her shift by having her explain EVERY metric for 30 minutes.

🐯 The Tiger Team embraces AI by learning how to have it roast The Tiger Team Show itself (so hurtful, sarcastic and brutal Gemeni....we LOVED it.)

🤣 Preview: "The Tiger Team is the Live, Laugh, Love of Distribution.....if Live, Laugh, Love was replaced with Scan, Ship, Sob." 

🤣 Preview: "The show would be perfect for people who feel 5S stands for Sit, Sigh, Sob, Sulk & Sip."

🐯 Cringe or Cool won't die. Jordan gets put on the hot seat to make hard calls, and there were some doozies in this one.

Kevin Lawton from The New Warehouse Podcast joins Jordan and I for an EPIC episode!

🐯 Operational decisions in the South when it's snowing, has snowed, or even has a 1% chance of snow in forecast.

🐯 Kevin reveals the inspiration behind the humorous "Where's my tape gun" post!

🐯 Jordan in full send mode with an EPIC ROAST of our two podcasts!

🐯 Kevin and Jordan in the hot seat and decide "cringe" or "cool" on warehousing photos.

🐯 Two surprises for Kevin and Jordan to end the show.

If you're going to quit during the middle of a shift, at least leave me your notes for the END-OF-SHIFT REPORT.
