  • The Three-Rung Ladder: Turning "Just A Warehouse Job" Into A Clear Next Step

    The Three-Rung Ladder: Turning "Just A Warehouse Job" Into A Clear Next Step
    Jan 22 2026

    In a lot of warehouses and plants, people hear the same line: “Work hard and you’ll move up.” But no one can tell them what “up” actually looks like. In this episode, Jennifer breaks down a simple, three-rung ladder any light-industrial site can map on a whiteboard: Floor, Cross-Trained, and Lead-Ready. She opens with the story of a picker who spent years stuck on the line—until one supervisor finally showed him, on a scrap of paper, the exact skills and behaviors he’d need to become a lead. That tiny map changed everything. For employers and staffing pros, Jennifer shows how to turn everyday work—showing up on time, hitting rates, staying safe, helping new people—into visible milestones with small pay moves and new responsibilities, instead of empty “someday” talk. For workers, she explains how to use your current assignment as a test drive for growth: what to watch for, what to practice, and the exact questions to ask so you know whether a path is real. Listeners walk away able to sketch a ladder they can actually keep—and people can actually climb.
