The biggest worry at my job is policy and procedure in which the team lead on the shift is held accountable for every one on the shift following it correctly. Since it changes allot its hard to keep up. The team lead on my shift is also responsible for handling all major issues and having to answer for them in weekly meetings. Being the boss here is to be in the hot seat. There is not really a power trip to be had because there is so much stress to perform and keep your team on the right path.
