To be completely honest you did only get admin just over a week ago and even though you've been staff a lot in the past I think you should still wait a bit before applying for lead team just after getting admin. I've not heard you talk too much in the meetings and you have only just started editing the spreadsheet, so you should keep that up for a while and if you get chance to do the polls in the meeting that's probably a good idea too.
Hold up, when was it at all needed to do all this poll and spreadsheet stuff as admin? Great he’s doing it, but how come it should be held against him that he’s only done it for a week? Getting SA isn’t a matter of whoever can do all the work of a lead team member when they aren’t. IMO there shouldn’t be admins doing spreadsheets and polls and whatnot because that’s a lead team role and there’s an element of trust involved, which I wouldn’t give to anyone unless I’d known them for a long time.
tldr I think the only valid thing in eddies reply is that you don’t speak in meetings and you just got staff
Doing the spreadsheet and polls is just something that can make you stand out from the crowd. It's helpful for proving your trust and dedication and I was told doing those kind of duties was something I needed to work on when I first applied. I guess it's just an expectation or something recommended to do by the current LT when you are applying. I don't see a problem with admins doing those duties and I also disagree with you when you say it's a LT exclusive role.
I gave that feedback to Jax because I myself was given that exact feedback from the LT, therefore I do think it is valid.
