[QUOTE="AnonyMusser, post: 817134, member: 34055"] Just joined here but have been a package handler at my hub for over a year now and am in pretty much the same boat. Not sure how to go about addressing my complaints either and have a definite laundry list of complaints. EDIT: Well I may as well list em so anyone can tell me if Im making a mountain out of a molehill or just thin skinned 1. Since our Sup's been running our PD hes fired two people for positive drug tests for pot, drug tests he had them take because he outright didnt like them. I say that not because Im upset over both the firings, I got along great with those two loaders. He knew for as long as hes been in charge that they smoked, the Sup being a smoker himself (allegedly). One of those people was the husband of a friend of several years, and fragile mentally, who it turns out was fighting very aggressive cancer, and still came in 3-4 out of 5 days a week (lazy potheads right? :sheepish:) He knows he cant get me on a drug test and I dont share how I unwind with him. 2. Last year a dear friend of mine took his life. The Sup in question, about 2 months after was breaking jams for me and a senior Full Time loader and after what started as just busting balls told me to kill myself. He claims he knew nothing about the ordeal, regardless of the fact he was seeing an employee who shares a mutual friend with me who knew all about the tragedy. She(the employee) even apologized to me for him (the sup), which says to me they probably had talked about it at some point. 3. Not even borderline sexual harrassment with EVERY employee on the dock. I dunno if this is how the insecure over-compensating type communicate now or what. I cant even explain how over the top it is, every 5-10 minutes, a :censored: joke, a gay joke, at everyone elses expense. Best way I can explain is the sexual harassment episode of King of the Hill where everyone was afraid to speak or make eye contact around the Ben Stiller character. 4. If the gay jokes and textbook sexual harassment arent enough, he will literally insult and belittle every employee whether or not it increases productivity. The new hires who dont know any better break themselves cause they dont want to let the bullying show on them. If someone has an injury, someone is sick, doesnt matter, if they call in and let him know he will call them everything in the book to belittle them and get them to come in broken, in pain, infectious, doesnt matter. Im at a loss here, our full time Sup is great, but Im sure everyone knows how it is to get around management, make the allegations and have to live with it backfiring, and considering the sociopath we(at least I) all put up with if we try and make it stop it will come back to bite us. The way I feel is at this point is Im making $11 an hour to relive my 7th grade. So tell me, am I just being dramatic, should I just move to a different dock, or should I go over his head to grieve and see who will come with me? [/QUOTE]
