Are you smarter then a twilight sort manager?

An employee, let's call him Keith, walks into the hub for his twilight shift and the sort manager, Tim, happens to be standing there.

Tim tells Keith (who is the most senior employee on his PD) that he is going to be working in the unload tonight. Keith informs him that he has seniority and would prefer to remain on his PD. Tim says that if Keith doesn't immediately report to the unload he will be fired for failing to work as directed.

Keith simply laughs and walks away.

What did Keith find so funny?

Keith needs to learn to work as directed and grieve later.

Why is it the employee has to learn to work as directed and the stupid sup can't learn seniority rules. Ask from the top, force from the bottom. A grievance would be in order if in fact he worked as directed.

Because that's how it's done. Feel free to speak to your BA about it.

My thought here is that an hourly employee will NEVER be smarter than a management person. If you don't believe me, just ask one of them. pssssst. management may not always be smarter, but they *do* have the power to hire and fire.
 
There's nothing wrong in playing the game. But you have to know how to play it.

In a terminable situation you do not see how far you can pee.
