[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 777951, member: 9789"] Good Point! In all my years in management, I saw abuses in the system but they were never long term. You might have a 12 or 15 hour day but rarely did you endure 60 to 70 hour weeks over and over again. I had a center with 4 full time supervisors before there were dispatch supervisors and pm supervisors and every week we would plan out a schedule so no one would have to work more than 9-10 hours and the supervisors would rotate 1/2 days on Friday. Once California started with the management lawsuits (PT & FT supervisors) the whole concept of center management (hours) changed. I had a challenge with part-time management back in 2000-2004. I had a Sunday operation that usually went from 16:30 to 13:30 (the next day) and it took 5 more operation supervisors than I had normally during the week to run. To keep people from leaving we had to think outside the box. Stagger starts, giving days off - supervisors that only covered lunches and occasionally we would have those Sundays when a feeder or two would break down or hit weather and you could tack on another 3 to hours. BUT, I had to make sure that those supervisors were compensated for their time one way or another besides what California law permitted. If I didn't do that, I would have had supervisors leaving left and right. [/QUOTE]
