[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 371858, member: 4653"] Tie, That was an enlightening post. Its something (managing upwards) that I never thought about and its a concept I didn't know existed. This leads me to another question. What about the concept of managing sideways? By this, I mean the on-car, dispatch, and preload supervisors managing to help each other out. I ask this because it appears to me that each wants to make themselves look good, but what each other does affects how the other one looks. Examples would be the pre-load sup putting overflow on a car that screws up the on-cars plans for the driver who got the overflow. Or the dispatch sup over-dispacthing two towns and not doing anything about it. How are these things explained to their superiors? I ask this because all summer we have been over-dispacthed. Every route in the entire town is "in the red" and the dispacth sup. does nothing with approved 8-hour requests. Now, when my on-car sup. is on vacation we are all screwed as nobody gets help. We he's here we all get help. He'll even add an extra driver if its really bad. So what I'm getting to is, does he give crap to the dispacth sup for not moving any work around? And does the dispacth sup think "I was told to run x routes, now its up to the on-car to help people in the PM" I understand my post is a convoluted mess, but can ya hear what I'm saying a little????
