[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 875757, member: 9789"] hubrat, It is not quite as easily defined as what some may lead you to believe. Management style has a lot to do with it. BUT, there are a lot of other variables involved such as make up of packages coming through the sort, type of facility, type of equipment, type of operation - air - ground - day - night - twilight - preload - etc. etc. I have had district jobs that allowed me to visit different buildings with similar operations that had a completely different mentality. Also - success breeds success and failure well it can breed more failure. Inbound sups (generally) have a much easier overall job than an outbound supervisor. The key for a good manager is to find the right match for each position and give deserving supervisors a chance to work on the inbound. PT supervisors should start on the outbound and as they gain experience they can move to positions on the inbound. Don't confuse "easier job" with less important. The inbound sets the pace for the outbounds and if you miss a trailer your job could be on the line. Another approach is to take the inbound supervisors and assign them an outbound to help supervise so that they contribute to the quality of service and the downtime. [/QUOTE]
