[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 362202, member: 14596"] You can be disciplined for refusing to work as directed, or as he refered to it insubordination which amounts to the same thing. The getting in you face was likely not needed. Were I his manager I would have coached him on dealing with his people had I witnessed such a scene. However, at the end of the day, he is the one responsible for what happens in the opperation, and there well could be legitimate reasons why pulling someone from the unload was not the best solution, and it could be that allowing your area to get backed up, while not desirable, was the least of the bad options available to him. Bottom line, when I direct an hourly to work on something, if I get pushback, I always listen to the reasons for not wanting to do what I am asking of them. After all, they know the job in most cases as well or better than I. If I cannot agree with their alternatives for one reason for another I will give, time permiting, reasons why I cannot. But at the end of the day, it is my call, as it is my hiney on the line if the wrong path is followed and things go in the sh#$ter... [/QUOTE]
