(In case you don't want to read the long paragraph) In Short: Is signing a Service Test for a misloaded SALT normal? I have a hard time with confronting authority figures but in the future should I try to avoid signing, can refusing get me fired? Or is it not serious enough to begin with and just go with it?
Hi, I'm new to these forums so sorry if this seems too long or out of place or if it's been answered before! I tried browsing for answers beforehand but couldn't find anything online! I've been a PT loader for about a year now and had been moved to a new outbound about a few months ago. My original outbound is considered a cakewalk, (easy to manage, light packages, rarely any bulk) the supervisors there never even did SALT (s?) ((still not sure what exactly that stands for)) It took some adjusting to the new workload and ways but I'm starting deal with it a lot better. Recently they've started putting big emphasis on missorts and have been SALTing like crazy, I've done pretty good and have kept mine minimal for the most part except recently. In the past whenever there's been a missed SALT my new supervisors would give us a verbal warning (asking to be more careful, load slower, more SALTs) but recently I had a SALT misload happen and this other supervisor (I'm not sure what title they go by, but he basically oversees my supervisors and the whole outbound it seems?) made me sign this Service Test acknowledging the misorted SALT. I'm a bit of a pushover and probably should have asked more questions but I signed it anyway. Today it happened again only I had another person helping me since it was overflowing so there was no way of knowing who misloaded what. The same supervisor from before pulled me aside to sign even after I explained the situation and made it seem like it wasn't a big deal so I ended up signing anyway but now I feel like I made a stupid move and feel uncomfortable given I didn't agree or think it was fair. I'm not too familiar with the severity of misloads. I know about attendance and everything but I want to know if after a certain point, now that I have two failed service tests stacked up against me (with my initials) is there a limit to where I can get fired? Like three strikes I'm out kinda deal?
I appreciate any responses or input! thank you for taking the time to read regardless, hope you have a good day!
