[QUOTE="The manic loader, post: 2018071, member: 61769"] Gotcha, I may have to give you some background. No matter what area I'm placed in and no matter what task I am given I approach it as an opportunity to separate myself from the pack and thats just not at UPS. I work hard because Its natural to me. Its normal, I see the task and approach it aggressively. The trailer I work in gets the work each night. In our area its three of us. A sorter and two loaders. We load a 2 -shortys and 2- 53" 4 trailers in all. Its just us. We might have a supervisor, we might not. Since I started last January of 2015 I have had 8 supervisor. One quit and the others moved on in the hub. So let me ask when I get a jam who can i call on? When I need my sides picked up, whos going to pick em up. When I am getting hit I mean smacked! Who can i depend on to help me out. ME! That is who because my co-workers is getting smacked also. And we move to the next truck get smacked until someone looks at the numbers and sees whats happening. Do you want to know a good feeling, its when I am in a trailer working and over hear on radio "only one on plan in building." And then I hear the PPH 4 something or 5 something, its a good feeling. And I don't complain and throw a temper tantrum and whine, i just get it in. Now this is the kicker they might snatch my homeboy up real quick and now guess what? I'm loading four trucks. And the whole time i haven't said a word, not one complaint, not one curse word. I just separate myself from the rest. Timing and techniques is what I worked on. I always call if im going to be a few minutes late and since I use public transportation to get too and from work, I make sure I get to work early. Rain, sleet, hail or snow i am at that bus stop getting to work no excuses and mangement knows this, because I see them everyday. They can come and speak with me at anytime. As a matter of fact i see them everyday. Leeway is not just being late Its ambiguous. Also, if my supervisor did decide to, "180," I would do 180 right with him and slow down to the PPH that i am supposed to do and watch everything come to a halt. Belts going to stop, sorts stops, backes out all way to the primary just because I choose to follow the rules and do a PPH OF 350 instead of a 480. Now guess whos in the hot seat. Its a team effort and I approach it that way. "Comfortable" how dare you insult me. [/QUOTE]
