[QUOTE="konsole, post: 745054, member: 23965"] Others in here may recognize me for having starting a thread about supervisors working a like 6 weeks ago and we had some good discussions in there. Currently I have filed 3 grievances since then for supervisors working, so from my personal experience and from reading what others have said I can give you a few helpful pointers. 1. Like others have said don't worry about the losing friends part. If a coworker stops being a friend with you because you are filing grievances for good reason then that person isnt worth being friends with anyways. Its a professional environment not some place you go to make friends. 2. Make sure the supervisor doesnt have a "mediocre" reason to work, like the building is vastly understaffed from people calling out or the sup is filling in for someone whos late or the sup is helping someone that has a sore arm or back or whatever. If managment has even the weakest reason for a sup to work they will use it to deny the grievance. Its not that you shouldnt be able to file grievance during these events its just that you might as well pick from the abundance of times were there isnt even the slightest reason for them to work. 3. On the grievance make it known that there isnt even the slightest reason the supervisor was allowed to work and use examples like you had proper staffing and nobody was late or left early. Also make note of how many grievances you have filed about the subject. Make management know that this isnt a 1 grievance and give up event. 4. You will probably get targeted more for minor things, but as long as you continue to be a good worker and dont lose your cool they will start to see that they cant break you and will stop nitpicking you. 5. Most of the workers around you will not agree with your filing because they would rather the supervisor help them so their day is easier. Try to have a 1 on 1 chat with your coworkers and tell them that part of the reason why they are getting slammed is because with supervisors working management sees that more work can be done. 6. Take into consideration that management has to deal with too many people with bad attendance and try not to file every time you feel like it. File maybe once a week and use a day when a supervisors working is just too blatantly unnecessary. [/QUOTE]
