Do your job and there will be less to look atCan't focus. My eyes are too blurry from looking at reams of wasted paper shoved in my face every morning.

Do your job and there will be less to look at
Hello everyone,This is a great site,and I've been reading the threads about 2 years and finally decided to join,I have been a supervisor at ups for a few years now,and I think ups wastes a lot of money with all the paperwork involved in overmanaging employees to the point where it makes them resentful towards the company.
I have been reproached a few times for refusing to discipline employees for insignificant mistakes.I have about had it with the being screamed at for things that I can't change due to cutbacks.I have about had enough,
How can managers manage correctly when they cant even perform the task they are asking their employees to do.I have seen several on roads that cant drive stick.How can someone be taken seriously when they are asking of us what they cant do themselves.I think UPS has dropped the ball by promoting tech guys into leadership positions that dont involve their area of expertise.Then i watch as these people attempt to train employees and then wonder why the employee they trained are having a hard time performing the job or even worse getting into accidents,rollaways,and being injured.The quality of management has dropped and it all trickles down from there.I have seen people on this board defend management blindly and the same goes for us union workers.We all work for UPS and every once in a while a non management union employee might have a good idea that should be taken into consideration.The same goes for the union,not all management is out to get us.This company will continue to make profits but at the expense of its employees.

I think I would feel better about your criticism if I felt it was an accurate representation of reality. what tends to make me suspicious of your criticism is incorrect references such as the ones you used here. Managers run the center, onroads are supervisors responsible for training and report to the manager. I think most drivers who have been around long enough to comment on the decline of management would understand that point.
Otherwise I think your criticism may be more reflective of the decline of the workforce in general rather then a rant on management only.
All companies make profits at the expense of their employees. How else would they make a profit? The company invests capitol and they hire people to do the work. Profit is the net gain on the amount of work produced minus the expense of producing the work. Companies that are unsuccessful at this basic concept fail to exist.
Quality of people is usually a direct reflection on compensation. As the value of the job declines, the value of the people willing to do the work declines. As the company moves further toward industry standard compensation, the quality of people will continue to decline. PTers are already below industry standard and the quality is clearly reflective of the ever declining level of compensation.[/QUOTE

I agree wholeheartedly.The diversity of standards are not set.Tieguy.The things i commented on are 100% reality.I have seen first hand these things take place.It is 100% an accurate depiction of what is taking place.Once again someone is defending there side blindly.It may not be happening where you are but that does not mean it is not happening.You can discredit what i have to say but that does not mean it is not true.Once again i am dissapointed by the hardline stance that is displayed here.While my post may have been a rant these things are still taking place.Leaders lead by example and dont belittle people.The company as a whole is lacking in the leadership area.Workers do not want to follow what management have to say because they do not respect what they do.The workforce at UPS is working harder than ever and most of us are doing a great job and accepting the change.
I also understand that all companies make money at the expense of their employees.
We dont need all that management. Most of them are wasted salaries,,,,......
