[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 160972"] LOL our supes talk like that anyways. The only people they can get to be supes at our hub seem to be outsiders or people who don't know any better. To be honest this is counterproductive I think. Sticking people who are new or have never been in operations in a position of authority (however little authority it may be) is a bad idea in my opinion. The supervisors I report to (my line supe and the only FT supe I semi-trust) are respectful. They can be tough, but its usually only because corporate hatched a beautiful new plan that is more impossible than the old one. I talk to them and have conversations, joke with them and go to the focus meetings etc (I am not a new hire, HR for some reason just likes that I go...maybe because I survived who knows). I normally do the best I can for them because thats what I'm paid to do. IF I am disrespected I simply don't go the extra mile. Why work my ass off even more so just to be insulted or talked down to. Normally I go help where it is needed and stay until they no longer need me. However as I said if they manage to irritate me (which is rare) I go home as soon as I'm done and don't feel bad about it in the least. I was asked about supervision before and to be honest I'm considering it now. Before you go NO THATS THE DARKSIDE, I have given it a lot of thought, the extra money for school would be helpful as would the money in the bank. I know nothing I ever do will be good enough, but thats pretty much the way it is now as well so I'm conditioned I guess you could say. I also don't plan on staying at UPS forever so I want to make the money and take advantage of the things they offer while I am there. I have little faith in the teamsters negotiating a better wage for part-timers and the cutting of hours that is rumored to be coming at our hub really does impact me. If I planned on staying at UPS for a long duration I would definitely stay union, but given my plans...I don't know if thats the route to go. [/QUOTE]
