Your sounding like a supervisor...............lol
I would love to meet a supervisor who told people that.

Today I had about 1020 in three trucks. Start time was 4:30 and I clocked out at 8:30. I did not have the opportunity to take a break when it was time to break. I am glad it is Friday so I can recover!

Well, the opportunity was there, you just chose not to take it.
It's actually the heavy days that I take my breaks in full (1000+ pieces). As soon as I hear the buzzer, I drop what I'm doing and rest. On light days (under 900), I might take a minute to clean up a bit, during the break... 'cause I'm probably already relaxed.
1020 pieces over 4 hours is quite a bit. Did anybody help you? Did a sup come by and sort?
Nope. On this particular day my regular sup was on vacation. The one filling in for him made a point to tell me he would not help me at all.
Always take your break. You'll never be thanked for not taking itNope. On this particular day my regular sup was on vacation. The one filling in for him made a point to tell me he would not help me at all.
I totally disagree with you, here. (aside the point of sups not working and misloading)Don't let them help. They will make you accountable for their work, as well. The sups are the worst misloaders. Stack, if you have to. The belt can be shut off as well. I don't care what they say. Sleeve, my building is a straight line belt. Grab your before it goes to next guy, as he has his own work to grab. It is a lot easier at the end of the belt, too.
On Friday, I had about 1200 pieces in 4 trucks and wanted to die. I've been at it a whole six weeks. Is this normal, will it get better, or am I just being a whiny buddy*?

As far as supervisors working; of course, by rule, I would prefer them not to "have" to help, but provided they aren't physically loading boxes into trucks I don't mind them helping sort the belt, clean egresses, or pull for you while you're loading instead of just standing there.
That's not going to happen. So given the choice of him standing there, and him doing something useful, I would choose doing something useful.Wouldn't you prefer that they hire another hourly to help sort the belt, clean egresses or pull for you while you're loading so that your supervisor can do what he/she was hired to do---supervise?
I was just being smart, Greg. There is no number. Do your best and follow the methods.
