[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 1035578, member: 6408"] First of all, if the company knows you are not coming in Mon, I'm surprised you're still able to use your fingers, to type, that is. Funny? It's not meant to be. As I stated before, I knew a parcel supe in another district that gave his two week notice. In less than 2 seconds, his manglers said, "Well, how bout that? How time flies. Looks like two weeks is up RIGHT NOW!" His feet didn't even touch the ground when he was escorted out! Second, congrats to you. You have the steelies to quit, move on and to tell about it. Everything you said is true, though, sad to say. I have abosolutely nothing new to add. I was in the parcel side, as an hourly with the last 2 as feeder steward and have seen the same things you talked about. On the sly, some of the supes and mags will cry and sob about how bad it is and getting worse. On the open, we SEE it. As steward, when confronting mangler about resolving, what seemed to be a simple solution, he would merely say, "I can't. I don't have the power. We have to pass it on to Labor Mangler". Sad. Making unreasonable demands in scheduling? Sure! All the computer sees is what's put in and what's put in is a "perfect" day in every situation and we all know there are no perfect days. You, as a mangler, have to then kick butt as to why I didn't turn it into a perfect day. And, what gets me now is why managers and supes are supposed to show such aggresiveness in handling such issues, going so far as to mete out warning letters or terminations, yet will not, can not stand up to their superiors and tell them they are doing the best they can. Oh, I know there are many underlying issues all around the world but basically that's what WE see. I still say I'd like to see somebody from Atlanta be on the program "Undercover Boss". It doesn't have to be Davis but should be somebody that has implemented alot of these ridiculous notions and practices the company is engaged in today. We all know it ain't gonna or COULDN'T happen. Why? Almost every job here requires such intense training that the one day or one week that they spend on that show ain't even gonna BEGIN to qualify em for a position here, yet they expect all who apply to get it in one take. Good luck in your new venture. This company really needs somebody like you but ain't gonna have em. Too bad. [/QUOTE]
