[QUOTE="IDoLessWorkThanMost, post: 377982, member: 12912"] You have a very interesting perspective. Maybe you should go into management, honestly. I wonder how long it'll take for you to get a good idea of the big picture in the cog called UPS outside of your preloading. Supervisors aren't supposed to "jump in" and start working. We have a contract and no supervisor working clauses for a reason. If everyone supervisor jumps in and helps 30 minutes out of a day, that is about let's say 50 hours [i]per shift[/i] in a hub that should be going to a new hire or any part-time employee. Yeah, thats hiring 10 or 12 less people! Do you think it's because supervisors geniunely want to work or because they are forced to by managers or are doing so to make numbers or bonuses? I have no problem with a sup jumping in and helping break jams or even getting someone caught up for 5 minutes. But you're talking about the "future" here, and if you want to talk about the future, you have to realize that supervisors working ELIMINATES the future of several possible jobs. Supervisors sometimes help to keep morale up , on occasion, but generally it is to MAKE THEIR NUMBERS and not get an earful from their higher ups. Plain and simple, most of the time they work for selfish reasons - bonuses, numbers, etc. not because they sympathize with the average package handler. [/QUOTE]
