[QUOTE="soberups, post: 570352, member: 14668"] Just remember these simple rules and you can put up with anything. 1. No matter how well you do your job it will never be good enough. 2. Any action you take to get your name off of one daily report will simply cause you to appear on a different one. Your stress level will drop once you accept the fact that you will always be on a report somewhere and there is no point in worrying about it. 3. You have job security. Your boss doesnt. He knows it, and he knows that[I] you[/I] know it. His only coping mechanism for this fact is to write you up for irrelevant crap. 4. You get a raise this year. Your boss dosnt. He knows it, and he knows that [I]you[/I] know it. His only coping mechanism for this fact is to write you up for irrelevant crap. 5. It is easier for your supervisor to manipulate statistics than it is for him to produce results. 6. You justify [I]your [/I]career by providing service to your customers. Your supervisor justifies [I]his[/I] career by providing reports to his superior. 7. There is no loyalty at UPS. The moment that you are no longer able to make your immediate superior look good on paper, you become a liability rather than an asset and you will be treated accordingly. You might as well get it out of the way now. 8. The average supervisor or center manager spends 2 years at his assigment before being transferred, promoted or fired. You were probably there before he was, and you will be there long after he is gone. Any problems he has with you are temporary. 9. Never make the mistake of assuming that your supervisor has the authority to decide anything for himself. He is nothing more than a tube that serves as a connection between those who do the work and those who make the decisions. Those decisions come [I]down[/I] through him and when they dont work they will simply regurgitate back [I]up[/I] through him. Getting mad at your sup is like getting mad at a section of sewer pipe for being clogged. Once the stench gets bad enough, those who make the decisions will get tired of the smell and only then will the problems actually get solved. Until then, just plug your nose and smile. 10. Fearful people make stupid choices. Most sups arent stupid, they are only afraid. You dont have to be afraid, you just have to deal with other peoples stupid choices. 11. If your supervisor turns on "the heat"....you need to turn it up even [I]hotter. [/I]They have AC and you dont. Its up to them if they choose to use it. You dont need it. [/QUOTE]
