[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 478384"] Theres a lot of that going around...most of the PT Supes at my building like ducks on a pond, calm on the surface (looking like they've got it all together) but underneath those little feat are kicking like crazy. It's gotten to the point that our manager is seemingly getting frustrated that no one volunteers to help anymore when something comes up. He can't figure out why. Belittling an area's supervisor in front of it's employees is unacceptable to me and unprofessional, but its becoming common practice at my building. It's pathetic really. I've yet to have this happen to me but its only a matter of time. Not to mention we're being told how to run our areas, so we're really not in charge, but puppets. Some of us listen, some don't and take some licks for doing it our own way (whether the results are positive or not). It's really got to the point where many supes just don't care anymore because nothing they do is right or good enough (sound familiar? same way the hourlies are treated). Believe it or not guys many part time supes go to bat for their employees a lot more than many seem to think. That angers upper management apparently. They say don't take excuses, even valid ones. If it seems like our hourlies defend our actions and viceversa you'd be right. We get that we're all in this together. Far above us they seem to want to further the divide of "us vs them". It isn't really working though. We see the effort being put in, upper management sees a spreadsheet. We see the slides filling up at 700 and backing up into the primary due to late loads, they see the unload went down at 708 and can't understand why the loaders are still on the clock. Blind to the actual happenings of the sort. Then they want volunteers for responders, a safety committee, sort newsletter etc and such after they've beaten and broken the spirit of once proud employees and can't fathom why no one wants to help them out. I'm not complaing and I'm not crying, I knew what I was in for when I signed up for this job...I just think theres a better way to do this stuff and no one above us seems to care. [/QUOTE]
