[QUOTE="hoser, post: 122579, member: 6357"] Answering the question now: I'm happy with my supervisors. Their organization gives them little chance to really change things. I blame the organization, not the front liners who have the guts to deal with it. If I could constructively critique my supervisors, it happens too often that work is unevenly spread apart. One thing if it's based on senority, but it's based on work ethic. I know people with 3 months senority having to stack trailers and bust their asses off while the stoner burnouts with 2 weeks senority stand around picking the lightest trailer for 4 hours, and supervisors do little to evenly spread the workload. Furthermore, my supervisor doesn't delegate tasks very often. At night we need 3 people for southbound: 1 to remove box from line and put on rollers, another to pick from rollers into trailer, and another to stack. It so happens that I'm one of the 3 to southbound, alongside 2 burnouts that did nothing. Instead of showing leadership and rotating tasks daily (making the burnout stack the trailer), let alone telling who goes where regardless of equal distribution, our pt sup just stands around and waits for us to wrestle it out. Of course, I continue stacking in the trailers right below the heater. As much as I seem pissed, I'm really not. It's what I'm paid a damn good wage to do, and I hope this changes when I get senority. Because there's no way I can bust my ass off the way I am now for more than a year. And I'm hoping this is some kind of hazing. I'm only writing this long winded post because this is why UPS loses so many employees in the first 3 months. [/QUOTE]
