[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 426949, member: 5938"] soberups has summed this up as best it could be. UPS often preaches one thing but expects another. The one thing pt sups hates most is when we follow the safety rules they dish out every morning. I've recently been harassed up one side and down the other for not working outside my power zone and for shutting the belt down during severe egress. On the egress they yell for me to unlock the belts so they can run the outbound. I fell for that once and learned that they turned the feed back on before I was cleaned up. So many of the guys let the pkgs build up and trip over them for what, pride? I'd rather have my body intact that type of pride. Too much flow? They say "do the best you can". Twenty minutes later they come up with a paper stating my weak pieces per hour. bleh - go away kid, ya bother me. Two young, burly men unloading on a fifty year old woman? That red button is close enough to reach regardless of fallen pkgs. One young, burly unloader PLUS a pt sup unloading on me. Red button plus my favorite and very loud yell of "what's the matter with you?" Everyone loves it except the red-faced sup who scurries away like a whipped dog. Gosh, I don't like to act like that. Want to do the job, help keep the flow moving and feel I've done a good job for the day. It's not easy to have a good day after the center manager says I suck and offers to put me on sticker slapping with a dollar an hour pay cut. The old grey mare ain't what she used to be but not yet ready for pasture. Sorry this turned into a rant. It appears that the anger and resentment has followed me home for the weekend. :sad-little: [/QUOTE]
