[QUOTE="Bagel, post: 476736, member: 15948"] It's a tough time to be a part time supervisor now. There's really no excuses for under performing so you're going to be in a bad position if you happen to land in an area that is just normally unproductive or screwed by the numbers any which way. I make $16.02/hr as one. After taxes and deductions I'm taking around $380-405 a week. The job isn't that bad, but you need to have a mindset that is willing to accept all challenges head on; you need to have a good degree of people skills(and this doesn't mean walking over everyone until you get what you want, supervisors are only successful because of the people assigned to said supervisor.) and more than ready to hold people accountable and do the right thing. You'll be working as if you're watched by your boss every minute and unlike being a union employee, you will be blown out if you happen to slip up. You have to be capable and ready, but more than aware of your own weaknesses and inabilities at every time. Part time supervisors aren't capable of much on their own, but are held to a higher level regardless by upper management. I took the job because I really didn't have much choice, I need to help my family so the extra pay is all worth it, and I don't care working more hours because I am paid for those anyway. I would have never seen hours and pay like I did as a union employee. But I can safely say I was alot more carefree, and a much happier employee when I was in the union too. If you do decide to become one, just remember to stay positive and work through your people. The economy is tough so there is no reason for you to have to do their work so you need to use your skills so that you can effectively have them do what needs to be done by the best means possible. You will be a decently well off supervisor if you have a force that respects you, and you respect them. [/QUOTE]
