Me: I think I'm gonna have a hard time making 9.5 today. Any possibility of a little help?

Sup: Did you shave today? Let me get you a razor.

This is good. Okay, sup has been on me and others about performance, we have a new district manager. sup says he is going to clean house, meaning he is going to take you out of service for running over. sup keeps saying im telling you or else get your numbers down.
Well i said sup, i thought that if there was a problem with time allowance, that management should have a solution. He told me he has no solution thats its my job to fix the route......Haaaaaaaa

Thats pretty stupid to say. My mom works a Wal-mart and started at $9.90. She got an invite to be a Front Manager after 8 months also. I would be suprised they would say this. They wanna loose more people?

"Hold on, let me ask (Insert Center Managers Name Here)"

My current sup is absolutely worthless. He cannot make one decision on his own and must constantly ask the center manager for every little thing. Logic would say I would be better off completely ceasing all communication with my supervisor and just dealing with my center manager.

*via diad* Today

Sup: Call the center ASAP
Me: No phone. Please use DIAD. What do you want
Sup: Call me at the center ASAP, you have a cell phone, 2nd request
Me: I have a cell phone and a DIAD. Use the DIAD. 2nd request
Sup: Stop what you're doing right now and find a phone
Sup: It's been 15 minutes, still waiting for your call.
Me: I stopped and found a phone as instructed. Was I supposed to call too.
Sup: Yes - Use it and call now - Final request
Me: I need quarters. Have none. Waisted 30 mins, will now have missed bus stops.
Sup: Nevermind, no missed.
Me: Will try my best. Wasnt too important huh...

I know I always hear:
Driver: I need help with resi
Sup: We don't have any, you're going to have to get it done
Dr: I will have missed pkgs
Sup: We can't have any missed pkgs
Dr: Well I can't do that and take lunch
Sup: I'm going to need you to come in with no missed, and take you're mandatory 20 mins.
Dr: Will Contact ASAP....

Then when I'm doing timecards, I see the driver put 12:00-12:01 in for lunch, he didn't take lunch.
The driver never gets in trouble because the supervisor never followed up and he can't get in trouble becuz he said will contact asap, it would've been different if he said Request acknowledge and accepted

[old brown shoe]

Sup-- There's a thousand people at the unemployment dept. that want your job.
Me-- Call a few in since we seem to be short handed and could use some more help around here

Bad co,dont toy with them if you value a dependable income.
If you get on thier bad side they WILL find something to fire you for,,,
I may be wrong but you seem like you have acquired a bad attitude towards your mngmt team.Dont mess with it,those sups will be reassigned soon enough,and you may luck out and get someone human,someone that knows that it takes 2 drivers to do it when you are on va-ca...in my opinion,you were out of line and unprofessional with the silly text messages...jmho...

[Tony31yrs]

me-I have ten and a half hours work!
sup-I don't have anywhere to go with it!
me-ok, but I'm going to have missed businesses.
sup-ok, take 20 and give them to the split car
me-ok, he's always in by 4:30 anyway

" It's just one stop"


Bad Co., I like your style. Good one. The only thing that DS said that I agree with is that they will LOOK for a reason to fire you. But then...what else is new?
What I do when I get that " Call center ASAP" message is respond with "received and acknowledged ", then I call when it is convenient for me to call. When they want to know why I didn't call sooner, I just tell 'em I called as soon as possible.

[doctor brown 688]

It seems like every time management is sent for new training(a.k.a. prop rod adjustment)they get programed with some new response to a never ending situation.
Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head:
"Work with me"
"Isn't there anything you can do?"
"First Iv'e heard of it"
"You shouldn't have any problems your area is condensed"
"Where else can you make the money you do and get an aerobic workout"

Me: I'm gonna have 5 missed,and in at 8:00
mgt.: How about 2 missed and be here and off by 7:55
Me: Now that we spent all this time in negotiations it's 6 mis & 8:05

Back during the "remote delivery" scam.......
CM: If you continue to deliver everything in the car, I'll have your job.

ME: If you don't want me to deliver it, don't put it in there.

They stopped putting it in there.......and I'm still working. And we see how long the "scam" lasted.
