Management Quotes

[outamyway]

As soon as we leave the yard they're done. As long as a sup or a preloader can still chase after your truck, flag you down, and toss you another package, you're still almost done.

Two walls left guys wrap it up!


Two walls 28 feet thick, one in each trailer.

LOL exactly!

My favorite, quoted earlier "We're almost done, finish that & you go home" which translates to "We're halfway done and Bob two trucks over is on the sauce again, you need to get his truck done too"

"Thanks for taking up the slack for Bob" translates to "I'm sticking you on unloading air when you finish Bob's truck"

classic line.

I've got so many it's not even funny.

Similar to my situation. I had been on load side a few times and when I went back to the sort aisle I wanted to be more honest so the load side sups could have a realistic downtime. Our f/t sup said 5 min to wrap up the aisle when we were still unloading from 3 doors and small sort was still running. I switched over to channel 2 (load side's channel) and told them that it wasn't going to be 5 minutes because of what I mentioned. So my f/t was still on the channel came up to me and told me to leave the area "because I wasn't a team player". Sounds like a good quote, but that's not it.

So I go to the building manager here's what happened;

me: Hey, f/t just kicked me out for being honest about the downtime

b/m: that's something you two have to work out

me: yeah but he's lying about the downtime...we still have a good 30 minutes

b/m: not my problem, you two work it out

hey maybe if you punched in and out correctly you wouldnt have any payroll issues. messing with timecards is a touchy job. people can lose their job over that. so just do your job and make sure you punch in and out correctly. if you were my employee i would have retrained you on timecard procedures and then given you a warning letter.... just to start the discipline cycle because you are bound to mess up again...

and what happens when management s up on your time card and they tell you, "take one for the team." People make mistakes you know.

You sound like the kind of sup that will cause more problems than solve. Damn, you must fit right in at you're Nazi meetings and smoke break get togethers.

More like if management adjusted start times properly we wouldn't have timecard issues. Every time I work a second shift my timecard gets messed up and I have to fix it, oh well more money for me, I'm on the clock while fixing it.

"Why on earth are you are STACKING??"

(even though we just pushed 14,000 packages at you in the 1st hour)

[bellesotico]

"Just load them up the middle."

"We're almost done. Start wrapping up"...half an hour later...."We're almost done...Start wrapping up"....and ANOTHER half hour goes by..."Alright people..this is it! Nothing but smalls! We're almost done..Get your bulk in..Start wrapping up!"

"Make sure you're verifying and calling out your dock numbers. I want to hear everyone calling out dock numbers"

"I know it's not your fault you are stacked out...you got blown out today, but I need you to wrap up in like 5 minutes."

My fav is asking someone to do something and directly following up with THANK YOU

my personal favorite. i usually say that, with the part in parenthesis as well lol. Like "we only pushed 12000 today guys whats the deal?" They know I'm being facetious.

However my other favorite is when our manager goes WHAT HAPPENED?! considering the unload wraps in about 2.5 hrs now I think common sense would explain why we're buried....common sense...but I won't go there.
