Dont mean to sound like a know it all. But I do know it all.

im thankful for the advice I haven't been here in a enough time by a longshot . Most likely it would be another f/ter from a different part of the building .. but the 4 of us have a commodorie .. I mean we are basically let alone to run our designated boxlines with little to no interference from him because were are on target and planned hours and wrapped 98 % percent of the time .. over 2 times last 2 months ..so we do pretty well .. but most if has to be contributed to a good workforce we have also

If you can get the opportunity to go full-time management, take it only if you are unfulfilled in your current position. There are plenty of good people in management, unfortunatly the worse ones get the publicity on this site.
It would become a valuable addition to your resume, and from my point of view, EVERY FT sup that left the company has had good luck in getting a job that they enjoy after they left UPS. I'm sure having this job helped in their job search.

It is excellent on your resume. Just dont stay pt forever, if they do not let you move up. Your degree gets old, and so do you.

If you have an offer to go mgt and you have a desire, then you should give it a try. With only a few months senority what do you have to loose? Any decision has its pros and cons. And mgt who started in ops get WAY more preference than mgt who didn't.

I heard last week that now once you go to management side there is no going back to union.

Unless you go full time driver. Or maybe any full time union job for that matter.

wow welcome to the real world. Where you have to do well to succeed not just show up with a heart beat and senoirity. Granted there is good union guys on my belt. But most of them wont say what you just said. Your only motivation to work hard and do your job is to retain it if you have no conscience and since we have taken the latter away and most dont have the former you can see why production is so poor.

Sort-of the same in my operation, I am the f/t sup over local sort i have 5 p/t sups under me. We have a good time and do very well we are always on top we make our #'s (not by pushing everyone around but by using respect to employees). We work and play being a female f/t sup i have had to prove myself since the day I started at ups in 99 i sometimes are pushed probably a little harder but that's ok i can take what ever is dished out.

As far as the pay its sal. you work for the money i can say there's no over=time pay what so ever. Good Luck to you!!! No matter what you do its what u make of it. If your down on it, You ain't up on it.

well Mondays check should look well as I have clocked in around 5 hrs of overtime these past 2 weeks ... 30 and 30 each week instead of standard 27.5... been covering for the f/t sup on vacay ( really just coming in a half hr earlier each day )

I hate to burst your bubble..... but.... the higher rated pay will take at least one more check before it shows up. Secondly, when you hit that 1.1 pay ratio, it is taxed higher. As high as if you were making 1.5. A simple example would be working 27.8 hours in a week. You will actually lose a couple buck in the end. But with 2.5 hours extra, you may see about $20 more than usual. Maybe a little more. Let me know via PM if this ends up not being the case.

I've been working as a service provider since October and have been approached three times about becoming a supervisor. And have said all three times NO FRIGGEN WAY!

Most of you know my opinions on Mgmt.They are without further speculation or debate the bottom of the barrel the worst of the worst, backstabbing, goat ropper's, ankle grabbin, the old guy that like's little kids a little to much off "Family Guy", and im sure there"s a lot im leaving out but i think i've made my point!
Seriously i've had the "best of the best" and the "worst of the worst". This is the point that stuns and boggles my mind the great one's I have without a doubt gave all i had to give and that little bit extra and in doing this i've seen 2 of my p/ter's promoted to f/t. Those guys are still great friends and pass a few favors my way (extra time). Now to the bad i and my staff lay down on them dont respond and watch there employment slip out of there hands. Mgmt. here is a hint listen to these other posts not so much mine im crazytree c'mon. Be honest..be real...and care just a little bit and it will pay greatly to you in the end game. Be a lil' Hitler and you will fail!

You get paid on the 15th and the 26th. It will show on upsers tomorrow (early morning). You thought you got paid on the 25th because the 26th has fallen on a weekend quite often lately and you were getting paid on the friday before it.

it depends everybody's personality is different and some ppl deal with stress different .. last week we avg. about 4 ppl not show up due to ( no call / no show, days off , planned vacay ) i was loading everyday Theres no need for me to get mad and take it out on the ppl that show up everyday and give their all. I take it in stride and them cars left everyday same time as always ..
