I suggest he show up on time everyday. Do the job. And wait for the phone call after the slow time.
6 Weeks into Part Time Preload, am I in the clear?

Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge
I dont usually agree with upstate on anything but sitting down with the person who does the hiring is always good advice

Yes.
Yes.
No, hence the "sit down with your supervisor..." part of my post.
What if he sat around for a month or so not knowing that the company had no intention of bringing him back? He could have found another job in that time and been able to pay his bills.
We are talking about a less than 5 minute chat. "Boss, what did you think of the job that I did and do you think that there is a chance that I will be called come back when things pick up?"

Technically his supervisor does not do the hiring but they do work with HR to fill openings.

Ain’t gonna do anything for him when permanent part timers are being sent home.

It will give the kid an idea of what his future may be so that he could plan accordingly.

supervisor has zero power when it comes to this. Showing up on time everyday is the best thing you can do for yourself.
talking to a supe is going to do nothing except give the poor kid false hope.

No----it will give him a good idea of whether he should wait or look for work elsewhere.

right, so it will be a big waste of time and do nothing for him.

Again, a waste of time.
a supervisor has zero insight on the company. They cannot predict future volume. HR cannot predict future volume. Show up on time and do the job. His job is based on volume of work. Not brown nosing

i am talking about the center manager

I don’t know. Seems like a big ol waste of time. Especially if he’s in a large building.
Kid is gonna hear nothing but empty promises. It’s probably better for him to not get his hopes up and just wait for the call.

The center manager runs your preload?

what do you call the person who runs the building

The person that runs the whole building? Division Manager. The person that runs just the preload? Preload manager. The person that runs a Center? Center manager. The person that runs twilight? Twilight Manager.
We have multiple centers in our building. I'm guessing you're in a smaller building. So the center manager is responsible for everything in the building?

Correct

Wow my center manager would blow his brains out if he was in charge of preload and twilight as well.

Ah, that explains the difference in our point of view. My building has multiple centers and multiple full time preload supes and managers. Talking to anyone of them for any reason would just get lost in the shuffle. Not to mention we have a large transient part time work force. I’ve worked in a few buildings and they have all been that way.
