"you should of stayed in the union." ? How about "you should have stayed in the union." ? Don't worry, I have seen worse writing in company memos written by supposedly educated people.
Common really? I have to proof read posts now?

Was a p/t sup for 2 1/2 years starting in 1989. Averaged 45 hours a week for 25 hours base salary pay. Was never compensated. 200 to 300 miles on pesonal car taking misloads and left in building to drivers. Had thoughts of going to full time sup. Became a driver and will retire as one.
I found this odd too. Previously we had to pick one or the other to work (day after thanksgiving or new years eve). This year we all worked (well minus a few) day after thanksgiving (PT Supes) and none of us worked new years eve. I'm not complaining thats how I usually work anyways but it was just odd.
There is always work for part time supervisors and I don't agree with them getting christmas eve off. Safety paperwork is never done. The offices always need organized. They should have come in and made action plans for 2010

Typical incompetent management style posting gone bad! just fire away without double checking for errors/ misnomers, no one REALLY cares.
I don't know, I'll ask you how great it is in a couple of months. Part time, is part time but the sups will get 27.5 hours a week, and the hourlies will be under 20 very soon......
Remember they work for you. Relationships with your employees is ok but remember you are the boss. In a blink of an eye any one of your employees will turn on you. If it comes down to you or them they will always choose them.
PT sups deserve to be compensated for their time. PERIOD.
Dedication - give me a break. Maybe if you were a full time salaried management then that is different.
So, let's see, when the original poster brings up this issue, you tell him to essentially quit and go work for Burger King. Just below in bold face black, are two posts of yours where you complain about Scott Davis and where you complain about a paycut , in essence. Looking at your 21 posts, you complain about corporate quite a bit, and Scott Davis in particular.In other posts, you have recommended McDonalds (or to take another job offer) as a career for workers disenchanted with UPS.
Given your documented discontent with corporate and your complaining in general, maybe you should take a slice of your own advice and pursue a managerial career with McDonalds, Burger King, etc.
Jim Casey turns over in his grave when he looks at the way ******** Scott Davis runs the company. Davis has no clue what partnership is and never will. He is typical accounting nerd and is all about Scott. FEDEX shares continue to move up and ours stay stagnent. It is time for a real CEO.
Pretzel, I have no doubt you could come back and run an operation. The problem is that the decisions being made by the coporate office are affecting the partnership legacy that has been the back bone of UPS. In general there is a lack of trust that the board cares what happens to the management team. I love this company and bleed brown, but at some point they need to stop taking from the management team. I undesrtand we must change, but even the latest benefit change shows the tide continues to shift toward taking care of the union memebers and sticking it to the managment team. I have no problem paying for a part of my benefits and have always sold it to my people, but the latest increase is ridiculous. The increase is nothing short of an additional pay cut, based on the lack of raises this year. I actually had an HR person tell me that I should consider using my wife's benefits, instead of questioning the changes. Sad part is my wife is a stay at home mom, but even if she was not is that the message we want to send to our management team? Bottom lines is coporate has lost touch with the management team in the centers and hub. I would say again if we need to cut true cost we need to force poeple out who are sitting on the bench with no true job. Offer them a job in operations and if they refuse, send them to the street. While this may seem harsh, in this economy it is what really needs to be done.
Best move you ever made!Was a p/t sup for 2 1/2 years starting in 1989. Averaged 45 hours a week for 25 hours base salary pay.

Wow 20 is optimistic. My midnight employees ring in at around 13-15(none of them are "I want my 3" right now).
SO true! There is nothing worse than an employee who suddenly makes it his/her job to make your life a living hell because you looked at them cross-eyed.
Also Socks, love your Sig.
Love UPS as much I did when I came through the door in 1986, but I do not care for the CEO. If I ever hate my job, I will leave. As a stock holder though, I do have a right to complain about the CEO.
