We had 2 last year surprisedLegend has it pt sups can be promoted to full time drivers too
Or if you're a good Hub worker, they'll just ask you and try to lure you into management.
It's facts. I'm stating from experience.Lies.
I've only seen two "good workers" become part-time supes. The others were slackers and -ups at best on the preload, and a couple of them were just already supes when I started and have stuck with it....
The ones that were supes before I started? They're actually the best ones to work under in my center....
But no, usually, in my experience, they ask people that just finished their probation. It seems to have nothing to do with their ability, and everything to do with the fact that they're brand new, seem to be able to at least hang on with the workload, and haven't been biased one way or another yet (and the union hasn't had a chance to get to them yet, either).
They'll have you take a test and then interview you. The test doesn't give you a score. It gives them an idea about your personality and some basic abilities. The interview they just ask you some general questions. I was interviewed by my district manager, but I don't know if that is normal.in this case how are they going to pick one? What do they look for?
They've made it a lot harder to double shift. You have to get permission from the district manager to double shift workers now. Ground delivery for air drivers isn't as taboo. But I know they've been moving the way of stopping it. There's a lot more FT drivers than they need right now in my building so the air guys are lucky to get ground unless it's there's something strange that happened that day.You work more but dont really make more money. As a part time hub employee via double shift and ground delivery help during peak you can end up with a higher yearly income then a parttime supe with lower hours worked.
Yes and no. If you aren't very good at your job you are stuck. Whereas if you are hourly you can at least try to bid FT and qualify. Who knows, maybe some sneak past. They can just straight up tell you no, you're not going anywhere as a PT sup. There's a page on UPSers where you can see people moving positions in management and there is actually quite a bit of upward moves from PT sups.it seems like there is less upwards mobility as a part time sup as opposed to becoming a driver.
