so what's the problem???So for the past few months the sups and center manager have been asking when I will be putting in my letter of intent for management. It started out like a playful kind of deal but recently its like every other day they are asking. I'm a likable guy and get along with everyone including management, but I dont know where they got the idea that I had any intention of going into management? I have only been a FT driver for a little under a year, but I love my job and love delivering. Unless they offered me $150k+ a year, full benefits, and a tenure position, I wouldnt even consider going into management at this point in my life.
The thing that reallyme off today was the center manager and our shop steward were having a talk in the office and I needed to ask the center manager a question so I politely interrupted. Before I could utter a word the center manager says "Are you here to put in your letter" and our shop steward went along with it and said I would be a great supervisor and I should do it! And he was serious. Isnt this guy supposed to stand up for me and the union and keep union employees!?!?
Just curious if anyone else gets asks this by management often? Maybe there is a certain quality they are looking for or something? I need to get rid of that quality so they quit asking lol

Couldnt be farther from the truth. I was a utility driver while I preloaded so I got the driving thing down pretty fast. I am never over allowed, I can cover any route, and I dont get in accidents. The way I see it, I am far better utilized as a driver

You should feel honored, they hired on a golf cart helper to be a sup in our building. This is why the company is loosing it's edge.

Until all the above happens, DO NOT ask me again!
If they keep asking, file a harassment grievance!
Or, just ask them what part of NO they do not understand!
The N, or the O?

I usually get asked whenever there is an opening near me. Obviously they have a harder and harder time finding qualified candidates, so they bug the same people over and over. Back when I was a young, ambitious man I considered it. But things were already starting to shift toward micro management at that time. Used to be that management was allowed manage a work group how they saw fit. Now they just carry out directives like robots. I tell them I'll consider it, but I'll need in excess of $120k, which they would never do. Last kid they talked into "promotion" got well under $80k, and no pension. The key is to get em in year one of driver progression, when $80k sounds like a lot of $$ and full scale seems like a lifetime away.

Every time they bring it up just shut down and walk away. They will get the hint.So for the past few months the sups and center manager have been asking when I will be putting in my letter of intent for management.

The requests for you to put in your letter will wane as time goes on. If some of your hourly employees hear about them wanting you to go into management you might get your balls broke for a while.
