OK, so here's a little background. Our center manager was a previous on road sup at a neighboring center until getting promoted and moved to our center. She obviously knows people at center B from before she came to center A where I work. Having said that, the reality is that she's definitely the most hated supervisor of our center's 30 year history according to all the old timers. I've never had any trouble with her myself, as she's rarely still in the building by the time we start, I'm an excellent worker, haven't called off a day in like 5 years, haven't been late a day in over 3 years, and have the highest scans per hour rate our sort has ever had. She has no personal reason to be out to get me, except...
Here's how she operates. My current part-time supervisor used to work on my local sort and had signed a bid sheet for a full time driving job last year. Unfortunately for him, there was already a trained seasonal driver who knew the swing routes, so what does the center manager do? She personally takes my boss for an 80 minute "road test" instead of sending him out with an on-road sup on the normal 15 minute or so around the block, park on a hill, back into the building test that they usually give. After 80 minutes she has enough points on him to flunk him and all of a sudden, the guy who is already trained gets the route! So he decides to just take a part-time sup job.
OK, so now they put up a bid this Friday and I sign it, and have the most seniority (12 years) so I figure it's mine for the taking, right? Well all of a sudden a trained seasonal driver from building B that had driven out of our center to cover a few call offs before shows up on the bid sheet! I'm thinking she tipped him off to the job posting since she knew he was trained already and she knew him from when she was an on road sup over there.
Obviously a driver from another building can't get the job... unless they fail everybody who signed up at our building, right? So I'm thinking I'm going to get the center manager's personal road test from hell treatment so she can get her way. What in the world do I do?
P.S. It's not like she's paying out of her personal bank account to train a new driver. Grrr!
