[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 163058"] that is the result of treating the decent people like morons at least at my hub. Most (notice I say most) people know how to do their jobs just let them do it already. I had someone instructing me about where my airs go today (supe) looks like this Supe: I put that in the 1000 section...whats it doing in this tote again Me: I know I moved it to where the driver wants it. Supe: thats not how PAS works Me: PAS doesn't work, I'm trying to make my drivers day easier Supe: *perplexed* what if someone covers for you when you're out or for him Me: cover drivers seem to know to look through the car or ask (any cover driver thats covered one of my drivers does one or both of these things) Me: OR you could just have his truck dispatched the way he wants it loaded Supe: *picks up airs to put them back in 1000* that pretty much sums it up. I moved them back after he left and notified the steward about it. I know how to do my job, cover drivers are glad to cover a route that I am loading (in fact one even asked if I loaded a certain route today and was disappointed when I said no). I don't get misloads, I don't get complaints, leave me alone and let me do my damn job. :mad: I should add that this is not my line supe, she knows when I am in trouble but also knows I can dig my way out of it normally. She usually lets me go about my business only stopping to tell me if I am expected to get hit hard with certain bulk stops. Thats what I liked. She trained me, she knows I "get" it, so she doesn't seem to worry about me too much. Want better workers? well for starters you could raise the wage a bit, but thats contract talk which I don't wanna get into, you could treat people like human beings and not dumb monkeys. Because I know for a fact that aside from maybe my line supe and one of our FT supes, I doubt anyone in management can load my trucks as well or better than me and I'd challenge any one of them to do so. Why I've stayed is beyond me, I like the people really. It certainly ain't the job or the pay (yes I know its PT work don't lecture on making a living off it, I don't claim that I should be able to). Maybe I just like seeing what brilliant idea the minds of UPS come up with next. [/QUOTE]
