Does anyone like their PT supervisor

[racerchaser]

They seem to take a lot of heat. I work the sort and anytime the guy try's to help out everyone gives him ***** for touching the box's. He's just helping out for 5 or 10 minutes to cover a responder (leaker) or if someone gets double unloaders

 

[KBlakk]

He's a non-union guy doing union's work. I write down each and every time that my supervisor touches a package (even on the freight side), and if the time comes, I'll give that info to my steward.

5 minutes may or may not be a big deal, but give them an inch and they will take a mile

I have 2 really cool P/T supervisors. If either of them left I would probably leave too.

I've seen a pretty steady march of incompetence at my center. There is one of our supes who seems to have retained some shred of dignity, however. I wouldn't say I like him, but I've hung out with him and it wasn't bad.

I don't dislike most part-time supervisors. Only the ones who think and act as if they are in a position of authority do I have a problem with. Most of the ones that work tell me they really have no interest in working, and in fact seemed relieved when I ask them not to perform union work. Its usually their direct supervisors who pressure them to get into a situation where they have no choice but to do union work. In my area they have nights where they try to pack the unload with more unloaders than sorters even if it means sending qualified sorters to the unload. Then the part-time sup has to jump in and do something or his/her area goes to crap, and they get yelled at for it.

To some extent I admire some part time supervisors because I truly believe they put up with more **** than anyone else in the building.

lately the PT SUPS are just glorified loaders. They just cant seem to stay away from a pkg. And boy do they pay.

I just got a new supervisor. He's 10x better than my old one, who I liked as a person but hated as a supervisor. He just became a supervisor...very laid back. He goes out of his way to help me...tells me what's going on, asks for advice, breaks jams every now and then and helps wrap up..probably not supposed to do that though. Real good guy.

Nice guy huh? I give it a month before he turns into a grade-A ****** or quits.

Nah...he's running a very low-stress belt..only 3 employees on it.

Where I work we let the supervisors work all the time. What's the big deal it helps us get done faster. Some of the guys in my area get mad because they only get 3.5 hours but it's a part time job you can't make a living off of it anyhow.

Prepare to get flamed by every union employee on this board.

Remember that every 5 minutes a supervisor works is 5 minutes out of an employee's check.

Adds up fast!

It's "nice" in the short run to have a manager help you out, but in the long run it means they will simply run with fewer employees.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

No.

Our part time supes are usually invisible, especially when someone needs to make a decision on what to do with extra boxes.

Oh Boy.


If the supervisors wouldn't work, and the part timers actually cared, they would make 4 hours instead of 3.5. We're talking pennies, but it's about the principle of the situation.


Anyway, the part time supervisor position is really a joke at UPS. They don't really have any authority, yet have to take the most flack from the hourlies. At the same time, they get held responsible for anything going wrong, even when upper management doesn't give the adequate staffing or the tools to do the job. They are pretty much a scapegoat.
