does it mean anything or just a fluffy waste of time?
that's the problem,,we are grading the puppet ,not the puppet masterPart of your supervisors compensation is based on the results of the survey so, yeah, you are grading your direct supervisor, as well as the rest of your mgt team.
Is it possible for you to tell us how you know this info?Part of your supervisors compensation is based on the results of the survey so, yeah, you are grading your direct supervisor, as well as the rest of your mgt team.
Its nothing more than an easy way to make 10 minutes of OT. Nothing will change. Its amazing how everyone gives "bad grades" to all the questions, yet in a month or 2 when the results come in, everybody responded favorably like UPS is a great place to work. In our PCM about the ERI the other day, they tried to make it sound like your grading your direct supervisor and not the company as a whole......like his future depended on a favorable grade........again its a big waste of time, nothing will change.

The survey is a waste of time because the questions are phrased in a manner that prevents us from accurately expressing our opinions about the day-to-day reality of life at UPS.
I was told years ago that if you respond negatively (or positively) to every question, it is thrown out. So, you might want to keep that in mind. You've got to throw them a bone here and there if you want it to count.
I would hope that my employees, both men and women, would take the time to answer truthfully.
22 employees. 1 Supervisor. A operation. - That is our, mine and theirs, UPS world 95% of the time. 5 days a week, it is me and them in one operation. And that is our Company. That is what we experience. We don't experience anything outside of the realm except for on occasion, as in any operation. Our employee relations is me and them.
Sure, I get orders from the top. But I would never let my employees get the wrong end of the stick without putting myself in the line of fire first.
I hold my employees accountable. I train my employees. I press my employees.
I reward my employees. I listen to my employees. I learn from my employees.
So it kind of bums me out to hear some of the negative thoughts on this. "Bomb it." "Scam." I try my best to carry any burdens my employees might have and if they tanked the ERI, what could would that do? If my employees felt that their was something that was making their lives harder, and I had a chance to know that the group was all in agreement on this, I would do everything in my power to try and fix MY errors.
Not every supervisor is a puppet. Because my strings are attached to my employees. As are their strings attached to me. And TOGETHER, we try to pull each other through the UPS day.
