[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 1030297, member: 18708"] Often we see hourlies and esp. supervisors climbing mountains of packages to get to a chute, a jam, or whatever it is - for hourlies at tops of belts, loader/preload for example - to retrieve their own packages. it's nearly humorous until you think about the aspect if any package slips, like a rock underfoot, they're falling 6-8 feet down. In 2005, I was a preloader at the top of a belt-car setup. There would be packages falling off the belt and huge jams quite often. At one point the DM came over and pointed at [I]two[/I] packages on the floor and said "what are THESE doing here? pick them up and put them on belt"...that was a little insulting , obviously, when the system UPS designed put them there and I had recently finished cleaning the floor and spending 15 minutes doing so. Such is the culture.. [/QUOTE]
