[QUOTE="konsole, post: 627065, member: 23965"] The PT sups are told to send some of their workers home before the very end so they don't have full staff for the last 15 minutes or so while the package flow has slowed to a trickle. This gets irritating at first especially when the people being sent home really don't deserve the "special treatment", but you soon realize that these people either have another job to get to or wouldnt be much help at the end anyway. I have the most seniority out of the 5 people on my belt but I'm always the last to leave, partly because I always have packages to load at the end, but also because management knows I will be effective in helping out with whatever needs to be done at the end of the day. I know it gets irritating dealing with people that refuse to clear a jam or slack off and then others are forced to help them but management won't do anything about them as long as they do an "OK" job of doing their specified job. I would say just be happy that your worth ethic is well respected and you will probably be far down the list of the first people to fire. Me and my belt sup get along great and we frequently talk about issues with people on our belt, because we also have issues with some excessive chatting while packages get missed or jams need clearing or trucks are left poorly loaded. Its nice to work with a supervisor who cares but he and I both realize that the actions taken against bad employees is slim to none. Remember that this isnt a first choice job for a good portion of the part timers and many could care less about how well they do a dirty manual labor warehouse job at 4 in the morning that they didnt need any degree for that they also feel management is trying to screw them over in. Not having that appealing of pay and work type means that a majority of your coworkers will slack off and try to get out as soon as possible as long as they get there benefits. This is why I got really interested once news of some sort of Universal Health Care bill was being throw around because then what would make our job appealing to anyone. [/QUOTE]
