[QUOTE="Cackinthehat, post: 350429, member: 7408"] All I will say after reading everyones post is this.....(and keep in mind there is only one supe, and five hourlies here. Not a lot, if any, of moving can be done for help). When I was a preloader (hourly), I never really cared about the supes loading. Partly because I just didn't care, and partly because I just wanted to do my job, and do it well. I cared about doing it good for the drivers I loaded for. When I got hammered, I appreciated my supes help so the belt could stay on. Now, being that I am a preload supe, I understand why he was so eager to help. Getting yelled at for not making numbers sucks. I do all of the tasks assigned to me, and then some. Yes, I help my preloaders load. Slowing down the belt does not keep the PPH up, so I get yelled at. Stopping the belt stops flow. I get yelled at. So many excuses...you have all heard them. Bottom line for me....I know that none of our jobs are exactly easy, or fun, or non-stressful (hourly or management). Take a minute to try and understand where ALL OF US are coming from when we vent our frustrations. Would all of you hourlies still be saying what you are if you were in management? Maybe not. Or maybe you would be awesome managers. Who knows? And for most of us supes, we know that the help can be greatly needed at times, even if we dont want to admit it. And maybe, if we were back in your shoes, we would want the supes to keep their hands off the packages. Again, who knows? If I had all of the hourly people in my center come to me and tell me I need to stop loading, I would. But they don't. Luckily, we all understand that there are some things that just need to be done so we can all do our job effectively, and be able to go home at end of our shift still somewhat happy that the job got done.
