[QUOTE="RoyalFlush, post: 714622, member: 27311"] I tend to agree that in many cases the sups working excessive hours are weak performers, but not in all cases. If the operation is running smoothly the sups job is easier. If the entire operation is in a shambles, the sups job can be pretty difficult, even though the sup may have nothing to do with the operation being in the toilet. There are some managers and division managers that think the solution to every problem is to have the supervisor stick around and babysit the operation from start to finish. This leads to long hours considering eam drivers start very early and PM air drivers finish when the plane takes off. Our area has normal drivers out as early as 730 am and out as late as 9 pm. Throw in a few daily mandatory off hour tele-conference beat up /penalty sessions, shuttle missed pieces, run a route cause the staffing is off, and the long hours are locked in for the supervisor. I'd like you to explain how an on road sup can make sure the cars and the buildings are clean. You seem to have some pretty unrealistic expectations, which also contributes to excessive management hours. Local management can do a lot, but the guys on the bottom can't do it with out support from the center and district management. [/QUOTE]
