I've browsed the forums for a couple years now, but never actually made an account.
Anyway, after being a PT in a hub for almost five years, I've never came close to quitting until this last year. My full time supervisor is completely incompetent, and it's starting to really wear down me and my coworkers. She'll move people around haphazardly, not giving any thought to what'll happen towards the end of the night, and speaking as a pick off who has had more competent full time supervisors, I've grown tired of coming down after five to six hours and having to handle five to six carts of irregs every night.
It's never been so horrible to me. For example, my old full timer was running my area a few weeks ago when my full timer was on vacation, and I handled about seven irregs all week. The day she came back, she sent three people home from the area and moved two people from my dock. We started at 2PM (on a Monday) and I clocked out at 10:47PM, when that previous week I clocked out at 9:55PM on the same day, with an almost identical belt volume. I don't hate getting the hours, and I'm not scared of work. But, if I'm gonna be sweeping iron for an hour after picking off for most the day, then I'd rather just use my seniority and pick off all day, as I prefer handling irregs to picking off.
Tl;dr, is there any real way to handle an incompetent FT supervisor?

up. Get thicker skin.
over the last year, I'm burnt out. I really used to enjoy my job, but she's starting to make me lose faith in sticking around. I've tried switching to Night Sort a few times and each time I was actually a relatively high seniority for a lot of the sign up lists (if it gives you any idea how quickly people quit) and never got talked to about switching sorts. I'm hoping they switch her out, because they switch the full timers pretty often here but I've been on my last legs with this chick. If nothing else, some guys from HR me to go into full time driving just about every few months even before I was 21, but I'm not sure I'm making a career out of UPS. I'm at a point with my financial and home life I can get back to school, so this place doesn't have to be my career, but I've honestly really enjoyed the company and my coworkers the last few years until this current situation.
