[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 423430"] the only reason I see this happening in my building is the hourlies don't push back. It seems if a supervisor knows they can get away with working they're going to do it (if getting ridden for numbers). If a supervisor has to work, we clearly need more people on the shift. I do not work unless there is an ANC and there is absolutely no other way around it. Are there times when I'm told to work by superiors or asked to work by hourlies? yes believe it or not it happens. However its extremely rare. However Lifer, many PT supes would not consider a FT position at UPS, at least ones I've talked to. They don't like the corporate climate here (not that its any different elsewhere...or much different). The micromanaging is out of control. They tell us to take ownership of our areas yet we're barked at over the radio at how we should be running the area. If its "our" area then get out of our way and let us run it. I've gotten into a couple minor disagreements/discussions over this with a superior because he was asking me to do something that simply didn't make any logical sense and I refused to do so. It's my area, let me run it. My people respect me and know that I know the job and wouldn't suggest they do something unless it had a clear benefit to them or the entire team. We make our service and usually run scratch (cost plan wise), I don't feel the need for the seemingly needless instruction. Its not that I think I know it all because I know I don't, but do I know more about preloading than a superior who has admittedly never done it? I'd be willing to bet a years salary that I do.
