That was just my guess at "lock in", not the validity of it.

If lock in means a sup pestering you every day all shift, that is grounds for harassment grievances.
Check with your steward about that.

When I was part time unloading trailers, the Supe did the same by standing there and watching me the whole time and so I purposely slow down and he leaves.. One day he did it again but this time he caught me on a bad day. So I told him to get the

I never understood why people get stressed about this kind of thing. They can't fire you for speed so who cares how long it takes you? Even if the sups are watching over you just work slower, they like that.

On Monday they cut the route I normally load so I went to a different pick. There was a new pt sup who was on that line and he kept trying to make me speed up. Told him to take a hike. He gave me a sour look and walked away. That was the last I heard of it.

Cook up a crock pot of beans, ham hocks and jalapenos.
Pass gas all night, especially when he is close to you. If he asks if you are sick just say, "I don't think so....it must be stress related.".

Gee, you guys have it bad. I got sent off to a single P1700 at the end of the belt. I'm in a damp, dark little corner all by myself and no one bothers me.
My eyes are acclimating to the darkness and I can feel my skin getting wet and pasty. I feel like Gollum.
I think the only reason they don't bother me is that I'm the only reg-temp out of 12 or so who says yes to running EAMs and Saturday airs on a regular basis.

boxlines and slides get 4-6 cars, but a belt is usually 3, fyi
OP if you want to have some fun with them when they go to "lock you in", ask them to include an MSD load worksheet of your belt, specifically looking at the utilization of your pull
bet my AMEX you're overutilized

What's an msd load sheet?
You guys are sure giving me a lot of fire power here I'm almost positive they're not going to expect me to be able to be so well equipped tomorrow

BTW I'm on the boxline

when IE measures the preload operation, one part of the puzzle is to create an ~ideal conditions~ lineup; we take all the typical routes, their volume (gross & net), and their car-size and we plug it into a load worksheet
in the load worksheet, we create pulls from these routes, each to be loaded by a preloader; in a boxline or slide this is as simple as giving them enough volume until they have over 3.5 hours, but less than whatever the sort-span is; for a belt-to-car it gets more interesting
for belt-to-car, not only are you getting hours for the pieces you load, but also for any pieces ~upstream~ on the belt that you have to scan before finding your pieces; technically this gives you a % utilization rather than pure hours
the goal is 90-100% utilization, the average is around a 97%; if you're loading 1300 pieces, depending on the sort span (and knowing how most operations run), you are probably overutilized

IE boogeyman
how long do they give you to load these 1300~ pieces?
Tom MacDonald
Max E. Pads
I come in tomorrow at 4 a.m. usually get off between 8 and 9. Their "downtime" is never accurate

IE boogeyman
unless a big chunk of your volume is smalls, you should have somewhere around 900-1000 pieces for that span
Tom MacDonald
Max E. Pads
Yeah a lot of smalls, that's kind of the problem. I feel overwhelmed by the amount of smalls and they seem to all come at once during last rev

Judge me.
Just don't get carried away, I thought I remember you saying you wanted to drive soon? Prob a good idea to just do your best, be safe, and bite your tongue. barring ssupervisor doing union work and compromising your and co-workers saftey.
Hows your transition to driving going?
