[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 460997, member: 4653"] BrownIEman, You are making our point my friend. Every sentence that you wrote about our on-road sups. does nothing to create a profit or generate revenue for our wonderful company. It is a waste of company resources. I think the supervisor should be in the office studying volume trends and trying to figure out the most efficent trace for his group's routes. Training rides? They are necessary to train our new-hires. Safety rides? They are a waste after the first one. I just experienced my 7th in a row with the same on-road. We talked about everything for the 7th time. I know it, he knows it. What is it accomplishing? We are in the middle of an economic downturn not seen since the great depression. I think UPS will be OK, but they will have to cut costs. They will start by cutting routes. Where should they go after that? If I were district manager I would layoff most of the supervisors. We have three in my center. I would reduce it to one. I say this because many of their tasks are non-essential to the viability of the company. For example, BrownIEman wrote "riding on-road with drivers, whether for 3 day rides, safety rides, or training rides etc, IS this supervisor's normal duties" Just as you would think its not efficeint to have two drivers in one package car the same applies to management on car. Once management jumps on car its a waste of money. Safety rides and 3-day rides do nothing to grow the bottom line. How can you justify what you are doing? You are doing absolutely nothing and getting paid for it! During x-mas however, you won't pay the helper $3 for the ride to the route with the driver but send your $1400/week sup out with the driver to accomplish nothing.:sick: At least the helper is being productive by delivering parcels!
