You also may consider moving to a different sort if that is an option. I have worked several different sorts through the years before finding something that I enjoy.

So there should be no supervisors working in your building.... I'm sure members have filed and the company agreed, like you said.

Keep up the good work! A high turnover rate equals a lot of new members without a contract book. This equals members who don't know their rights and always ask a ton of the same questions. Start now and if you know of a member who is leaving and has a contract book, tell them your collecting them for the next member hired. Supervisors working is a no brainer and the company loses every grievance filed. File a grievance until they stop.

Supervisors are "training" people everyday. Even employees who have been here 20 or 30 years.

Apologies for the double-post, I missed this one and it's too late to edit my last...
But thanks, man. When you put in effort to anything you eventually get better at it, you know? This has been my only legitimate job for a year or two now, so it's been important for me to actually do a good enough job to essentially be left alone in order to avoid these types of spats with management.
With my recent pull, though, I'm kind of centrally-located around where the main offices are so there's always some kind of supervisor in my shlt and it's starting to get to me. At this point, the ONLY one I've got any respect or feel friendly towards is our new building manager (?I think, he's the preload supe's boss and he's always dealing with drivers). Only problem is the others all push all the blame for what they're saying and doing upwards toward him, though when I speak to him in person that doesn't quite seem likely.... unless he's two-faced, which really wouldn't surprise me with this company. The PT supe's normally leave me alone because I'm one of two or three people that never need help and tend to stay clean, but they're always around me cleaning up the missed packages and missorts and so we kind of baited each other into this conversation this morning.
I figure if they want me to do all of these redundant methods by the book, they should do their work in accordance with the contract their bosses agreed to. It's always been an option, but now I've got my finger on the trigger, so to speak.

Letter of intent for management or to resign?
Cuz quitting is a daily thought, man, trust me on that one-- some days I'm just thinking about grabbing my shlt, finding a computer in some corner to clock out at and sliding out the building without a word to anyone. The benefits are nice, though, and I do like the job itself-- it's just whether I can wait another 6 months or so for a management change in my building, that's the question.
[EDIT: The scanners aren't a problem, it's these young dudes straight out the military that expect complete conformity despite acknowledging everyone's got different skill sets, and with the scanners there are at least two methods I can think of that achieve the same end result. They should let the loaders load the way they load best, so long as those ever-important numbers stay up (or down, in the case of misloads.)]

No more letters of intent? When did that change?

Everything's changing, old man. The world's a scary place these days, what with all the touch screens and smart chips.
Ah.
Yeah, I would never even attempt to go management. Feel like they'd be all, "Hey, sure!" and fire my
on day 1. Plus, it's really not worth it, in my opinion.

You have the chip with the Mark Of The Beast embedded in your palm?

...No... No, not a chip.... more like birthmark, but... but I don't really go waving it around to people, so if you could keep that on the low for me?

I must work in the UPS Twilight Zone. Our sups are always working, sorting the belt, stacking etc. because most of our preloaders can't keep up.
I always thought a good way to quit would be to strip naked and do the macarena on a moving belt. But that's just me.

My thought's exactly, word for word. Now if supervisors were union, and were in teamcare...I'd take it in a heartbeat.
Same here. But that's not an excuse for them to be working. Just means they need to hire more preloaders. Or they can pay out grievances. Whatever, it's their company, they can do what they want.

yeah that's what i said too
also firing a PT supervisor is not easy; easier to fire a FT driver, to give a comparison

Easier to fire a PT sup but that would mean management admitting they screwed up by promoting that person so they really try to avoid doing so.

no they avoid it because it's very time consuming and tedious
