[QUOTE="Big Package, post: 2922973, member: 67494"] Thank you all for your responses. I always wondered why there was such a disconnect between P/FT supes and you know, people who do real work. We are a pretty progressive state as far as tattoos. Almost half (maybe more) of our drivers have them. I have a tasteful military on one arm and a firefighter badge on the other. Trust me it was my first concern so I asked the union steward. I was told they're tasteful and fine, and would be looked at as "better" since I guess there's a strong military and leo/fire in the line of work. It never really gets over 70 anyway. I am hoping for driver. If I get it in a few years I can retire by 60 or 62. I've figured as long as I show up every day and don't mess up and do a great job I should be fine. I know this might get laughs but I do hope they appreciate a hard worker and a versatile fillin on some level. I see guys who have been doing these jobs 5,10,15 years and nothing against them they are great people but something wears away at these folks and a majority (years and years later) don't really go above and beyond - I mean come on, it's not hard to jump to unload quick if you're just doing smalls and the chutes are empty. But I guess I can kind of see why. Our supes are at least 10 years younger than I, and I'm not that old.. Everyone says the management is worse in this location than anywhere else.. and if I'm planning on doing driver, I should just transfer to the town with drivers getting 60h/wk and work my way up inside that hub. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
