[QUOTE="JackOfClubs, post: 2739630, member: 66834"] I'm a relatively new PT sup. One thing that my FT sup does that bothers me is that, most every day, he sends a handful of hourly employees home once the 22.3 employees arrive. He claims that it's because we "don't have work for them". However, my work area often needs help when the volume gets heavy and the tilt tray (I work in Smalls, if any of you are familiar with those) shuts off. I once told him I don't like that we send so many people home because it leaves my people overworked and stretched too thin, and he went ballistic on me. Pretty much every hourly I've talked to about it agrees with me, and say my FT I'd trying to maximize our numbers with as few people as possible (apparently, his bonus depends on it.) Lastly, the ones who always go home are the kind of people who give unions a bad name* (I have seen adults throw tantrums when I asked them to do a simple task). Does anyone else see this, and do you agree/disagree with it? *disclaimer: I know many union employees are good, honest, hard-working people. [/QUOTE]
