Well, I just thought that now that I've retired that I should give a shout-out to the few decent supervisors that I encountered over the years. I often think of the time that I backed into the district manager's fancy automobile with a package car. My lady supervisor laughed and told me that she thought that he deserved it! I thought that she walked on water from then on!

I recently became a Sup, so I'm hoping over my career someone can say this about me.

The natural jerks withstanding, it is my belief that the "goodness" of a supervisor is proportionate to the craziness that is given to them. As the crazy goes up, the goodness goes down; even the best supervisors can only dodge the stupid for so long, until someone comes along and directly instructs you to do the crazy. The fact that they have to directly instruct you to do the crazy is evidence of two things: 1) their own incompetence as management, and 2) the intensity of the "crazy" in question.
I smell a mathematical formula somewhere in there.

Isn't that the truth ... the workers will go to great lengths to help out the good supervisors who treat the employees well.

Just like everything else in life, its a two-way street.
Along the same line of thought, do you think you are capable of respecting someone that does not respect you?

I would respect the position if not the person holding said position.

Excellent thread!
Unfortunately the best management people that I have experienced in UPS no longer work for UPS.
Every time I see someone who cares about people with the claims that are outlined in the UPS written policies I know their days are numbered.
What profit a man if he gains all the money in the whole world yet loses his soul?
Management who don't trade their souls for false promises of the deceptive culture exhibited at many large corporations are usually unwelcomed trouble makers.
They are becoming extinct.
Sincerely,

"Every time I see someone who cares about people with the claims that are outlined in the UPS written policies I know their days are numbered" could have been written with brownbaggin in mind.
