[QUOTE="Southwestern, post: 937560, member: 33209"] Supervisors work because they're instructed to -- either explicitly or implicitly (example of implicit instruction: full-time sup tells part-time 'we have to get this sort down by 7:15AM' - when the first cars can't pull until 8:30). Some take the initiative themselves because they think it'll make that full-time job lower-hanging fruit. And yes, some hourlys DO become dependent on sups helping them -- maybe because they're too slow, maybe because they've been spoiled and haven't adjusted their pace or maybe because they've looked so good on paper the production ladder moved up. I worked in a building for many years in which a high level of management working occurred. Several hourlys tried to challenge it (specifically irregulars being loaded onto the bulk train before start, add/cuts being processed after the sort, etc.) and were presented with a letter forbidding them from entering the building 5-minutes before start or hanging around more than 'a reasonable time it'll take them to exit the building' upon punching out. Meanwhile, management was collecting production bonuses that would've more-than-paid for the hourly labor. High level of ethics among some managerial employees. [/QUOTE]
