[QUOTE="canon, post: 167594, member: 8423"] I haven't heard a resounding "management sucks" from them... more like a few bad apples can have a big impact on your day. Same as the drivers. In this case I think we're talking about a shift in the style of managing from when we were on the belts. You said you're able to get a sense of pride in doing a good job... what if the situation prevented you from doing a good job such as having to load too many cars and keep up with PAS splits back and forth all night? We're lucky in that even when mgmt is telling us to do more, we can still get a sense of worth when the customer appreciates the job we do. On the belt there is no secondary source. I agree there should be a sense of pride in anything you do. I'm not sure what a sense of pride does for you at the end of the day when you're told whatever you did wasn't enough. It has the effect of taking the wind out of your sail. I acknowledge the usefulness of a positive attitude, but I also realize everyone has a breaking point. And in the case of part-timers a good portion is young, still lives at home and probably doesn't plan on staying at UPS anyway. I still believe the time to gain their loyalty is when it [I]isn't[/I] needed. That way you'll have it when it is. I agree with everything you said... that's how it [I]should[/I] be. But it isn't automatic, respect is earned and lost. [/QUOTE]
