[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 168244"] I have been thinking about going into management (::GASP::) for this very reason. However, they are managed from above about what they can and can't do so its also hard for them to make change as well. Even so, like many others who work at UPS I do have a degree and would like to attempt to use it somewhat and there are opportunities here. I have the most seniority on my line and I know what does and doesn't work on this shift (though that doesn't keep them from trying it anyway). The thing is it doesn't matter, all that matters are the numbers. Do I think doubling the people on the slide at the end of the day then complaining that the line looks like a bomb hit it is a good idea? no, does it still happen regularly? you bet it does. Do they think its a good idea? only because it gets people off the clock sooner, logically? no I don't think they do. Curiously thats when most of the misloads that aren't due to computer or spa error occur...when they're rushing you to get out and off the clock. AS long as numbers are the primary focus, people will keep leaving this company left and right in the days following their hiring because they too are just numbers to this place by an large. I honestly believe our management team knows what it's doing and could be amazing if they didn't have to do whatever they can to make the next to impossible numbers. I think we have a great team for the most part its just even they are pressured like we are. Unlike the drivers, the PT pay is not enough to keep people through the tough times (not a knock against the drivers at all, you earn every bit of that money), so when you push a newhire or even a veteran PTer...not much stops them from taking a walk. The benefits are nice and extremely generous for a PT job, but money talks. Not trying to get into another wage discussion, just stating the truth. [/QUOTE]
