[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 169506"] you do realize the the reason for that OT crap is often poor planning by management (aside from weather conditions and Peak). I should say poor planning by management's management. Rushing people off the clock won't gain you any friends where it counts (your workers are responsible for how well your day goes like it or not). Besides the fact that you were a union worker and went management will cause your fellow brothers to think differently of you as it is. I too am considering management, mostly because I want to go back to school and finish the second degree that I started and secondly I think supervisors should have experience in the operation...not be hired off the street. The rumor went around that I was interested in it (I didn't say anything to anyone...so someone above me let the cat out of the bag for me) and everyone is like NO DON'T DO IT and giving me the semi cold shoulder. I don't know if they're just teasing me or not, but in my opinion, if this place is to get better or whatnot the right people need to be promoted. I feel I am the right person for this. Actually I am waiting to take the MAPP test. I already know where I am likely to work should I accept the promotion. This is mainly a stepping stone (I hope) as there is a communications supervisor job that I want because it will use my degree. I have nothing against tossing boxes, but I didn't go to college for that. Once again, no insult intended to anyone who currently does so, I know its a tough job and I've been doing it for over two years as well so I definitely respect the hard work. the only thing that is hangin me up is the fact that I may have to shave my goatee. I know that seems trivial but hey I like the damn thing and I am an inside worker and still would be even if a PT Supe. I am clean shaven other than that everyday (and it too is kept trimmed and neat lol) . I've seen people with mustaches so maybe that isn't so I dunno. Most places if you go into a position with some sort of facial hair you can keep it (I don't mean fuzz, I mean a goatee or mustache), but if you don't have any you can't have any after the promotion either. Besides my head is shaved, thats gotta count for something :wink: However if the pay is a deal more than my current wage I may not worry about that even if I do have to get rid of it. [/QUOTE]
