.... He then starts to ask me safety questions while we're driving and I asked him whether this was a performance ride or safety ride and his answer was both. It's what we call a blended ride-safety and performance. I told him, i'd never heard of such a ride and wasn't comfortable answering safety questions while being focused on performance and that i'm not refusing to answer the safety questions and would be glad to stop the car and answer any questions if we code it off for safety..... and asked me if i'd take my break back at the bld'g. I told him i'd consider it, but I don't really like taking my 10 minute paid break at the center. .......... We get to 7/11, I go to grab my wallet and there is an NDA we had picked up about 7 hours earlier that we'd both forgotten about, so I tell him we gotta go catch the air shuttle. ..... He gets out and calls a pt sup over. The pt sup comes over and my OJS says I want you to witness me giving him a direct order to back his truck into the bld'g, take his break on road, then put in his RTB time after his break is up and then punch out. ............. He hands me the keys and tells me to back the truck into the bldg. I'm about 40-50 feet away from my normal spot so I wasn't gonna unecessarily back up that far, so I went forward, pulled out around 2 parked cars in the lot and pulled back in so I could do my sight-side back, I then backed my car into the bld'g and shut it off and punched out for break. I ended up going to take a piss and when I came back out, my steward pulled in from his route. I still had several minutes of break left, so I went out to ask him if the sup could order me to not get fuel when our center manager always tells us to fuel up at night. He told me yes and that the sup is just a dick when he's on a performance ride, trust me, i've had plenty from him. All of a sudden, the sup comes out and tells me my break is up, I look at my diad and it shows I have a minute left, so tell him I have aminute left. He then gets all red in the face and tells my steward that were gonna have a talk. My break was up so I go back in the center and during the 10 min. break a car washer had backed in a car right next to the passenger side of my car. I hadn't yet post tripped my truck so I jumped in the drivers seat to get my dvir, and I started the truck so I could pull to the left a little bit so i'd be able to give the passenger side a lookover............. He says YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO POST TRIP YOUR TRUCK AT YOUR LAST STOP OR WHILE YOU'RE FUELING YOUR CAR.
I edited this for brevity... but there's still a lot here. Most people agree that there's usually three sides to an argument, yours, his and then there's the truth somewhere in the middle. Well, after distilling down your last two posts and taking only your words let's see where we stand.
1. He asks safety questions during what he calls a blended ride. By your questioning you've had safety rides and have answered safety questions while driving, but here you refuse to do as your supv asked. You instead will do so only with your conditions. Here's a hint.. you're not the boss. You do as instructed so long as it's not illegal or unsafe. Asking safety questions is not unsafe or illegal. You can't dictate your own terms on an OJS ride. You're job is to be a service provider and to be safe and productive at the same time each day, so it's not as if you can be only one or the other. If you think it is incorrect, you can always grieve it later.
2. He asked you to take break back at building. This is within your contractual rights of when to take break. Instead of just saying Yes I will, or no I won't.. you have to play games and say I'll think about it. Nothing wrong... just something to get him upset.
3. You mention the NDA you had both forgotten about. He's the OJS supervisor at that point. The package is your responsibility, and you came close to missing service on the pkg because you forgot about it, and luckily found it while taking a break. Fortunately you caught it, but that's part of a progressive turnin knowing what you have for pickups and when you have to make the air meet points.
4. While back at building he pulls another supv over to witness a direct order. Seems to me he did that since you have a habit of not following his directions immediately, which you freely admitted to earlier. I find it hard to believe he would do that if this wasn't past practice on your part.
5. Post tripping... when the supv instructed you to back in...take break and punch out. You should have done the post trip immediately. You and he both know it should be done on last stop or fueling. But you had planned on fueling and that hadn't happened, so you should have done it immediately thereafter vs needing to get back in car again to fill out DVIR. Also, immediately after there would have been no issues with other cars blocking you.
I'm not saying the supv was perfect, and according to you he was far from it.... but all I know about him is what you said which may or may not be correct. If he said I held doors open for you to speed you up, or if he said I took the key off the key ring and placed in bulkhead lock then I would chastise him for doing things outside of the methods. But I'm just using your own words and pointing out where you weren't 100% in the right. At best what you said is 100% right and you still show some lapses in judgement.
I've had bosses in mgmt that I totally disagreed with and were wrong (in my opinion).. But at same time I had to realize he's the boss, I do what he says. I wouldn't if it is illegal or unethical or unsafe etc. But if he made a bad decision, as a mgmt person I'd suggest an alternative, but if he said just do it.. I just did it. As an hourly, you need to understand what your job responsibilities are, and to work as directed. If you don't like it.. Opt into mgmt and get promoted to the point you can make a change. If you don't want to do that.. Then do what you are instructed to do. WORK AS DIRECTED.
