re: whats your favorite quotes< sayings , etc at the barn

What the Hell happen yesterday????

The answer to this is: I can't remember. That was a 12 pack ago.

One of my favorites from a now retired driver:
"the hose goes in before the load goes out"
it's classic.

Supervisor yelling to unload: *"We need more wood on the belt!" *I have so many but that comes to mind.

 

[BrownHatt]

In my center drivers load their own package cars, because we are on a 12 route island with no preload. My supervisor is famous for shouting "BULK OUT; GET OUT" and "WHAT THE **** ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE" as you struggle to finish loading your truck before you leave the building at 11:35 or so. This place is not anything like a normal center.

Your doing a great job! ( while you are hearing the boxes screaming from getting crushed from the non stop endless stream of boxes that completely jam a sort table)

 

[OldManAllowance]

Some FT mgmt here in North Texas have some odd things they say.


Segment 1
"We need horses!" He's saying he needs hard workers. He's a rancher when he's not shouting at poor people.
"I need two horses in here right now!" when seeing that an unloader straight-up walked out of a trailer with a load that looked like a hurricane hit it
"This ain't no popcorn stand!" Anytime anyone is standing in one place, even if their job requires it, always.
"<worker name>, do you see that stack-out over there?" "Holy crap, that looks terrible." "I need you to go over to that truck and unf***it." "AWWWWWWW!"
"I like you, you're a horse." "Neiiighhhh!" "Horses don't talk!"
In regard to this supervisor who uttered the above statements, another worker and I were once in a truck working and making fun of his constant desire of horses (in all the worst ways), and when we finished the truck and turned around, he was there. He walked away in silence. We asked a worker who had been working at the door how long he had been there, and she told us he was there for the majority of the truck. He never did anything to us... given how management treats me these days, I was super lucky that day.

Segment 2
"Don't file this grievance."
"No. I am telling you not to file this grievance."
"If you file this grievance, I'm putting you back in small sort and you won't be getting your hours. I know you hate working in small sort."
"We'll be watching you. All it takes in ten occurrences."
"I don't like to write people up for coming in a minute late, but do that a few times and... you're out of here." I've called in probably three times in 8 months and they threaten grievance vengeance, with attendance... right.
"I think you're a great employee but I can't have you working in Irregs if you're gonna file on the supervisors working in irregs."

Segment 3
A new hire was asking me about the 8/5, while we were working, because the supervisor had been bothering him to learn the keys.
Me: "So the 5 keys are a little harder to remember, because you can't just perform it and say it as you do things, but we all remember an acronym-"
Supe: "<shouts my name>, PRODUCTION FIRST, SAFETY LAST."

 

[packageguy]

mine is "DIG IN ANd GET IT DONE"
anytime i hear that it automatically means over 9.5 for me $$

This week there saying call me at lunch, let me see if I can get you help. No help all week. Another good check coming this week, I laugh all the way to the bank..

 

['Lord Brown's bidding']

"Thank you for the good job getting it done last night!"

"Been looking good lately; Keep it up!"

"Sometimes I love you..." (Dispatch sup told me this not three weeks ago after I made room on my car to fit some large pieces for a bulk stop he didn't think was going to fit on my car and had cut to another driver's car)

I have also had a sup tell me this year "I am ashamed to be your sup! I am ashamed FOR YOU for your performance today" (had 20 stops done @ 2:15 when I called him, ended up with 93 or 97 at 8:00pm; by their numbers the next day, however, I wasn't even 20 mins over) Nonetheless, I prefer to let those-type comments roll off the back as they are made, and hold onto the gems like those above...

My least favorite quotes are those which refer to our buildings as barns. We are not farmers. We work in centers/hubs, not barns.

I do work out of a barn. When you are satellited in a rural area, in Americas Dairyland, you take what you can get!

This is a Teamster term harkening back to the days when teamsters drove teams of horses, and at the end of the day the horses were brought to the "barn" not a center or hub.

I know you love the Red Sox, but up here in Mass, we call them barns.

Take it or leave it.
