[QUOTE="Washburn, post: 225159, member: 10899"] I do realize that I lack in my experience both as an hourly and management employee at UPS affects how people view me, and I would agree with [U]aspenleaf[/U] about taking advice from someone who has a fraction of the experience that most do. Lack of experience is a definite problem in management, and you just don't hear of many PT supervisors that have been around for 10 or 15 years. Of course, their are some but in the short time that I have even worked for UPS we have had 3 new supervisors (not including me). Most of them are PT employees who have elected to move into management, and their are not the ones that have been around waiting to bid on jobs either. JustTired...I respect and appreciate your advice, and I will probably find that you are right. I whole-heartedly hope that you are not. Some where along the line I may hear that it is not in the best interest of the company to initiate this sort of "free thinking" (as you put it), but I feel like it is worth a shot. I do know that with this I will walk a fine line within the Union Contract and how the company handles things. I know that my Stewart is going to contact the District Union Rep. to see how he feels about something like this. Can anyone give me some insight on what I might expect to hear from the Union?
