[QUOTE="magoo57, post: 295327, member: 4661"] Pinky and the belt: As I have done both the load as well as the preload for more years than i care to remember, let me ask you some questions: FIRST, What is she doing wrong? Is it purely a production number? Too many misloads? Does she need help on too many 50-70 lb. packages? Let's get specific. SECOND, What is she doing right? As the training management video states, catch the person doing something right and compliment the person on this. Your boss is showing great ethics in trying to convert this lady into a productive worker. Not all managers have such scruples and would try to pawn off mistakes. Besides, it is illegal to place all the women in one position such as small sort. THIRD, Is she ready for work? I once had to try to train a female loader who had 2 inch long 'done' nails. She didn't last a week. Does she stretch? Does she know her numbers from the day before? Has she given you a verbal committment to improve one tiny thing in today's performance from yesterday's? FOURTH,Are you controlling when the cavalry comes riding in to save the day?Can she stay afloat 15 more minutes today than yesterday? Lastly,[I][U]ARE YOU PREPARED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP AS HER SUPERVISOR? Are you willing to start saying"She is one of [B]MY[/B]people and by God, I will stand behind her and support her---and NOT try to pawn her off to another department"?[/U][/I] So who am I to ask you this? I once had the belt that the DM looked up the figures and he told me-At the time I had the highest percentage of single mothers working on a belt in the entire southeast. My ladies had such high production numbers that everyone in all shifts in my state were fighting for second place. And I once had a short, frumpy, over-weight ,middle-aged lady who was my preloader and several times she wanted to quit. I never told her anything but how proud I was to have her and how she did one more thing right, that she lasted 20 more minutes before the flow wallopped her.She ended up being a monster preloader until.... she became a preload supervisor.
