[QUOTE="turdburglar, post: 1035603, member: 41722"] Indeed, I have worked there for 5 years. I am not making it a career, however, as I am going to school. As I said before, I knew that this was a dangerous game when I started filing grievances. Honestly, the harassment does not bother me. It is actually somewhat entertaining. My full-time supervisor blamed me when one of my drivers drove off without letting me put a bulk stop in his truck. I asked her how it was my fault, and she just kept yelling at me. In the end, I just said "alright", shrugged my shoulders, and smiled. She turned and walked away, since she knew that I was not screwing up or getting angry like she expected. I think that in the future, whenever she yells at me, I will just shrug and smile. The fact is that I am not doing anything wrong, and that is as much as the preload manager can gather as well. I asked him if he thought I was doing a fair day's work, and he said that he believed so. He actually asked to meet with me at the end of the sort today, and I did. He basically said that he will tell his supervisors to stop working, and that he will use the established local practices to ensure that no supervisors are working. He also said that he will watch me for a longer period of time to find out why I cannot meet the production standard of 4 packages a minute, and that as far as he could tell, there was nothing wrong with the speed I was working at or the methods that I was using. He could simply be trying to appease me, but he did seem sincere. I only told him that I would continue working at the pace I had been working at, and that I would continue to file supervisors working grievances if I or one of my witnesses sees it happen. He did, however, vaguely imply that I could be disciplined for not being able to meet production standards. We will see what he determines is wrong with the way that I am loading. As far as I can gather, it is nothing, just that I am not loading as fast as they want me to. [/QUOTE]
