Your UPS management team

[upschuck]

So your belief is that because he knew and applied the methods, he was a good sup?

That is one of many other things that make a good sup. Are you trying to say that they should not do what they are instructing their subordinates to do. That us probably the fastest way to lose your people

I could be brainwashed.
I use to complain 25 - 30 years ago about the poor quality of some of the on-car supervisors and almost every time the reply was - "He was the best driver in the center".
The MAPP process has taken care of that kind of stupidity over the years.

What are the traits you think make a good on-road?

Started as a preloader a long time ago. I was excited to be working for this company. I was talked into becoming a Preload Supervisor. Back then it was a more thankless job, than it is today. I was planning on becoming a Car Supervisor after driving for 30 days. After 2 years of being treated as the lowest form of life, I swore that if I went driving, I would never leave. Still driving.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

You are correct, the best drivers on paper make poor management for a reason.

This is not necessarily true.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Don't you just love how since we wear uniforms, have short hair & little facial hair, & our DIAD clocks are military time some think UPS is all military.? Not even close!

Did you serve?

A more thankless job then now? Is that even possible?

I adveraged 40 to 45 hours a week and was paid a salary based on 25 hours. Drove packages that were left in the building to drivers. Adveraged 200+ miles a week with no compensation. The preload supervisors (part time and full time) was berated every morning by the Center Manager on how incompetent we were. Was past over to go driving 5 times (3 to 1 back then) because the Center Manager did not want to lose me. I have never truly hated anybody in my life until then. I still plan on pissing and dancing on his grave.

99 % of this statement I agree with. However I've had a couple of sups over the years that were really good at driving. They were also very good at standing behind the drivers when a situation called for it. Any wonder they no longer work here? They had too much of a conscience to stay.

100% of this statement I agree with.

We just recently promoted a pt preload sup to become a full-time on road sup. This is the same person who got disqualified in his 30-day driving packet to become a TCD less than a year ago. Amazing how the UPS mind works. He can't do the job himself, but he can tell me how to do the same job.

Wow,

Almost the same as Pete Carrol and the Super Bowl winning Seattle Seahawks !!

We had a (female?) PT sup who looks very much like this person.

HA!

No, my point was that he was a good sup who was also a really good driver in response to the previous theme of the thread that most sups couldn't do the job. Some can do it well.
