Stupid Supervisor Awards..

[soberups]

The problem they have with firing supervisors is that it reflects badly upon whoever hired them. That is why they find it preferable to either transfer or promote them instead, that way they can just move the problem elsewhere. The exception to this is when the supervisor in question is in his early 50's and approaching the point where he is eligible to retire with company-paid medical benefits until qualifying for Medicare. There is big money to be saved by whacking a guy just before he qualifies for the medical, you figure a minimum of $1.2 K per month for a COBRA thats almost $15K per year for the 7 years between retirement and Medicare at 62, it comes to around a $100K difference for the company over that time period. Pretty big incentive to whack 'em early.....

It is Sunday, Kinda bored and could use some laughs.. We all have had a mindless supervisor in our careers at UPS.. Here is one that I can throw out there for a few laughs...OK a co-worker (female) went to see a center manager after her day of delivering.. I can not recall what was said between the two, but this guy followed her into the ladies restroom and whipped out his johnson and shook it at her..TRUE story... She screamed of course.. the next day, she reported this to Corp.. they showed up, and the center manager admitted to doing this (cant believe he did not fib) needless the say this center manager who had a decent amount of time there was escorted out the gate..This is no BS, true story of a Stupid Sup...

Are you in the Midwest? I remember a very similar story a few years back.

We have a new district manager at our hub, and he questioned me on why I was stacking out the tires.(some are 3000 pal labeled, and the rest are RDR). I replied, some of them are going to this warehouse while the rest are going to the car dealership. He responded with, no tires that get shipped through UPS, ever go to a car dealership. Why on earth would they need one for? My driver ended up over hearing this, and the look on his face was pretty priceless, as he shakes his head, saying NOW i've heard it all. Haha.

Ah some good stories here, sadly I can't contribute else it would be even more obvious who I am at my location.

Though I've gotta ask is it the same at other locations where anyone who is recently departed from UPS any mugshots of them get posted in the feeder office?

I know a sup who hit everything then got promoted to feeders !! His head was so far up the center manager's he told me that the center manager was a genius and was as a great a man if not greater than Vince Lombardi !!! can't make this stuff up !!

Two of our supervisors got caught smoking a spliff in the break area with an hourly. The hourly still works there.

Again, I kid you not, these people's (center manager, DM range ops management) IQ's are significantly lower than the general popuation.
