Sup says I’m not working fast enough

[Feduppreloader]

Any suggestions on what to do if sup constantly says That “I need to sort faster” or “I’m missing too many packages.” I’ve been on preload for two years and have been in the same spot for most of that time. People constantly tell me that I should quite stressing about it, cause they can’t fire you for being too slow. But I wanted to get y’alls input
thanks!

Stop worrying about it and let more stuff go by. Work safely and at a consistent speed. If they don't like it, oh well. They'll either move you or deal with it.

Been telling me that for 40+years. I'm still working. Consider this.

Work faster.

 

[Mr. Marshall]

You now if you are lazy and if you are work a bit faster and if you are truly working hard then ignore them.

 

[UnionGuy]

I'd go super slow and show the supervisor what going slow really looks like. Just ignore the supervisor, if you feel it's only you that they're picking on, file an Article 37 grievance. Just ignore them and follow the methods.

Article 37 Section 1 of the Master should tell you all you need to know about this situation.

2 years and you are still concerned....

Good luck

Drivers are with you, no one wants a fast handed sorter that leads to a ty misloaded truck. An other sup that quit school in 6th grade probably.

Only thing that should matter is low mistakes!

tell your supervisor he isn’t working fast enough...

You've been here long enough to know they dont give a about you, just you getting the job done. If it were up to them, you'd be gone. Pay your dues, work at a safe pace that you can handle without feeling like trash at the end of the day and if they demand more output, demand a steward. You cannot be fired for not getting injured but you can file an article 37 grievance for harassment. Also, slow down. Chances are you are probably already working way above what you should be working at and could benefit yourself by working slower.

What do you mean?

Read your contract and figure it out.

 

[SorryLazyPOS]

Who cares. Yeah they’ll keep bugging you. But you’re paid by the hour. Go slower.

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

Or Don't read your contract and let them harass you. You probably didn't vote on the last contract anyway.

This is why PT employees should have their own union.

They just screw it up for the FT workforce.
