The average day for a PT supervisor?

[bleedinbrown58]

Play nice!

I was defending Beernut...he's cool. I said nothing that isn't true. I can be a b*tch...but a slut?? Not a chance.

average day hmm. print over 1000 pages of reports that only get looked at when the full timer knows the center manager is gonna chew his ass after the dm chewed the center manager's ass after the ops manager got some of the dm's ass, spend the rest of the day wondering why you ever bothered to go part time as people hired in after you go driving for 33 dollars an hour.

That $3/hr might help right now, but you'll be receiving sub-$.30 raises/year rather than the $0.70-$1.00 raises a year a bargaining unit member would have. PT Supervisors also don't receive a pension (like PT'ers do) and have far inferior health benefits.

Also, chew on this: if they're asking guys with less than 3 months experience to go into supervision, why aren't the guys that have been there 5-10+ years jumping at it?

I've heard through the grapevine that UPS was starting PT sups who are essentially new hires at $18/hour. I thought it was BS but on my colleges' job search website, UPS is recruiting PT supervisors and lists the salary as "$18 to start, increasing up to $20 after 6 months." That's nearly double of what an hourly would make.

Double the pay to count shovel loads as opposed to digging the shovel loads. Sounds right to me.

18 an hour my ass unless your in a hole like new york city

I've also heard pt supervisors starting as high as $18 an hour at my hub. Well, two guys I know got promoted and are only making $14.70.

Don't go into part time supervisor. Expected to the the job of hourlys and higher up management for Pay and worse benefits

I definitely do not work in NYC or anything comparable.

This past spring a young girl who had just hired in went into PT supervision and soon after her two friends -- who had been here since peak -- joined her, telling others they were earning $18/hour. I snickered at it, but a UPS job posting on my college's career website very clearly lists PT supervision positions as starting at $18/hour. It really isn't any of my business what a PT supervisor makes, but a loader making $10/hour interested in management and being offered a PT supervisor position at $18/hour should really consider it, contrary to other advice.

Does the $18/hr still include $2,600/semester tuition reimbursement?

 

[TxRoadDawg]

Yea still got thr reimbursement for now

In my building PT sups start at $14.xx/hr.

Hazmat recertification...in the beginning of the sort...they're cramming it down our throats...my PT sup hands me my Hazmat test. Tells me I have to do it now...don't touch another package till I finish. So, I ask....aren't we supposed to watch a video first (same as every year). I wanna get paid to watch it...friend them. No, we don't do that anymore...and he hands me a piece of paper with all the test answers...lol. Really? Wonder if they do that to the newbies too..

Write on the paper. "I was given the answer,no training given"

That will catch someone's attention!

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

You know damn well,your sup coded you out for training.

Of course! We're supposed to come in early and get paid to watch a video and take the stupid test..where's my money??

I should've! I didnt think about it at the time...just didn't want to fall too far behind.

Usually they won't start you early for that training. Just have you do it at your normal start time which puts you behind in your work.

This may be true for the preload but we (drivers) start an hour early for hazmat training.
