Today's PCM: You will be fired....

[bleedinbrown58]

At our center PCM this morning...our center manager told us failure to follow instructions and work as directed will result in immediate termination. All loaders must use crayons to write HIN #s. No peeling stickers. Two loaders balked, argued and said they weren't going to do it because it takes too long (I agree with them). Both guys were walked out the
door. Way to drop the hammer _____ Center.

Let the misloads begin.

 

[Nimnim]

And the firings will stick. . .

Let the misloads begin.

They flat out said they dont care if it increases misloads. The Division Manager wants it done this way...and we are expected to WAD.

And the firings will stick. . .

One will be back...I'd bet my next paycheck on it. The other guy will be used as a cautionary tale.

WAD is the simplest part of working here.

Slow down. Write nice neat numbers don't have misloads. When the drivers are there 45 minutes loading their trucks it'll all go back to normal.

What ever happened to progressive discipline? I knew a new manager that came in with a hard on to fire people and pulled similar BS about not stacking packages out behind package cars. Despite the fact that would mean the loaders wouldn't be able to walk into the cars to load them. He made an example of a couple of loaders then everything quietly went back to normal. Those loaders did get their jobs back but had to go through hearings first.

Exactly...I don't agree with their policy but I cannot afford to sit home for a month because of a pissing match with my center manager.

Everything is a cardinal sin now.....lol

We write the Hin numbers on Packages. We don't have many mis-loads. Stop whining and do your job.

Who the friend is whining? My job is always done...thanks for the advice though.

Plus he probably has a lot better aim than u. Unless of course a PT sup just left the office.

Our center tried this a while back. It was an epic failure.

Not a good idea to look your Center Manager in the eyes and tell him no I am not going to do what you just told me to do. What else could he do at that point?

 

[Wally]

Why fight it? Work slow and as directed. Enjoy the ensuing mess that will surely happen.

When the neighbor girl gives you the nickname of "fat kid". You improvise.

Sent them home.....written them up...suspended them.

Did he send them home before they actually did any work? This is what may get them their jobs back.

As far as I know yes. When the PCM ended...they were outside the office with our steward talking to the Preload Manager..they were walked out at some point after.
