I'm gonna be a shift supervisor

In my department, supervisors are hired from the same pool as the janitors and don't even need high school diplomas.

 

And yet you're not a supervisor, and that's all that matters here.

Janitorial supervisor?  >:D

It's not uncommon for there to be a supervisor assigned specifically to a janitor crew, at least larger staffs or operations.

 

Not really sure what's funny about it aside from the fact that Packie thought "other janitors get to supervise the janitors" was a groundbreaking revelation.

That wasn't his point though. I think by department he was referring not to janitors but to casinos. If shift managers there are similar to where I work, they are in charge of a wide variety of concepts. Despite this, they are indeed usually from the same hiring pool as all other hourly positions. In other words, he was just trying to be an ass about my being promoted for whatever stupid reason.

Been offered the job twice and turned it down.  Too many hours and not nearly enough money.

 

Too many hours and not enough money? Shift supervisors are typically paid by the hour and get overtime. You aren't a salaried manager ffs.

While I suspect he meant it to be taken how you interpreted it, I'm willing to bet the reality is strictly janitors getting promoted to supervise janitors.

Probably. I can't imagine a janitor being given a supervisory position like he's suggesting.

We had one who didn't know what "man hours" are or how to calculate them for projects.  When they had paperwork to do, they threw everything at the secretaries... and the secretaries ended up making the business decisions.  It's crazy.  HR has mountains of applications and resumes for supervisory positions and they'll hire anybody who fits the profile without looking at education or experience.  I was offered the job twice because I get the work done consistently, correctly and on schedule.  They think I can convince others to do the same.  Fact is, I can't make a worker out of somebody who thinks a job is just another place to "hang".
