Losers

Boy,I really hate two of the losers I have to supervise. I get complaint calls every day telling me they never return phone calls and their voicemails are full. They don't do what I tell them. They are never going to get promoted and worse they will never leave.
I would write them up,except it would do no good. My boss is a no balls wimp that never backs me up,so its no use.
One of the losers complains to the boss that I don't let him close files. Well,duh! He doesn't do his job so his files are not ready to close. The boss told me I should tell the loser what I expect. I told the boss I expect the idiot to do his job! How hard is it to do what you are told? When I was an adjuster I always did everything my supervisor told me to do. I guess that is why I'm a supervisor and they are still loser adjusters. I have been with the company 15 years and one of the loses has been there longer than me. Just pathetic!

Are you being clear?

I'm wondering, if ALL of the "losers" you supervise have the same problems, it may be systemic and something you could address or remedy, as a supervisor that is your job. I'm not saying that you don't have a point or that your complaints are not valid, I'm sure they are. If you have done the same job they are now doing and advanced, then obviously you know what is involved. So don't get me wrong, I am not getting at you for voicing your feelings.
The morale may be low and maybe thats normal for your industry or your particular environment. Or maybe they are a bunch of pooch screwers who just don't want to work too hard, but somehow I doubt that. You may have to look a bit deeper. It doesn't sound like you have any support from your boss either.

Poor performance - No pay raise

If you are their supervisor you should have an impact to their pay, yes?

Then when review time comes, you can make it clear their increase was low or non-existent because of their poor performance, back it up with documented cusromer complaints....maybe that will make a difference

You have no other recourse because killing them is not an option. I think.
