Colby works for an international freight shipping company. In fact he is the dock supervisor. Every morning he wakes up at 3:00 a.m. and eats breakfast. He has the Dock unlocked and ready for the first truck at 3:30 a.m. Colby supervises 24 loaders who fill delivery trucks with packages for specific routes. He also supervises 2 unloaders who put the packages from the incoming semis on the belt where they travel to be pulled and placed on delivery trucks. The loading begins at 4:00 a.m. and ends at 9:00 a.m. Monday through Friday. He then says goodbye to management and locks up the Dock. Colby then goes home and showers and travels an hour to attend his college classes. He carries a full load. After classes he heads home, eats a meal, and heads back up to his job where he opens the dock at 6:00 p.m. and unloads delivery trucks with 3 other workers until 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, at which point he sends everyone home and locks up. He heads home and goes to bed and is up at 3:00 a.m. to start a new work day.

Colby does a good job and his record reflects that he is an efficient supervisor. Packages get delivered correctly on a pace that is unprecedented. He has 3 immediate supervisors, the Hub manager, the outbound manager, and the inbound manager. All three are salaried employees. Colby is an hourly wage earner. He makes $8:50 an hour. The managers usually let Colby take care of all dock procedures and rarely venture outside of their offices, although they do converse with Colby frequently and hold meetings with all employees on safety practices. Colby was promoted from a package handler 2 years ago due to his outstanding work ethic and was given keys to the Dock and told his new responsibilities.

A month ago, management sent Colby down to the Region office to interview with region management in order to get a title promotion and switch him to salary. Despite Colbys qualifications and history, they decided to keep things the way they were and continue to pay him hourly. Interestingly, the company has a policy that all non-management employees may only work 25 hours a week. This ownership decision was mostly to do with 25 hours being the cutoff for employee options for insurance and profit sharing. Colby works well over 25 hours a week and is not management. His paycheck each week actually shows he worked 25 hours and he is payed the rest by local management in Wal-Mart gift cards. Colby accepted this arrangement (unofficially) because he loves his job and thought he could make a great career here.

Interestingly enough, Colby had been training the Hub Managers brother-in-law to be the dock supervisor when Colby moved up to management. A week after Colby was denied the promotion, the brother-in-law went for an interview down at Hub and was granted the promotion to be the new freight manager at Colbys Dock. The Dock cannot operate efficiently without him. What should Colby do?
