I will preface this with the fact that this guy is very immature, friends with the current supervisor (a new supervisor is taking over next week.) He constantly has his tablet watching games on the shop floor while we are actively working, meanwhile others will be singled out for having phones out while there is down time. not wearing ppe properly and he has even blocked my car in several times at the end of the shift when it is time to go home.
