[QUOTE="soberups, post: 805059, member: 14668"] My job as a driver is to manage the day-to-day business of my route by delivering and picking up my customers packages in the safest and most efficient manner possible. If I managed my route as effectively as my superiors manage the day-to-day operation of the center, [B]I would have been fired a long time ago.[/B] On an ongoing basis I see operational decisions being made that cost the company many tens of thousands of dollars in lost productivity, wasted time, duplication of effort and service failures. These issues will in all likelihood [I]never[/I] be corrected. But should I[I] ever[/I] fail to live up to the standards that are expected of me as a driver, even by the [I]smallest[/I] amount, there will be [I]no end[/I] to the documentation, the discipline, the threats to my job and the condescending lectures about the importance of "being competitive" and providing "service" to the customer. I make good money and I have no problem with being held accountable to very high standards of performance. But I [I]do[/I] have a problem being held to that standard by people who couldn't even come[I] close[/I] to living up to it themselves. [/QUOTE]
