[QUOTE="Whither, post: 4108264, member: 76643"] Sounds about right ha. My center mgr took an interesting approach -- couldn't believe spent a good 75 minutes with me -- and at one point even went so far as to say: "If [I]I [/I]ask you to do anything unsafe, or anything contrary to company policy, there's a level higher than me." While I'm no greenhorn, it was wild to hear this. Mgr even did more than just strongly hint at over-dispatching. Throughout our long sit-down stressed safety and the methods -- area knowledge will come (of course). Told me about various accidents: collisions, debilitating injuries from years of careless work habits. Said there's no pkg worth risking anyone's life or health. Music to my ears. Here's what I think after 4 months in the same (yes: relatively easier, but no piece of cake) job. There's no need to cut corners. Hone safe methods. When driving, drive. When delivering, deliver. When using your strength and agility, use it as though you're going to have to keep using it 25 years from now. Scratch is the company's problem. I have no doubt about my work ethic, my ability to organize, navigate, hustle when it's safe to do so, drive with great caution. It's just a matter of paying attention, giving a damn for yourself. The rest is competence. Some days there's no scratching unless you're willing to take stupid risks. At Amazon, those were the days I was 'over-allowed'. Most days I was in the ballpark over or under, while taking all my breaks. But if they threw me blind on a heavy, difficult route, fine, I brought it in late and in one piece. [/QUOTE]
