[QUOTE="hubrat, post: 1311439, member: 869"] They are over allowed, and Their integrity is shot. Thursday a big wig was here discussing drivers who are "over allowed" with the division manager, center managers, and other sups while us hourlies worked our butts off to service the customer and keep management off our backs. I know of at least one sup who was absent from said meeting bc they were out running a route. Related or not, Friday a.m. Sups were loading cars and at least one was driving a metal train. Thursday evening in the city where this particular member of management traveled from to pow-wow about "over allowed" a driver ran over and killed a small engine cyclist. We were told of this Friday by management. Of course there is no mention of this in the media that I can find. This on top of two intersection tier 3s in our area in the last couple of weeks, also not publicized. I know one in which the driver was found not at fault was still deemed avoidable by the company and from what I know, IMO, was probably avoidable. IMO the driver's actions, though ultimately his responsibility, were a result of the stress caused by the company's unrealistic expectations. Around my elbow to get you-know-where bc I am so angry and incredulous that it makes me shake. If you know anything about what's going on and you're not mad, you're not really paying attention or you just don't care. I like a lot of the new tech. Some of it does make parts of my job easier so I can focus on safety. BUT THEIR NUMBERS ARE UNREALISTIC!!! Dare I say a majority of us who are within allowed limits, running scratch or even bonus are coming in early working off the clock and sorting during our lunches. And we're still working until 7 and 8 pm and later. I am dreading the implementation of Orion in our center because of the likely negative effect on customer service and the bickering between management & drivers it may cause. I welcome it because I fully intend to show up at my start time and relax for an hour +10 during the day and run as close to 100% as I can. From what I understand, the only decisions I will have to make will be related to safety. If it takes me 20 minutes to get to a package on the 6000 shelf, so be it. I won't hurt myself doing it. If Big O sends me through the worst traffic conditions at the worst possible times and this blows my planned day, good. More $ in my pocket. I'm tired of sweating the stress they cause with their selfish and simplistic math. Their integrity is shot and mine will remain intact. G-d help me for posting this. [/QUOTE]
