[QUOTE="brown67, post: 122317, member: 5457"] We have an OMS who always says she was a driver. Found out later she drove airs on Saturday. One summer can't begin to to lay a foundation as a driver. I worked my tail off at first, skipped break, ran, etc only to have management keep adding more and more work. Finally had to slow down, take breaks, and file 9.5 grievances. Boy did management change their strips. I was told I was lazy, didn't do my job right, and that I was a bad christian (long story). I just kept asking for a ride along so management could show we how to improve. They never did do it, and they moved along to the next poor slob they could abuse. Its amazing what happens when you put the ball in their court. If my numbers aren't good and a sup is riding me, I just ask them to run my route and I'll see how they do it. I've never had one take me up on it, because they know the numbers are screwed and they can't do it better than me. It's sad, but the only way you can protect yourself from management is to be a bit of a jerk. I'm not that way at home, but at work I am. Like this week. Put in for an 8 hour last Thursday, approved last Friday and then Monday they try to deny it. I say no way. They say sorry, but it was full. I say too bad and I'm filing a grievance and I called the union business agent too. They say never mind we'll work it out. I've been around for 16 years (13 driving) and I would never go into management. I've seen too many have nervous break downs, heart attacks, alcoholics, fired for dishonesty and it goes on and on. The majority of supervisors I've had over the last 16 years have quit, been fired, had break downs, or took the buy out a few years ago. Very few make it more than 10 years. [/QUOTE]
