[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 816202, member: 5485"] There is also the idea of maintaining a level of dissent from driver to driver which is quite useful to the company. If you are working next to someone who never "quite measures up to the standard" it's natural to expect some alienation in the relationship. Oh yes, there is a teamwork strategy that is encouraged, but that just intensifies the gap between the haves and the have nots. Anytime there can be a built in strategy to make the cohesion of the driver unit less uniform,then it is an easy thing to separate, retrain and discipline individuals who do not meet the "standard". Who wants to help and support a driver who is consistently 1 to 2 hours out, if the belief being circulated is that "they brought it on themselves", when in reality it can't possibly be the answer to every over allowed driver. My manager works hard at, and is skillful at, defining the element that binds the driver unit together such as supporting a driver who is the subject of a production 'crisis', and selectively cherry picking off the weaker more timid drivers of the group who will not stand up for themselves let alone an alleged "heel dragger", thereby weakening the base on which the brotherhood and sisterhood stands. Oh yes, there is reasoning behind the plan. This is just another one. [/QUOTE]
