[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 691604, member: 10234"] The reason for having unattainable standards is that it keeps those drivers on "bonus" from ever achieving it. It also keeps those in management from attaining their bonus. Wouldn't it be more honest to just suspend all bonus pay? Not doing so just creates a climate of cheating and manipulation that skews the numbers and keeps them from ever being a meaningful measurement. Having to cheat and manipulate just to keep your job is no way to go through life. With all of the delivery standards that are in place (COD allowances, mileage, pkg allowance, weather,etc.), what good are they when drivers are being held to the metric of SPORH? That measurement doesn't take into consideration any of the for-mentioned standards. This is like trying to apply an assembly line-type standard to a job that is anything but. No two stops are the same. The same stop isn't the same two days in a row. UPS drivers should be held to a high standard. But, in my opinion, that standard should have more to do with integrity and honesty than how many SPORH they can achieve. There are better ways to measure an employees worth. And the cost-savings to the company, while maybe not as apparent, can be many-fold to an arbitrary number. JMO [/QUOTE]
