[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1085831, member: 32753"] Not just about getting paid by the hour; it is (for me) learning the rules of the game and living so you can keep getting paid by the hour. For better or worse, we are in a numbers game now, aggravated more by telematics and the sheer number of ways they can measure our performance. Many "tricks" are now outright illegal; this is not, and the only ones who'd get in trouble are those who already have a target, like management wanted them gone yesterday. A similar "rules infraction"-but in no way dishonest-is delivering ground with airs. We have clear instructions, but most senior guys still do it; I've seen a division manager chastised a driver doing that; I remember thinking how could she be so disconnected. However, that drover wasn't suspended, and I doubt got much more than a warning to the effect of 'Be careful. Don't make any mistakes because they are watching'. It is a numbers game even more for our immediate supes and mgrs: they need us to get credit for our work as much as we do. Like I said, I ain't above the law; I have a healthy fear of it, but I am not afraid of it. [/QUOTE]
