[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1010802, member: 14668"] Doing the right thing means being [B]honest[/B]. The center didnt "fix" the issue of 80% pickup compliance on that route, they just stuck a BandAid of dishonesty over it. Actually "fixing" the issue is straightforward; its called being [B]honest[/B] and accepting the [I]reality [/I]that "80% pickup compliance" on that particular route is not realistic. "80%" is just an arbitrary number that they want to see in order to look good on a report. It doesnt mean anything. It doesnt matter. If you are "stirring up the water" simply by being [B]honest[/B] about the time you actually make the pickups, then it sounds to me like the water in[I] that[/I] particular pitcher is bad and needs to get poured down the drain. Why the hell should[I] you[/I] feel obligated to [B]lie [/B]so that your manager can look better on a meaningless report? If you need to get home for a family function and you choose to skip your lunch...then be [B]honest[/B] about it. Reasonable people can debate and disagree over whether or not it is OK to skip your lunch...but[I] no[/I] reasonable person would argue that you should [B]lie[/B] about it. Whatever choice you make...[I]tell the truth[/I]. Same deal with showing up early and pulling misloads prior to start time. I personally think it is a [I]great[/I] idea to go thru your car and pull out the misloads before leaving in the AM....[I]as long as you are on the clock when you are doing it. [/I]Why should you have to [B]lie[/B] about it? If you are doing the work, you should get paid for it. The bottom line is simple; a management person that respects you and has your best interests at heart would not ask or encourage you to falsify a timecard so that he can look better on a meaningless report. Being honest is always the right thing. [/QUOTE]
