Yeah management isn't pitting you against anyone except the new guy they failed to train properly. And then they got you to yell at him to make him go faster. When he has an accident though, you will not bat an eye.
Don't Work Harder Because It Is Peak

- Start date
Doesn't sound like it if hypothetically loosing one guy causes you to go on the internet and post about how people shouldn't spend time with their kids.
There is that adequate staffing in action!
We call them losers here. Sadly we have a couple 25 year losers in my center. The guys are the angriest people on Earth.

You should have. They have been paying people here to use their garage during peak for the past 8 years that I know of. 400 a month.
Well, I guess that helped.

Rentals are cool but I feel like a scum bag driving one...like I work for FedEx or something.
If I was him I would have given you an extra 10-15 stops even if I was new.......told you to kiss my *ss.....and have fun delivering.......and come find me in 24 hours to help again.
No need here to try and get fired.......I get texted before I even drive in asking if I want the day off......and yes.......during peak too!!

Man last year was my first peak and i have been dreading it all year lol i still don't get why they don't give you half the load organized then go back to the building or have an on road bring the second half later in the day it would be WAY more efficient. i spent at least 8 hours of my day just trying to get enough stuff off to restack my truck so i could start cooking but by then i only have like 3 hrs until i have to go back to the building and spend a good hour scanning missed packages and then my lunch and break. i also didn't realize all the guys were working their 14 hrs they kept sending messages to get off the clock at 12.5 hrs so friday i would have hours while everyone else had 8 hr days on friday lol rookie mistakes.. mon-thurs this year I'm working the max hours so i can go home at 5-6 friday..
He must have alot of hobbies and things to do outside UPS

This is while he was still an active employee.

So you finally respond like an adult and not with some sarcastic BS, it's about time. Anyway, this guy was trained the same way all of us were trained. The split route he needed help on is done by all sorts of different cover drivers with none of them needing help. Yet he needed help 3 days in a row. It's not like he was out blind or something. I dont know why you keep defending this guy and putting it all on management. Like I said before, management does indeed screw us a bunch. But this wasn't one of those times.
As far as me yelling, you damn right I'm gonna voice my displeasure with having to help the same guy with a simple split car 3 times in a row. Especially if the stop count is reasonable on all of those days. If he can't safely go fast enough to finish that route in 14 hours then maybe this ain't the job for him. Hey, the job isn't for everyone. Lucky for him he already (somehow) qualified.

you mean the people who use safe working methods?
the runners are all broken down way before they retire and have a miserable retirement due to all their health problems.

No, he meant the lazy people.
