[QUOTE="soberups, post: 995068, member: 14668"] At UPS, it is perfectly acceptable to spend $500 in order to save a nickel as long as the nickel shows up on [I]your[/I] report and you can make the $500 show up on someone [I]elses[/I]. You see, UPS isnt actually one company. Instead, it is a huge conglomeration of underfunded and overstressed individual fiefdoms whose "managers" are only concerned with one thing; covering their own asses. The #1 rule of corporate survival is that if you cant make yourself look better on a report, then you had better find a way to make an internal rival look [I]worse[/I]. Actually [I]solving[/I] problems requires teamwork and the willingess to take risks; the safer play is to focus on assigning blame instead. The preload managers job is not to set the drivers up to succeed. That is the center manager's problem. The preload managers job is to generate the PPH metric that is being demanded of him by his superiors. Generate the metric, and all is right with the world; the fact that drivers are costing $45 an hour on OT to shag misloads is [I]someone elses[/I] problem. [/QUOTE]
