[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 770995, member: 14596"] You keep going back to these numbers from higher up. I get them, I get my a@@ chewed on a regular basis for my operation not meeting them. I don't care. I am a UPS management person and a partner in the business, I have a very thick skin. I do not, under any circumstances use them as a measuring stick for discipline. If you are going too slow will you be in trouble? Of course. But then, what is the definition of too slow? If you are going at a steady pace, that could be described as the fastest pace you can personally set that will A) Keep you safe, B) allow you to work accurately and not miss handle packages, and C) allow you to maintain the pace for the entire shift, then no, you are not going too slow. If on days you have plans and need to leave early and I agree to let you go as soon as your area is wrapped you have a quick pace and handle your say 1000 pph and do it safely, but on every other day your pace is slower and you only do the 900 then I know you are capable of an effort that you refuse to routinely give. But how do I address it? If your methods are the same, just your pace is slower, and I talk to you about it, and you just say "I am doing the best I am capable of". Is the union going to accept my disciplining you? Or will they fight it tooth and nail? And um, just exactly how would you suggest I address it? What way could I address it that would get a union steward to assist me in changing the behavior? [/QUOTE]
