[QUOTE="iowa boy, post: 834247, member: 13555"] Brown, In your first quote above, you tell us that the OMS is a part time supervisor and us as employees have to work as directed if told to do so by the OMS. In CC's quote above, he was told, by the OMS, to deliver the misload to another town 40 miles away and informed the OMS that it was not his route and have it picked up and routed to the right driver. The OMS threatened to call the center manager if he failed to work as instructed, so he went and delivered to misload. (working as instructed). In your second quote above you stated that both the driver and OMS should have been reprimanded for their actions. The OMS should have been reprimanded for not double checking where the misload was located and finding out what route it is on before pulling the 'work as directed' trigger. Can you explain to all of us here how CC should be reprimanded for working as instucted? And don't tell me he should have used his common sense in this situation, as that would have been construed as refusing to work as instructed. He could have pled his case with regards to this off area misload, but if the OMS says "too bad, deliver it" what was CC supposed to do? Our common sense in situations like this is taken out of our hands when we are told to work as instucted, unless we feel it is unsafe or illegal. Granted CC may have been a little more smug than he should have been, but if I was faced with the same situation, I would have run the misload, as I have to 'work as directed'. [/QUOTE]
