[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1159146, member: 17969"] Well, we all learn from others. "LEARNED BEHAVIORS" is contagious and can be very dangerous. I had a case where ONE driver was padding his mileage at the end of the day 10 miles. He was able to kick up his "planned day" and then went on to expodentially increase the pad to 50 miles a day. THE REASON? He didnt want a split and work late. What he did, was to falsify his timecard and increase the planned day earning BONUS. He was able to break standard by almost a hour a day with a 50 mile pad. He was so impressed with his actions, that he started to brag to another driver who began doing the same thing. That driver was earning production bonus as well. Then, he told two other drivers, and they started doing the same thing and earning bonus. Now you have 4 drivers padding miles and earning bonus and having splits removed. The center manager, who will remain nameless because she is an idiot and now a division manager back east. ( how that happened is beyond me) FAILED to catch these guys and it was only because of a mileage descrepancy report from automotive that brought attention to the issue. They took the report to LP who launced an investigation. For a month, they monitored all 4 trucks, taking photos of the odometers and making copies of the timecards as well as taking photos of the odometer in the AM prior to departure. Once they all got caught, they all got fired. When I interviewed each to find out how this started, three of the guys admitted to it right off the bat. The originator refused to own up to it, and denied telling the others. I took the three to the division manager who listened as they owned what they did. They were out a month and a half before I came into office and took the case. The division manager, Don Ammons, was no sweatheart either and is known to be a hard ash. He gave me all three guys back because they were at least honest and took ownership. Today those three drivers are still working and two of them are now feeder drivers. The originator chose to accept the termination and did not want to fight his case facing the evidence. The point is, Learned Behaviors, no matter how many people are doing it, are NO REASON to immitate them. You are an individual, and you are responsible for yourself and yourself only. Do the job correctly and dont worry about what others are doing. With AIR, if its late, its late. Take your heat and dont do it again. Good luck with your case. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
