[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 315839, member: 4653"] Like someone said, time studies are based on a perfect day and us performing the methods without any errors. I couldn't get the seatbelt on in the alloted time during my study. My arm just can't reach far enough to do it in one motion. My one other major contention is they only give a certain allowance for a walk to a stop. The "long walk" is only given a certain allowance even if you walk 3-times the distance allowed for a long walk. Why can't they give us the time it actually takes to walk the stop off? We are encouraged not to back and walk packages off on a dead-end street from the main road. If we are only allowed a certain time, we are going to be over allowed for that stop. Now, in defense of UPS, I seldom get spoken to unless I'm over by an hour or more. I think our sups. and managers know the time can't be met every day. If you're 1.5 over consistently then you can expect a 3-day happy ride. Sometimes its justified, in other cases its not. It doesn't take a rocket scientist (just a center manager, lol) to know who is milking it and who is not. Then again, there are other cases where the driver is working his or her tail off and they still get criticized by management. Tooner comes to mind when I say this. I don't know her, but when she says 5 years ago her performance was fine and now when they change the standards she is a 'least best' or whatever they want to call it, I think something is wrong with the IE department there. I also think her center team would realize this also. I think its shame on them to bust'em when she has been a good driver for so long. [/QUOTE]
