For the past couple months my supervisor's had us sending open boxes straight to the damages area, regardless of just how "open" they are. Our building's got a theft problem (not sure how big it is, to be honest) and this guy told us not to load a "****in' thing" if it's even got a flap up. Send it down the belt and it'll end up in the damages area where open packages are now being checked to make sure the contents match the packing slip before being retaped and carted to their destination at the end of the shift. It's a hassle but it's pretty much eliminated retaping on the belt, so there's that.
It seems the more the full time supervisors yell and scream about not loading damaged packages and to not let a single one get past you, the more and more damaged packages ARE loaded AS-IS by the part time supervisors.
When I worked pre-load, I'd have a whole half of the trailer with damages and re-tapes... part time super would come in, and tell me to throw them up on the belt and they'll be dealt with somewhere else...
Now as a driver, I see the DM come in, scream about damaged packages getting customers and to pull them off the cars before we leave, and then when we do that, the on-roads tell us to put it back in the car and deliver it....
