[QUOTE="AB831, post: 4493832, member: 80184"] I think its design is to cover up individual managerial impotence. Think about it. When you need something that requires actual MANAGING, you are almost always left out in the cold. I have spoken to multiple managers about how DRA builds an untenable number of P1 stops on my route. I simply cannot make service in a vehicle that can't go over 100 mph. Has meeting with the engineers and drawing up a plan that would work ever even been entertained? Nope. Their solution is either "make it happen" or "figure something out." Because of DRA building so many zeros and no one knowing whose route is whose on any given day, there is daily fighting within the loop about who should actually take these zeros out. I've recommended sitting down with the engineer and drawing up lines that are more static and less subject to change. What is the answer I'm always given? Some glib line about "teamwork" and/or "sucking it up." Yes, I've worked at only one station, but I have observed this kind of attitude in every single manager I've encountered. So from my perspective, it seems like they aren't actually interested in managing and that's mainly because they don't have to. They have on training wheels that shields them from any of the company's real responsibility like dollars and cents and also gives them immunity to having to actually deal with aspects of the daily operation which they don't feel like fooling with. It is of my honest opinion that the majority of these guys lack the real world managerial skills to run a McDonald's. I know I'm painting with a broad brush, but I'm only going by what I've seen.
