[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1176103, member: 14668"] Its not your job to "convince" them, and it shouldnt be your concern whether they believe you or not. None of this is personal, its just a numbers game. If they do this to 60 drivers in a building and can intimidate 10 of them into skipping their lunches and breaks while entering an hour in the board in order to make the harassment stop, that equals 10 hours of free labor which is the equivalent of eliminating an [I]entire route[/I] every day. Trust me, they have [I]already done the math[/I]. Once they eliminate [I]one[/I] route, they ratchet up the pressure to eliminate [I]another[/I] one. It will [I]never[/I] stop. Your management team's MIP bonus, as well as their job security (or lack thereof) is a direct reflection of how many employees they are successful in screwing out of a lunch every day. Raise the SPORH, tighten the allowances, threaten discipline. Raise the SPORH, tighten the allowances, threaten discipline. Repeat ad infinitum. Its standard management protocol, the very foundation of UPS's business model, and its been this way for decades. Get used to it, it will never change. The only choice [I]you[/I] have in the matter is whether or not you choose to cave in to the pressure and donote your lunch and breaks to the company, or whether you choose to grow a pair and endure the harassment in order to be fully paid for your time.
