[QUOTE="soberups, post: 900657, member: 14668"] No. Sometimes we are instructed to do things that are so futile, so pointless, and so completely devoid of any rational purpose that we have to draw a line in the sand. I have [I]never[/I] met my 30 stop quota.[I] Not once[/I]. I have much more important things to worry about during a 13 hour peak-season day than helping some idiot to look better on a report. I would be willing to risk disciplinary action just for the comedic value of watching them [I]try[/I] to suspend me for "failing to put 30 stops in a helper DIAD." They arent even going to try, because that would put them in the position of having to [I]defend and explain [/I]that asinine demand in an open forum. And they arent ever going to do that....at least they havent chosen to so far. [I]My[/I] concern...is getting the packages delivered in the most efficient manner possible. Period. Sometimes that means 20 or even 25 stops in the helper board. Other times, it means zero. Conditions change, delivery areas change, helpers change. I adjust to those changing conditions and make the most cost-effective decisions I possibly can every day. Mindless manipulation of stupid and irrelevant metrics is [I]management's[/I] job, not mine.
