[QUOTE="Brown287, post: 651384, member: 14940"] I work in a bonus center and I love it. Most importantly my pocket book loves it. Bonus is a funny thing that for the most part makes you not only work faster then you might otherwise, but you find yourself looking for more work to add to your bonus. I drive almost 200 miles a day pull a TP60 to a satelite and I have roughly 150 to 170 stops a day. I also have 14 pickups that take roughly an hour to do but are located at the beginning part of my route so Im forced to drive over 10 miles to get to them. All this adds up real fast. My paid day on average is between 11.5 and 12.5 hours. When Im on vacation or am sick they are forced to take roughly 40% of my route off do to the fact that the cover drivers cant do the route the way it is. Now with that all said here is the bad thing about bonus, if you bonus over 2 hours a day in my region your name gets put on a report and sent to the higher ups in San Fransisco. They start going through your numbers trying to see if your cheating. I once was called into an office to speak with some Region tie and he said we cant figure out why your bonusing so much we have gone through the last month of your numbers looking for padded miles, padded stops, padded over 70's and basically anything else that they could attribute to my numbers. I was beyond upset, I felt like I just had gotten punched in the gut. Your brought up in this company to work and work hard which is exactly what I do, I felt betrayed to put it bluntly. Well they then proceeded to ride with me for 5 days, end result I was proven RIGHT! I have supposedly been put on some exemption list so that now when I bonus they apparently say oh its this guy again, well he really earns it. Funny thing is that after this all took place the shop steward came up to me and asked if I would support a campaign to remove the bonus from our building, I said no. I was proven right and I wouldnt want someone else to miss out on the bonus they are earning cause of my headache. [/QUOTE]
