[QUOTE="freeloader, post: 255294, member: 12163"] There used to be lots of external techs in our district, sometimes 2 per building a few years ago when Worldship first came out. Once they saturated all the shippers with Worldship then the number of techs slowly started dwindling to what it is today. I think there was only 2 techs that ONLY did external work, the rest of the external work (which wasn't very much) was given to the internal techs. The big red flag for that was when UPS stopped giving out hardware and just gave the customers money to buy their own, thus relieving UPS the burden of supporting the hardware anymore. PMT was a nightmare in our district. We got the morning emails showing who planned (AKA padded) their 6.5 hours for the day and who didn't. It was a constant number chase throughout the month in order to try to look good on the almighty BSC. I don't think our district ever made the top 10. To me PMT was a setup to justify getting rid of people. I do understand that business is business and sometimes that has to happen. But it also has to be understood that the TSG function is not a standard function that justifies its existence by being busy all the time. Being busy means things are broke and we have not done a good job of being proactive. Sitting around admiring how smoothly your network is running means you have done a good job being proactive and are simply reaping the benefits of your hard work. UPS will never realize that simply because they are a company that demands visible productivity all of the time from everyone. [/QUOTE]
