When they come up with these pph numbers that they want, do they account for moving pallets out of the way and moving the extendo and waiting for trucks to pull up and dealing with irregs? Also moving the load stand all over the truck adds a lot of time. If all packages were 10x10x10 and all weighed 5 pounds and were loaded in perfect walls that were no taller than your head, we would all be able to meet they're numbers all the time. But that's just not reality.
On the flip side, I think it is fair for management to expect more from their workers. I just think they need to focus more on how to improve productivity in a less threatening manner. (However, I've never felt harassed about production but I'm sure it will happen eventually based on what I've read on here). The training programs I've seen them do here are not very good. I know that when I was moved from small sort to unload, I was just thrown in a trailer and told "labels up". The "training sups" that I've seen here pretty much just sit at the end of the trailer filling out paperwork or texting. Friday night, one of them let 2 hazmats (with no sigs from hazmat guy) down the belt.
