[QUOTE="john346, post: 787896, member: 10873"] Honestly, I didn't post this to start a fight. It's apparent that I and others see this as a problem, that management is ducking under the umbrella of "emergency conditions" when we see them as a dispatching problem that creates "missed" service to our customers. Our center is processing almost double of what is considered a normal mid-summer's day, yet only added two additional cars, which is still one below what the center was in the past regulated at. I understand the need to cut costs, and the need to produce productivity, but to what end? If tie feels I've slipped from the topic, it's obvious that we are 180 degrees out, and that's fine I'm perfectly willing to agree to disagree. The fact is this; since Wednesday Nov 24 to today Dec 2nd, I have had to "roll" on average 20 stops, not parcels, but stops. Punching out right at 12 hours every day. My veracity is true, I have no reason to lie, what would I gain? I do not bring these issues to light to undermine, but to possibly understand why this is accepted. I've contended for the last few years that if management held themselves to the standards they expect of their drivers, there would be a lot of new faces making the decisions. I don't hate management people, and I further hate the "Us and Them" mentality that exists in so many centers.
