[QUOTE="soberups, post: 803779, member: 14668"] UPS made a business decision to enter into a contract that requires you to be paid for all hours worked. They also made a business decision to dispatch you with a certain number of NDA packages with a certain commit time. If those two decisions are not compatible, why should [I]you [/I]then have to work off of the clock in order to solve [I]their[/I] problem? I faced a similar situation once when the company made a business decision to change the commit time in my area from noon to 10:30 while at the same time [I]refusing[/I] to dispatch any additional drivers or make [I]any[/I] adjustments to my delivery area or stop count. Rather than "solving" [I]their[/I] problem by coming in early and working off of the clock, I warned my management team ahead of time about [I]their[/I] problem and then simply delivered as many as I safely could by 10:30 and allowed the rest to be service failures. It took a week and about 30 or 40 late air before the consequences of their [COLOR=red]stupidity[/COLOR] became so painful that they could no longer ignore the problem and were instead forced to actually [I]solve[/I] it by dispatching the additional drivers that were required in the first place. Sometimes you have to allow things to fail rather than enabling them to continue. [/QUOTE]
