[QUOTE="V and H, post: 1973821, member: 61424"] Half of the members of this management team I have known for 20+ years and we have all enjoyed a good repoire. Going into management really sets one up for a lot of stress from the DM, etc. I will talk to the center manager very soon and the BA if I need to. The management team definitely stands its ground re the brown Kool-Aid fantasy. I think they have to if they want to keep their job. It is funny how much faith they have in a time study that was done based on one sunny day where it didn't get dark until 9 PM, all with an 8 hour dispatch. Think that load was massaged? Any time spent putting a package in a DR bag, dealing with a misroute or imperfect load, slowing down for slick roads or darkness just adds to the overallowed. And was the IE guy ever a driver? I asked a supe that had been in UPS IE for 20 years why in the Heck did UPS consistently heap upwards of 50 hours per week on drivers that they knew had families. I asked him if IE realized that these families struggled to live a normal life with the driver parent getting home so late. His answer: "Well, a lot of these drivers are running overallowed." Un-freakin-believable. He actually believed in his time studies. [/QUOTE]
