[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 508362, member: 927"] I believe the memo is real. I think the line about lunch and break and "drivers scamming" was very poor, but not for the reason you may see. If the memo said that we need to document any drivers that are misusing their lunch and break periods and apply appropriate discipline, I would have been fine with it. Even the point of making an example of them may have sat better with me. By forcing each center to find a driver I think is wrong. There certainly can be a center without a lunch / break problem. I would have asked each center to look, but not for each to fine one. While I still believe the vast majority of our drivers do things correctly, there are a % that don't. I've seen it many times with telematics and other reports. I don't support a supervisor abusing their position and you shouldn't support a driver abusing their's either. (Of course, I do believe that a poor supervisor has a much worse impact on UPS than does a poor driver). As far as AMEX goes, it makes sense to me. He wants to reduce the division budget overall for expense account spending. Supervisor use of AMEX is only a portion of that. We need to keep service high (Its at its highest level in our history right now.) We also need to reduce cost agressively. Don't ignore his last line: [COLOR=#000000]"I know there are going to be a lot of questions/concerns over all these. [B]All I can say is we need to take a hard look at everything we do and ask why?[/B] We need to do our part to support the company, so we'll all have jobs in [FONT="]the future.
