[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 170245"] see there lies the conflict (with me I mean). I do believe PAS in its current state is a joke. I know they've thrown so much money at it that its not going anywhere. Do I think it could be effective? sure, but not the way its being used right now. Much the same as the old way would have been better if they kept the alpha charts updated (for those who didn't know the pull). They can't even keep the bay numbers/route numbers updated so its really more of the same. Also telling people no stacking and whatnot, having done the job I know its damn near impossible to finish sometimes without stacking a certain stop/stops out. So they would know I don't really believe in what I'm saying in this case at least. Believe me, by now, I do know how to and how not to motivate people. Telling someone that you're "only getting 600 pieces today so you better finish" isn't motivation. Or saying that "I can wrap the pull so you better be able to". Thats not motivation, yet I hear it everyday (not directed at me, but I still hear it). I'd hope you (supe saying it) can wrap the pull over a newhire, because if you can't what are you doing training them? Thats another thing, most people on my shift know me, but they also know I show up everyday and I work hard. I'm not one of the people who slack off (and I don't know many people on our shift that do to be honest). I joke around and such but when our backs are against the wall I get it done as quickly and safely as possible. I have a 3 car pull that does the same volume as many 4 car ones (especially on heavy days) and its a real b*tch to try and shoehorn it into those trucks securely lol. [/QUOTE]
