1) How were you selected for this harrassment.
2) What were the road conditions on this rolling stop. Were you approaching an interesection of two crossing roads or turning onto a street when you made your rolling stop?
3) Are you the only person in the center being told they have to learn the ketter questions?
4) Have you ever done any honest soul searching and ruled out the possibility that you may be the real problem?
Because we don't have to learn it and they can't do a damn thing about it.
Some idiot off the street gets hired by UPS and comes up with the idea to force the employees to memorize a bunch of crap and that will help them to avoid accidents and injuries. I here that guy has now put out the 10 keys to having sex and the 14 keys to eating a hamburger. I better get to memorizing! (Even though I have been doing both successfully for a long time!)
How many people who driver safely even know what the 10 point commentary is or the 5 seing habits? Tell us to be careful, to obey the speed limits, to do any number of things that will contribute to a safe day, but don't ask us to memorize and recite. That is ridiculous and ineffective...a complete waste of time.
I don't know what the problem is !!
Every driver needs to know the answers to all the Keter questions. They are even paying you to come in early and learn it on the clock. It is managements job to make sure all their employees know them. Do yourself a favor and learn them, then find a way to get yourself off their radar.
Chance you have in trying to beat UPS on this? 0 %
I have to agree with "Heff" 100% here. They're asking you to come in early to learn the answers. This means they are paying OT which is somewhere in the vicinity of $44/ hour. Its the easiest OT you will ever get for heavens sake!
To you they are not hard. Not every body is wired the same. Some can learn at faster then others. Some can know them 100% verbally and on paper but can not demonstrate on the job. While others can demonstrate while on the job but not verbally or on paper.I agree with Heff and tie. The questions are not hard.
Who has ever been OPENLY ALLOTTED time ON THE CLOCK, OVERTIME nonetheless, to learn the saftey commentaries?
reeks of "setup" to me.
Not sure if you're refering to my post, but I did say "During my day driving...".
Please show me the contract article that specifies successful regurgitation of stupid acronyms and buzz words as a condition of employment.
There isnt one.
I didnt ask UPS to let me come in early and memorize this drivel on the clock. If they choose to compel me to do so I will report for work as instructed, but I am not a 4th grader and I am not a parakeet and I do not enjoy being treated like one. If they are not happy with my lack of effort towards helping them pass a stupid audit they are free to leave me alone and find someone else to bother.
your argument is totally illogical. Are you saying they maintain a six to 8 second following distance but don't know they should do so?
Are you saying they automatically count 1,2 3 when the car in front of them starts moving before they move but don't know they should do so.
Its real simple. Does knowing the ten point commentary and practicing it help you drive safely. If so then why beat your head against a wall and fight it?
<sigh>
You know what? I may be old, but I'm not stupid. I did it to prove to myself that I could do it. I now know the Five Seeing Habits, 8 keys, and 5 keys completely. Have not tried the 10 point yet.
We get physical exercise every day at our job. Exercise your brain for a week. Don't do it for UPS, do it for you. You can learn it.
