[QUOTE="Pachiquin, post: 1050501, member: 32115"] Well as much as I like money, I am already working 59 hours per week so if I have to break trace much more then I won't even have 8 hours available for Friday. A Friday off sounds good. I have been at UPS over 20 years and I have learned to always follow the letter of the law and use the methods. The supes are SO frustrated with me because I [I][B]refuse[/B][/I] to work off the clock. Once they learn that you are a person who cannot be intimidated or scared into working off the clock they treat you like crap. The runners and gunners are the heroes: they come in to work 45 minutes early to sort their truck and pull out misloads, and then they spend their days running, speeding, forging signatures and skipping breaks. Like I said, heroes. Management says that they want you to use the methods, take your breaks and drive safely, but when you do they label you a slug after comparing your overallowed to that of the cheaters. I am complaining all the way to the bank. I do not blame the full time supes because they have an impossible job as dictated by I.E. We have a center manager now who takes to bullying and intimidation; I think he is frustrated with his own job (again, due to unreasonable pressure from above). I am so glad that I never went into management! Finally, if anybody from Atlanta reads this, know one thing: you would have less accidents and injuries if you were to work us 8-9 hours instead of 10-13 hours. Instead of being in love with spreadsheets, try being in love with safety--you'll save a lot of money! [/QUOTE]
