[QUOTE="jaded1, post: 766682, member: 26375"] I really have no reason to complain, I have been doing this 18 years and never been talked to about my numbers. I guess my issue is I see co-workers who are hard workers getting daily ride-alongs and constant production pressure. It used to be if you could hit a SPORH of 20 or so you were around scratch. From what I have been told, the new studies placed more emphasis on pieces per hour, so if you have a light pickup route and not a lot of bulk stops you are going to see your numbers go south. So, the guy who used to go out and hammer off 140 stops and be off at 5:00 and look ok on paper is now being given 180 and told that it should be under 9.5 hours. It seems to be the case with the company in recent years that the centers are not allowed to run their operations. IE dictates how many cars to run, 'problem' drivers are targeted at division level and above that need to be brought in line and pressured to step it up. While the center manager spends his whole day responding to email, going to meetings and taking the daily whipping from his superiors about not being able to achieve numbers that are dictated from on high, while the center falls apart and what we are really here for-service- goes to hell in a hand basket. Such is the new, post-'going public with our stock' UPS. The 'S' is not for Service, it's for Shareholders. [/QUOTE]
