[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 327599, member: 9789"] I have heard it all now LOL!!! So now management folks are a bunch of carnies or con men and women. I managed 7 package centers and [B]your characterization of bonus routes is a flat out fabrication.[/B] You should run for Congress! Also, if a center is a bonus center, the majority of the drivers have to be making bonus. A handful of routes won't make up the difference unless the rest of the drivers are scratch drivers. Allowances and TMUs are based on hundreds/thousands of studies. It is the action of the driver that causes bonus. Each route would have to have a variance to produce the "carnie" effect you describe. A variance is hard to get and there has to be an extremely good reason for one. Oh! on the study it would stand out like a sore thumb! The center management team does not control the allowances. The District IE manager controls this. Most IE managers want the allowances tight. Here is an example of why.... If a route is worth 9 hours - you are expected to do it in 9 hours. If the same route was worth 10 hours, there would be a driver that would want an hour of work off so that he had only 9 hours of work or less. Bottom line ... human nature will come into play. If UPS gives you an additional hour to get the job done you will take an additional hour. No different for management - if your boss says I need the report by 10 am tomorrow you will get it done by 10 am. If he/she says to have it on their desk by 4 pm tomorrow you will have it on their desk by 4 pm. [/QUOTE]
