Now that peak is over they've started cramming orion down our throats again this week. Has anyone had any luck in convincing your center manager to let you run it your way instead?
Two days ago my on-car said "you gotta run orion. The guy above the DM just had a big meeting with us about it." I again told him how broken and retarded the orion dispatches were on that route but he insisted. I ran Orion's broken ass plan and came in at 9pm 20 miles over what orion thought it would take and only deviated from trace to avoid service failures and for pickups. Yesterday morning the on car pulled me into the office after pcm and said you did too good with orion. I was like WTF? Do you want me to follow it or not? He said he knows it is broken but needs me to use it anyway and to make it look good. I told him I can either run the route efficiently like a well oiled machine using my head or I can use Orion but that I was not going to stress about a percentage range if he was going to force me to use it and would follow it fully. He said I didn't have to follow orion if I could beat the miles it thought it should take. I pointed out that following orion the day before 98% still put me 20 miles over so the mileage was a fantasy and not real world obtainable numbers so he said I had to stick with orion for now. I said okay but again reminded him that I won't be pretending it works properly. He just stood there so I walked away and will be following Orion stop for stop and laughing all the way to the bank.
