[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1301361, member: 14668"] I have been a driver for 26 years now and I have 20 years of area knowledge on my route. When I started this job, I was going out in a blown-out P6 with paper delivery records on a clipboard. There was no ORION, or EDD or PAS. Sequence numbers were hand-written on each package with a crayon and you had to figure out where your next stops were using common sense and experience. Managing a route is [I]easy[/I]. What makes my[I] [/I]life [I]hard[/I] is when I am told by management to be [I]intentionally[/I] stupid and to[I] intentionally[/I] waste time and miles and to [I]intentionally[/I] piss off customers in order to generate an ORION compliance metric for a report. Sorry, but the whole intentional stupidity thing is impossible for me to wrap my head around. I simply cannot do it. This company has spent almost 27 years hard-wiring my DNA to be as productive and efficient as possible, so it cant just flick a switch one day and force me to be stupid. That might work for management people, but not for me. Its like telling somebody to crap their pants on the count of three. It sounds easy enough, but when you actually try to make yourself to do it then all of those years of potty training just kick in automatically and you pucker up and nothing comes out. If that makes me unfit or unworthy to be part of the "new UPS" then so be it; in a few more years I will retire with a clear conscience (and clean underwear) and whoever is hired to replace me can be as stupid as his management team wants him to be.
