[QUOTE="Dudeman, post: 1113674, member: 42395"] If you're doing your job correctly you shouldn't be causing the sort any havoc. Working at a normal pace is actually more efficient. Firstly, your sorter won't have to cut you off so many times. Secondly, you'll be producing much less damaged packages. Thirdly you won't be jamming the system up so much (the jams that you're having plus the jams you're causing by forcing your sorter to throw packages to keep up and packages falling on the floor and jamming up smalls, which in turn causes all the production to stop in that area). Forth you would cause less injury(to yourself and the sorters that have to deal with the packages falling on them, tripping them or coming out with no space in between and pinning them between the belts and crushing them). After you've been here a while you will start to realize these things more and more. You will stop caring about your supervisors sucking you off because you're going so fast. You're still in the brainwashed phase currently, which is what they love because they can feed you right into the brainwashed supervisor phase where all you care about is numbers and think going faster is somehow going to achieve that goal for you, not thinking about the machine as a whole. Fifth, you might actually make some friends on the sort!, people that might actually WANT to sort you! Yes, there are lazy sorters, there are lazy people anywhere, but there are also very good sorters, and the very good sorters don't want some brainwashed idiot that goes fast with no regard, they want a normal speed efficient person that keeps his labels up, pulls is bulk and retapes, and (understand what paces to go on what trucks they are unloading to keep the sort efficient.
