[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 2660620, member: 11234"] That's true. I'm in management (not in operations anymore though), and part of management's job is to create a sense of urgency. Despite what people say here, that is necessary too. I was here in the 90's when we tried NOT doing that. Costs increased faster than revenue, and quality and safety didn't improve a lick either. However, the one thing you learn as you gain experience, is that YOU can take care of yourself better than anyone else. So while you might *feel* pressured to scramble over a pile of packages, you'll find that the most successful, long term employees here don't do that. They stick to the methods, and work at a pace their bodies can sustain. It takes a certain amount of mental toughness, but everyone can do it. And as union members, I've come to understand that the rights the Teamsters have bargained for have to be vigorously defended or they can be lost. So I don't take it personally anymore when a shop steward wants to talk to me about something. 99% of the time they're doing what they're supposed to, by defending the rights in the contract.
