[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 174134, member: 1944"] I also dont think everyone in mgmt is dishonest, or that everyone in hourly is honest. Thats just plain ludicrous. Management gets promotion from within, not from the local pokey. But I have seen that production, being harder to meet, has caused some hourly to try to cheat to get someone to tell them for once, that they are doing a good job. Seeing that safety awards, driving awards, and yrs of service seldom get recognized, but run 2 bucks late, and you get recognition big time. In some centers it was seen OVERNIGHT, a scratch driver go to being 1+ hrs late, and no one in management would address it? And we are not on PAS> YET. And have been told no time study will be done til we go on PAS. I had a pkg sheeted as I had to move it out of the way to maneuver til I could get to the stop. So I wouldnt forget about it and have to go back to the area again. Seems when I delivered it, I also sheeted it, so I delivered it twice, and was told I was trying to fudge numbers which is dishonest. I said what I did and it was a mistake. one stop is not going to make me look better, Im not a rocket scientist but even I know that. They made it look like I was trying to pad stops. No human error, sorry, Ill try not to make that mistake again....And they all know me better than that, I may be older, slower, ditzier, more forgettful, but I am not a liar. But yet I will find misloads, and call early as they are businesses, so someone can come get it and make delivery and I wont hear about it the rest of the day, hand it to the OMS at night, and they just record it however they do as missed. But accidently sheet one between 12- and 1 and you get reamed, but if you are dishonest you can prerecord and stop complete after 1 and its all OK???????? You were still there during that time, did the same thing but lie about when you did it. I never intentionally try to play the game where I "miss" a stop because I dont want to go back, but I guess some do, and thats because they are worried about making numbers and not the customer. But I can see how drivers are doing this, to try to meet standards. And I was never instructed to pre record by mgmt. I dont think most start out to be dishonest, most management people think they can make a difference, some do, others are scared because they have a family a mortgage, and so much time in they dont want to go somewhere else, so they try to keep things going smoothly, hoping things will get better. Most hourly do the same. I think we all start out honestly just wanting to do a good job for the company that pays so well, but doing the best as in yrs past netted us respect, and pride in our job, now just makes us look like slackers. Thats just my opinion. I for one appreciate hearing from management. I dont think you all just say, if you dont like it get out, because you dont want to hear that from your boss. And I gotta go, I hear the brown copters flying overhead. [/QUOTE]
