Look, I don't know what kind of crack-head managers you have, all I know is that we try to schedule a time so that the employee has more than 5 minuted to rip through it. We're not talking about an hour here, more like 15-20 minutes, a little more if needed. I've never had anyone refuse to take it, so ask your manager what they would like you to do if you so choose. My point is that you shouldn't be pulled off the belt in the AM and told to go do it, then come back to a pile of freight and be told not to have any lates...you shouldn't be rushed through it.
Your manager knows whether or not you have taken it b/c we have a screen in PRISM that says Complete/Not Started/Started. That's it, no big conspiracy, no score, nothing but your name/EE# and whether or not you have completed it. As far as I can tell, the reason some may pressure you is b/c it's like a competition between directors to see who can get the best completion rate the quickest, beyond that I have no idea....they send updates everyday with completion rates for each station/district. I think they like it done early so that they can get an idea of what the scores are looking like before it's all said and done.
