[QUOTE="Bailey4, post: 1025308, member: 36374"] Sad but true. There is a ton of pressure at our station as well. Delivery routes collasped in AM and couriers forced out over max and pushed to make service. PM pick up routes stretched out farther and pushed to make impossibe SPH goals. Calls for help to dispatch met with sorry no one available to help with pick ups or deliveries. Senior manager and managers huddled in offices together talking about how to get more SPH out of all routes. OLCCs for missed PODs have couriers trying to back track to get POD in pick up cycle or before return to building when P pad fails. Gap reports, increased check rides and tons of indivdual discussions about how each should be able to do impossible. Couriers with seniority have their routes subjected to constant change as they give the easy stops to those with less seniority. I am not one bit surprised by what I see anymore. They lie, lie and lie some more. The company appears bound to take Express to a pure overnight service division filled with as many lower paid "new" part time employees and as few "new" full time as each station will allow. It may not be as apparent at each station as the process begins but it will be I think in the next 2 years. I do not think the managers at station level are informed as to the ultimate destination of this train. Although, some suspect it appears. They are trying to keep the managers thinking it will be just a few more routes collasped or a few more employees gone.
