[QUOTE="soberups, post: 930717, member: 14668"] Here's the deal. I dont mind the 12 hour days. I dont mind the snow, or the cold, or the heat,or the rain, or the dust, or the heavy packages, or the stress of peak season. Those conditions are all [I]part of the deal [/I]that I signed on for when I made a decision to pursue a UPS career, and I feel that I am fairly compensated for putting up with those conditions. What I [I]do[/I] mind...[I]a lot[/I]...is when some brain-dead corporate idiot sitting in a heated cubicle some place with too much authority and too little intelligence has himself a "bright idea" about reducing Telematics idle time and decides to write a memo denying [I]me[/I] the right to operate the heater during the middle of the fu&%ing winter. Really? Is he actually [I]serious[/I]? Does this guy even have a fu%&ing [I]clue[/I]? If [I][B]I[/B][/I] were that stupid and utterly incompetent in [I]my [/I]day-to-day management of the business of my route....I would have been [B]terminated[/B] a [I]long[/I] time ago. Yet those of us who actually [I]do[/I] the work and [I]generate[/I] the revenue that keeps this company going are stuck with having to carry such unaccountable dead weight on the payroll. [I]This[/I] is the sort of stupidity that we need to keep in mind next year when our contract is up for renewal and the company "cries poor" and whines about "the competition" and its "cost advantage". I for one am unwilling to even [I]discuss[/I] any sort of concessions until I see an honest effort by the company to rid itself of the sort of idiotic corporate leeches that would actually say that we cant use the heater in the middle of winter. Rant over. [/QUOTE]
