[QUOTE="soberups, post: 564552, member: 14668"] I could care less about timestudies from a bonus perspective. I believe the bonus system should be eliminated anyway. The problem is that UPS is going to dispatch you based upon your plan day rather than your paid day. We have a lot of guys caught in the "9.5 straddle". Their allowance is between 1.5 and 2 hrs off...so in order for them to get in under 9.5 hours, they have to be dispatched on paper as an underload. And God help the manager who dares to dispatch an underload, the I.E. goons will rip his heart out, eat it, and crap in the hole. Result? Chronic 9.5 grievances and production harrassment. We also have drivers whose allowances are so bad that it is physically impossible to force what the company percieves as 8 hrs of work into their package car. It wont fit. They go out every day totally bulked out, so they are fighting the load all day which puts them even [I]further[/I] behind an already impossible production standard. Instead of loading the car for maximum efficiency and productivity...we are cramming it as full as possible in a desperate attempt to avoid the false perception of an underload. Service, safety and common sense no longer matter, the only thing that matters is not having "7.99" or less show up on a WOR the next day. UPS is the place where we try every day to force the square peg of the time allowance into the round hole of reality. And managements only tool is a hammer. [/QUOTE]
