[QUOTE="Brownnblue, post: 240542, member: 1941"] Permission to redirect? Thank you. The first two lines in your original post was directed solely at drivers. In fact, the overall theme of your original post was directed at the extremely ambiguous ineptitude of some drivers, and how said ineptitude costs the company loss of business accounts. While it is very true that you did mention poor performers in other departments at UPS , you did not get into very much detail, certainly not going to the length of having to read complaints from customers or looking at them and wondering if they would have a negative impact on the delivery of your package. So do not try to save yourself by trying to point out that you were aiming your comments at any poor performing employee at UPS. You mention (with a hint of "I'm trying to make myself look good by making others look bad" bravado) that the overwhelming reason for volume loss is poor service & damages, and that you see these driver complaints daily. Well, what are the nature of these complaints? Are they related to deadline failures? Not being able to get to certain accounts at a certain time? The root problem here would be over dispatching or EDD difficulties. Damages? How about giving more times to loaders & unloaders to handle the parcels? You are pretty vague about the nature of these complaints, so it is difficult to reply. But before you go calling for the resignation of drivers who complain about things like this, why not dig a little deeper and try to solve the root problem. You mention your superior work ethic is reason you do not need a union. And yet your "if you don't like your job as a driver, quit" just smacks of sheer laziness. This tells me you do not have the managerial skills to try to solve the problem. Most of the drivers complaints on these forums follow pretty universal themes: over dispatching, poor route planning, lack of appreciation, managerial dishonesty to name a few. How about working (or at the very least, responding) to some of these problems. As a driver of almost 21 years, I can say that my job per se is not too bad. I like the challenges of driving, delivering packages, dealing with all types of people, and doing so within the guidelines of policy. However, I do complain about overbearing, unappreciative, unqualified, and downright insulting management personal that make my employment a discouraging environment in which to work. I will continue to complain, and I WILL NOT QUIT. Doing so would be a loss of an excellent employee. Figure it out. And to UK guy Wrong score, but right result! [/QUOTE]
