[QUOTE="soberups, post: 773815, member: 14668"] Its OK to have business goals, and for those goals to be expressed in the form of metrics. Its [B]not[/B] OK when adherence to the metric causes [I]more[/I] problems than it purports to solve. Blind, unthinking obedience is [B]not [/B]the key to running a successful business. When we blindly and unthinkingly continue to produce a metric...even at the expense of safety, good business practices and adherence to the labor agreement....we are not doing right by our customers [B]or[/B] our shareholders [B]or[/B] our people. When a center (mine) is dispatching an [B]average[/B] paid day in excess of 10 hours....and when that center is paying out [B]$5,000 per week[/B] in over 9.5 grievance settlements...and when a center is having its drivers work up to 14 hours per day and they are running out of DOT hours in September.....[B]THEN THE ***** STOPS-PER-CAR METRIC IS WRONG AND SOMEBODY IN ATLANTA NEEDS TO PULL HIS HEAD OUT OF HIS BUTT AND ADJUST THE METRIC [/B]instead of continuing to pretend that the metric is accurate and blaming "poor dispatching" for the problem.
