All they need to do in reality is stop Saturday mail delivery.
But the Union won't allow that.
That's probably 20% in savings right there ! (5 days + 1 extra working day = 20%)
well Congress sucks - they sure don't work 6 days a week !
six times as much?
Yup, just like your parents or grand parents , that no longer work !
How often do I read on here, 25 and out ?
Well, I got more then that !
Hoax, I am was indeed talking about Dist. Mgr. Your 1990 reference does coincide with when these practices seemed to end. The intent of my post more than that he is unseen, is that he acts unapproachable (dare I say ABOVE us) Also as I see you later posted, how their busy schedules MIGHT interfere with center visits. It should be a GIVEN that every center should expect to see their district manager at the very least once per year. Now being in the NJ District I'm not talking about a very large territory, as I'm sure other districts encompass entire multiple states. Hell even the Div. Mgr. what little he "pops" in, amounts to a drive through visit. What is going on with the upper-level (executive) positions at this company that they have decided this is the way the company we all helped build should be run? This is why people post sentiments that Jim Casey is rolling over in his grave. This is why I will only refer to Scott Davis as CEO Davis. I heard the jokes back when Jim Kelly was CEO, that we were run by a "trucker" but he would not have allowed half the bs that is infecting us now, to continue. This divide is caused by upper level management being clueless to what we at the centers do on a daily basis, and futhermore by same managers not allowing their charges to accurately witness said centers.I've been with the company 37 years and I've never known the District manager to do these things. I assume you are talking about the Division Manager and that person did these things all the time. That started changing around 1990 as the Division Manager's responsibilities changed and has done even more so. These people are more like executives now attending meetings, visiting customers and are more hands off on the operations other than what they can see on reports. The consolidations have made this even more so that Division Managers manage operations based on reports and metrics. It is what it is ... it is a much tougher job for Div Mgrs now than it was before.
Interesting ... $54k is less than half the cost of 1 driver in a year so I doubt that cost was the determining factor in adjusting the SPC. Any idea what the actual factor was? Squeaky wheel gets greased?
What is the difference between Surepost & Basic service?
There will be a single scan by the driver. The smalls will be bagged in the preload.
Not unless they are really big bags upstate.....About UPS SurePostP-man, in regard to the preload method changes, do you see our preload scanning and bagging these SurePost packages and the driver simply scanning the barcode on the bag with the system then doing a logical scan updating the status of each package in that bag within 30 minutes of delivery?
