[QUOTE="El Morado Diablo, post: 1295720, member: 40760"] I have nothing to say about routes with "unattainable" goals. Some routes have fairer goals than others, lot of variables including the people who run them. I do have a problem with managers who brag about swings beating a route's goals, whether it's on a check ride or not. Swings don't run a route the same way the regular courier does. They may not be as familiar with the stops, they're usually in more of a hurry, they don't spend as much time talking to the customers, etc.. If it's a check-ride most customers know you're being evaluated and they speed up the interaction to get you on your way. Management loves this because it validates their position that the regular courier can pick up the pace. The thing is, when the regular courier runs the route again you always have customers telling you the swing wasn't as friendly, helpful, was in hurry, wouldn't wait, etc.. Management knows this too from the surveys they have our customers complete. Management wants the courier to go the extra mile providing a quality experience but they have no way to measure it at the courier level. Couriers should be able to take care of the customer without worrying if they are going to miss their goals for the day/week/month. [/QUOTE]
