[QUOTE="LightsOut, post: 530757, member: 19903"] The ends remain the same -- less injuries -- regardless of your moral judgment on the means. The safety methods are an extremely cost-effective way of reducing the number of injuries in and out of the building, and the results of UPS's push for safety have cut the number of lost time injuries by a significant portion. You can certainly argue morals, but you can't argue numbers and results. The "word games" you cite are part of a program that HAVE reduced injuries throughout the country. Address your supervisor if you find an overcrowded work area, that's what they are there for. I've been in more than a couple of hubs and have never seen one that I would define as "overcrowded" and these were in major metropolitan areas, still though, the circumstances could be different where you work. I have to confess I find it interesting that on a board where I hear constant complaints about management trying to get employees [I]off the clock[/I], there is a member who claims certain work areas are shoulder to shoulder with hourlies. These are huge financial undertakings that the company has begun to address. There are new hubs being built with modern equipment, and there are constant renovations going on in most buildings. Take a walk around the building around noon, and look at the repairs and modifications being done, you might be surprised. If they were unrealistic then they would be unobtainable -- but they are obtainable and you know it. I'm assuming you work or have worked for the company and "smashed the number" more than once in your life. UPS wants your BEST every day, you should expect this from yourself as well. Stay safe, and God bless. [/QUOTE]
