[QUOTE="soberups, post: 541059, member: 14668"] I personally am not being harrassed or bullied for the simple reason that I refuse to participate in conversations about the data. Management has basically decided it is not worth the hassle of talking to me. Plus I am not significantly overallowed. Other drivers are being harrassed. Every morning, our sups wander around before during and after the PCM with clipboards full of Telematics printouts. They confront drivers about "overallowed" stops and delays, and instances where the vehicle moved 6 inches with the bulkhead door open or the DIAD not in its holder. They confront them for "excessive" backing. They confront them about being less than 85% on trace....they confront them about + or - 15 minutes on pickup times. They confront them for being overallowed and they confront them for being an underload. It is impossible not to appear on a report. Any action you take to get off of one report will simply cause you to appear on another one. No matter how hard we try or how well we do our jobs there will always be some element that management will bitch about. We have come to believe that, in these times of layoffs, management is simply justifying their own continued employment with UPS by inventing problems where none previously existed in order to then take "credit" for monitoring and solving them. This helps to create the illusion that they are somehow adding value to the company. The new management philosophy seems to be...that if you cant actually [I]do[/I] anything then the next best choice is to create a statistic, proclaim it to be important, track it, put it on to a report, and find a way to manipulate it. Hopefully this "accomplishment" will allow you to survive for yet another day. I'd rather just deliver packages and provide service. [/QUOTE]
