[QUOTE="Southern Comfort, post: 214528, member: 10562"] Great thread here. Looks like most y'all are more interested in arguing than helping this guy, except UPS Lifer. It's like sitting in a CERC meeting with the filter off. Towely - there's some good advice that's been written here. Your first 30 days are a probationary period. They should be used learning the methods and applying them daily, becoming more proficient in the job. Yes, speed will come as you get better following the methods. And yes, once you make seniority you can not be held to a production quota. However, if you are proficient at following the methods, 300 pph is a very attainable goal. If you can not hit that, then there is likely something wrong with your execution of the methods. It's you supervisor's job to figure that out what you are doing wrong and help you correct it. 'Go faster' is what an inexperienced or incapable supervisor will tell you. If that sup is truely observing your performance, they should have a clue as to what you need to work on, be it package selection or decision making when it comes to placement. Those are the most common things that prevent production, though there are obviously many more scenarios. The people that wrote for you to keep working on executing the methods and that production will follow know what they are talking about. A few other pieces of advice : Find out how your pph is calculated. If your sup is just taking the volume you scan and dividing that by the hours you work, then there's no trick to use. If, however, you are using the newer wireless equipment, GSS is the name, then your sup is in all likelihood using the GSS reports to generate your pph. You can somewhat trick those numbers. What you need to do is make sure you are logged out of your scanner whenever you are not in your trailer - during break, when you get a drink of water, etc. GSS tracks the amount of time you are logged in vs the packages that you scan and spits out a pph based on those elements. I'm not telling you to go crazy with logging in and out, but if you are legitimately not scanning then do let that time count against you. Many of the anti management statements posted here are by seasoned vets that have become soured by a bad run in with mgmt years past or by people that are simply bored with their job - hey, it happens. We move freight day in and day out, it gets redundant. They're a little salty, to say the least. Form your own opinions, don't let the negative talk wear you down. Yes, some mgmt people should never have been promoted.
