[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5767973, member: 24302"] If all mgrs watched couriers that closely then she wouldn't have stood out. But I've worked for more mgrs than most and I've never seen anyone come close to what she did. She had quite a few company awards on her wall and she certainly did a great job. Let me give two examples concerning me. I had a route with a town of about 8000 plus the surrounding county. A lot of driving. She would insist if I had a stop up in the corner of my route that I give it to the next route over because he typically got 37-38 hrs a week. She wanted to make sure I didn't get OT that day. Problem is that courier was topped out making about $6hr more than me. She was taking money out of my pocket taking 25-30 minutes from me to reduce OT. Didn't matter that my OT wasn't much more than a topped out courier's regular time and that he made considerably more on 37 than I did on 42. And also when I transferred there she wouldn't let me take a week off my first week there to move a 1000 miles and get situated, taking care of getting my driver's license, etc. I transferred more than most and always the station I was moving to would give me time off to move. I had to beg my mgr of the station I was leaving let me have a couple of days off before that weekend to move. Something he didn't have to do but was nice about it. He called me up there and asked me if I would consider coming back. Said he could make it happen. But I transferred to make my wife happy and couldn't go back. Anyways that mgr was more concerned about her budget than helping a courier moving his household a thousand miles. [/QUOTE]
