[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3015686, member: 24302"] Mgrs know that you are going to spend time checking oncalls on the side of the road. You're also going to take restroom breaks. This stuff is all built in. With GPS they can see you're parked at your house on the clock, that sort of thing. That you are outside of your route boundaries. There are a lot of ways couriers screw the company. I knew a part-timer getting 35 hrs a week. While in his P-1 cycle between P-1 deliveries he was dropping off P-2. He'd write down the tracking numbers, then go home after P-1 cycle. Would enter a P-2 tracking number every so often while watching tv. Of course took his break there too. About 1530 he'd clear and run over to the station, which was a half mile away. Senior mgr got in his face once and called him the worst courier in the world. If Sr mgr knew what he was really doing no doubt he would've fired him. He told me on phone after I transferred. Asked why didn't he just do it the right way, go fulltime if he needed hours. Said he'd been doing that for years and didn't want to give it up. It would've never entered my mind to even try such a thing, but there are a lot of clever people out there when it comes to avoiding work. By the way, a company doesn't give it's workers a union. And seriously, how have any of the examples you cited harmed your personal freedom? Most likely they've stopped terror attacks we aren't even aware of. [/QUOTE]
