Bidding on a full-time route

I loved it when swings got POed because they couldn't match my numbers.

Neither, I did it to urinate-off the lazies who were sandbagging their routes.

Yeah, there are a couple of really bad ones in the company.
Throwing shade? I had a route that you couldn't get good numbers on unless you knew it really well. Same route I described earlier that the mgr screwed up. Same mgr was telling these two swings to blow up everyone's rt so that he could come down on them. And they took great pleasure in doing so. But my route's roads from the air probably looked like a plate of spaghetti. If you didn't know where the shortcuts were you got behind really fast. And it used to infuriate these guys.

Oh you mean you did this to people who did their route by the book, took care of the customer and didn’t exceed the posted speed limit? Very conviently you crap on your co-workers.

Narcissistic suckass, at that.
Worked with a fellow swing (ex-UPS who couldn’t hack it) who bragged about violating every protocol just to be able to say he beat everyone’s goals.
He was a jerk, too.

I love managers who expect cover drivers to blow up routes. Then I come back, they question me on why person x was able to do x SPH. I just smile and ask them if they would like to check ride me.
They think because they can bully the young guys, it'll work on the old dogs.

Why on earth would I do it any other way than by the book when the point was that it could be done by the book and still much faster than certain people were doing it?????

I, too, exceeded goal on most routes, because of my cursory interaction with the customer. That isn't an effective way to build customer loyalty, but as a swing I didn't feel that responsibility (I never turned in sales leads, either).
The difference?
I didn't go around bragging about it. Your contempt of your co-workers is despicable. And predictable.

Much faster does not always equal better quality. In your case it never does.

They wanted a "No one can do it better than me"/"I'm working at the highest possible level" urinating contest. Don't look at me, I just worked there.

Just like to tell drivers that they have the easiest route in the station.

I never have that problem. Most swings in my station love doing my route. They always ask me when I’m going to be off. Only two of them don’t. They say there aren’t enough brown people on the route. Lol.

Wow, they probably had no business being swings if they made you look good.

And I’m sure doing a full time route, 10 hours in an extended area would you in tears. You don’t like to get your hands dirty.

Hell ya. Bid on one of those dense business routes in the city where knowing the people on the street and hours to use each crowded dock is a requirement for making fast deliveries and the sucka$$ runners cant even get near you.

Never bothered me when I did the 12 hour routes in extended areas, don't know why you think 10 hour routes would be an issue.
Don't have to.
