[QUOTE="soberups, post: 819024, member: 14668"] The logic is actually quite simple. The company is counting upon the fact that a certain percentage of drivers will simply cave in to the production harassment and start working through their lunches and breaks in order to "make standard." UPS's entire business model is designed to maximize productivity by screwing as many people as possible out of their personal time through rigged time allowances. 9 skipped lunches equals one route eliminated, one less car on the road, one less fulltime employee with benefits on the payroll. On a nationwide basis we are talking about many millions of dollars per year. UPS may be admired as an "ethical" company in terms of how it deals with customers and other businesses, but in terms of the expectations it places upon its employees it is devoid of any ethics at all.
