[QUOTE="canon, post: 159127, member: 8423"] Couldn't agree more Helen. The few managers who cycle thru our building and actually put forth an effort to motivate the drivers thru inspiration rather than discipline really stand out. They aren't with us long however, being promoted from having "turned the center around". The drivers don't "dread" going to work and it shows in their performance. I'm exposed to a lot of business ideology thru my wife. She's a software analyst for a payroll company and is always listening to business related podcasts and reading CEO books etc. The reading material in the bathroom consists of [I]Inc., Forbes, Home Business[/I] etc. Consistantly, the "success" secrets reported include treating the employees as real people because of the concept: [I]They are the ones earning the numbers, you'd better have them on your side[/I]. Imagine that, treating people as you'd like to be treated is something foreign in the least successful centers. Hmm. Someone smart should put two and two together. We voted down the bonus center because of the way management has historically operated in our center. The more work you do, the more they expect. Our fear was that if we were able to do 10 hrs of work in what UPS felt was only 8hrs worth of work, eventually UPS would redefine what they considered 8hrs of work to be. Big shock when that happened, huh? After PAS, we're all an hour to an hour and a half over allowed. Feeder drivers who talk to people in nearby bonus centers reflect the same conclusion. I hope this doesn't prove to be your case when PAS is deployed. Good luck. Getting home safely everyday and doing a fair days work for a fair days pay is what it's about. Working "faster" to get a bonus puts money as the primary focus imo. If you're able to do the work faster than you had been in the past [I]without[/I] compromising safety, then that defines what a fair days work actually is and UPS is justified to expect it on a consistant basis.
