Called into the office

Be on your toes---they are up to something....

Yeah they normally won't call you into the office to say you're doing a good job if they weren't up to something. They don't like paying you to get disciplined, they sure as hell aren't going to pay to praise you. Be on alert for a while and deliver like there is always a sup watching you.

I would bet there is a company wide, corporate initiative to boost morale of drivers. Probably so the squeekers quit bitching on facebook about not being supplied with oxegen tanks and hazmat suits

Good on you, OP.

You can do the right thing and make bank at this operation.

Unfortunately there are too many young guys that don't see that.

 

[Yeet]

Maybe. And yes, it would be silly not to use the methods. For the most part, they do work. For example, if you really use 3 points of contact as the feeder drivers, it makes an obvious difference.

Hard to use 3 points of contact when I’m double fisting burgers.

You're killin it baby!

Recently got called into the office and, in the presence of a stew, showered with compliments for a series of 'outstanding' observations over the last few months. On-car couldn't stop raving about my use of the methods. I was baffled, as if we had entered the twilight zone -- 'wait, this is still UPS, right?', and chuckling about it all day long. Not just 1 sup, but before I left the building all the other on-cars in my center came up and offered praise. Wild.

For the cowards who say you get a 'target on your back' for filing grieves, let it be known I had just filed my 5th grieve in the last 5 months, and still have less than 1 year seniority, and when disciplined for late air on a route I'd never run before (wo delivering any ground!), and later, sternly reprimanded and asked to answer for a miniscule tier 1 after months of getting forced into exhausting 6 day workweeks, I've not shied from calling em like I see em.

*Disclaimer: I still don't trust mgmt lol.

Bout the funniest sheet I’ve ever heard. Believe me they got something waiting for you, if you’re being honest about the grievances. They don’t call the kiss in the office to praise them for anything, and they’re praising you? Lol.

The management rule of thumb is to "say nothing".
If you did a "great job" (-1.6 is a great job?) they normally
say nothing.

You just lost $32 (plus ot?) for that day alone...X 5 days X 52 weeks =s at least $8,300 plus ot if applicable.

File all you want. They know you're throwing away money and it's landing in their bank account.

Welcome to the kinder, gentler UPS. Probably part of an initiative to help mitigate to flood of bad publicity for how poorly they treat their heroic, essential and critical employees.

 

[Over70irregs]

They do the same for me man, I’m in the beginning of year 3 RPCD. I too have filed 3 successful 9.5 grievances and never volunteer for jack, I refuse to break a sweat unless absolutely necessary, never let them jerk me around....I just want to put in a good safe honest days work and they know that and never bother me about poor performance or anything.
You have to remember that most 0-4 guys are the accident makers who cause them serious headaches and probably affect their performance bonuses. My theory is that they simply appreciate my area knowledge and the fact that I don’t mess up their safety goals. I get slammed my 2 days like everybody else on the list but other than that they leave me alone

You can file again if they consistently slam your dispatch 2 days a week.

Except I said 1.6 overallowed, so I earned ~$33 in OT that the company thinks I 'shouldn't' have that day.

My management team is always excited about my performance. They always says to me.

"Have you looked at your number 542thruNthru!! They are unbelievable! I couldn't get those numbers if I tried!!!"

I don't know why they always scream it at me. I guess some people can't handle greatness in their presence.

Atta boy. So let's look again. You can't believe anything they say but maybe they want you to be promoted. You know theyll never lead you down the wrong path.

I don’t mind staying out late one or two nights a week. I like what I have going for now...usually end up with 48-52 hours and still home by 7 3 nights a week.

 

[Over70irregs]

Give me 40 I’ll skate.

Remember the phrase "kill them with kindness and they will wonder what you are up to?"
