[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 376450"] Its not that they don't understand drewed its that they don't have to understand. According to the contract, if they are working to the best of their ability but it doesn't make the numbers then thats all they have to do. Unfortunately, the bean counters or whatnot at UPS think they get to determine what each persons "best" is. That is why people get the attitude that your best is never good enough, because it isn't the number that the magic formula dictates. Most of the people on the preload know they only have to do their best and most of them do. So when they are to be held accountable for 224 pph or whatever it is for that particular area, most just shrug it off as us being never satisfied because 218 wasn't enough (even though it was their best). If someone has a bad day they don't ask if something was wrong or what not they immediately assume said worker was laying down on us. Sometimes that is true, but very rarely. The problem is the number is ratcheded up with no (or seemingly minimal) thought of building capabilities (capacity, old outdated belts, chutes, equipment, etc), age, and ability of the workers and the like. Plus I've heard IE say we're going beyond what is recommended sometimes and that is part of the reason we run into problems...I don't know for sure as I'm not in IE, but it makes sense to me when you try to double the amount of work sent over the belts instead of what is recommended that problems arise (damages, missorts, out of sequence PALs etc.).
