You know, that's an easy thing to say, but the "stupidity" is becoming the new culture cultivated by corporate. They're either causing it or allowing it to continue. They're definitely not fixing it.
I never said CONSPIRACY, that's your word. I said HYPOCRISY. Corp folks aren't held to as high of a standard as district operations folks. If you don't get a report fixed by the end of the day you put your stuff away and go home anyway. We stay until every last package is delivered no matter what (which can get pretty late because of stupid SPC edicts). Why not tell JF that he can't go home until his report is accurate?
I don't think you would agree with that last statement if you were in my seat.
Ov/Un is king now. We kept performance as king and added a bunch of co-kings, each with their own report that is slightly wrong. We also added about 80 emails a day.
Working with drivers and direct responsibility for their results are very different things. Anyone ever get terminated or demoted for sending out a bad query? They have for missing an air bag. It's only an air bag, one out of hundreds. Everyone should be ok with it since it's a small number compared to the total. Makes sense to me since this is the logic used in not fixing the pickup compliance report.
What are you doing to change it?

That's because all is well from behind his rose colored, report driven, cyber matrix, fantasy world.
He is the managerial "Spin Doctor" for the Brown Cafe.
He'll tell you how in touch he is.
People in his position are told what they want to hear.
This thread was started and propagated by a member of management.
A front line "manager", or should I say facilator?
Someone who is operating in the real world.
It's been a breath of fresh air.

I guess I'm not sure how to respond anymore...
I've explained both sides of the story. I've said that I manage appropriately REGARDLESS of this report. On a QPR, its meaningless and especially with the new QPR system does not affect anyone's raise.
You choose to not care and only pick and choose facts. Its easier to complain. So be it.
Just make pickups within 15 or 30 minutes of pickup time. I've said that that is not efficient, not that its not possible. Operations today are not tougher than they were 30 years ago. Of course there are more reports to manage, but back then we didn't even have the reports. We had to gather the information ourselves and manually complete QPR's and spec sheets.
This conversation has become stale, and I'm not in the greatest mood. So, just do the job. Make the pickups within the window. Why is that so hard?
