[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 602209, member: 4653"] My question becomes, when do suits expect the law of diminishing returns start kicking in? There is a limit to SPORH for a given route. Yet, UPS is willing to throw good money away to up a driver's SPORH by .5 (we have driver's getting warning letters for performance of .5 less than the OJS)? I'm not a bean counter and don't know the cost breakdown of the UPS driver so I'm actually asking a question here. An increase of .5 SPORH will create about 7 more stops in production per day, on average. This would be great news to me if it were my business. The problem is, you just paid someone $1,000 to prove that I can save the company $7/per day. Then, after that he can go back to his old SPORH and it will take a ton of effort($$$$) to get him fired. I base the above on the assumption that the driver produces $1 in profit/stop and the sup. earns $1600/week. I may be way off base here, but it appears to me that UPS doesn't need any on-car supervisors if themselves spend 30 hours a week doing nothing except watch every move a driver makes?? My kid's babysitter makes $6.00/hour. If the sups. were earning this wage then I might agree with the tactic. I just want to say the problem is not the drivers. If the company thinks so then we are not going to last much longer. [/QUOTE]
