[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 4825948, member: 17867"] Yes, same center manager (long gone now) who wanted me operate car with no signals tried get me sheet closed business after 1700 as NI1 (resi). Today what I see mostly is management wanting to blame every single service failure from October to April as “weather”. If there is one snowflake on the ground any place in our state they figure they can use weather. Mislead for another town on a sunny day? ECD Got 20 stops left at 2130? ECD (We are not required to continue delivering after 2130 in our local.) Business is closed and you got there too late beucase you didn’t know it business and you followed trace? ECD!! Apparently over dispatching, misleading, and poor traces are all meteorological event!!🤣🤣 This is where “WAD” is out the door in my opinion. “Work as Directed” is a great fallback right up until you are directed to do something unsafe, dishonest, or illegal. If it’s simply “stupid” I’ll do it if management insists it’s probably putting money in my pocket. Anytime I refuse to WAD on these grounds, management has always argued fiercely than backed off. Lot of people will just ECD em all if that’s what management wants, I get it they just don’t want to hassle with management. But if weather is not really the cause we are lying to the customer. Remember everything good we get from working here comes to us because of the customers. Not from management or even the union. So I refuse to lie to the customers. At some point perhaps I’ll get disciplined for it, it would be interesting going to panel for refusing to be dishonest. [/QUOTE]
