[QUOTE="soberups, post: 861546, member: 14668"] Its called "tough love" and its often just as tough on the person giving it as it is on the one receiving it. The overwhelming majority of service issues at UPS are self-inflicted. They have nothing to do with issues that are beyond the company's control, and everything to do with the impossible expectations that are placed upon us by those who claim to "manage" us. We can complain to management until we are blue in the face, but most of the time they either cannot or will not listen. Often times, the only way we can force them to start making rational decisions is to allow an impossible situation to fail. When the conseqeunces of that failure (service failures, missed stops etc.) cant be hidden or are too painful to ignore, the necessary changes will eventually be made. When we "prop up" an impossible situation by skipping our lunches or making dispatch decisions with other drivers via cell phone, we are enabling that situation to continue. In a perfect world it wouldnt be this way, and as drivers we would be able to bring our concerns to the attention of a rational decision maker who had the power to solve the problem. But there arent any rational decision-makers available at the center level any more, and it is a complete waste of time to complain to a puppet. [/QUOTE]
