Shifting Contents,Haven't heard of more than TWO being issued in the last month to FT's in my center (85 drivers) so I say no. At least not into division.
There are no management quotas for warning letters.
They simply do not exist.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a minimum number that if they don't reach it say 4-5 months in a row then their boss starts pressuring them as to if they are doing their jobs properly.
Shifting Contents,
The quantity of warning letters issue is irrelevant to whether there is a stated quota.
Quotas are not always met.
The management employees that are required to meet these quotas would be the first place to look for proof of their existence.
Do you have proof that these quotas do not exist?
Sincerely,
I
There is NO quota for warnings letters.... But there is a requirement to give warning letters.
Let me explain.... We BOTH created a system that requires warning letters.
If I owned my own business, I could fire employees at will for the most part. I don't have to warn you or suspend you. If I don't like your behavior I can fire you without extensive documentation. (again, for the most part)
UPS and the Teamsters came up with the system of progressive discipline. That is a good thing. It protects the employee. With the exception of cardinal sins, I cannot fire you without warning and I cannot fire you unless there is repeated violation of the same behavior. Again, this is good.
But.... That means that I also cannot say that I'm firing you because of repeated offenses without documenting those offenses....
I'm forced to document everything.
As strange as it sounds, warning letters are the byproduct of a system designed to protect the employee. "You are warned, don't do this again".
Its required documentation, no more than that.
unlike us production is in their contract. They have to produce and since they can't make us money they have to drive us like slaves. Republican are what management is. Doesn't this say it all???To all UPS Management Employees,For Discussion:In the UPS Discussions Sub Forum it has been said that management has a quota of warning letters that they are required to generate on a monthly basis.Any comments on this statement?Sincerely,I

Hmm, then I wonder what you call a Republican driver......as there are quite a few of us.

That's very true. We had an overly zealous union steward (sadly, his 12th termination stuck) who was a die-hard Republican. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, but I'm amazed at the number of UPS drivers who seriously believe they'd earn the same compensation package should there be no union. You'd be surprised on what others think of driver compensation... do a Google search. We even lost a major shipper -- up to 30K UOW some days -- because the owner felt UPS drivers earned too much, inflating shipping costs. They came back when they began D.B.A. QVC, but quickly bolted to FedEx when QVC greenlighted FedEx as an option for some of its "suppliers."
