So what craziness is happening in your neck of the woods, I know they always try to cut hours after peak to try to finish the final 1/4 strong..
Everybody should slow down, get their breaks in and start bringing back packages (Dex 01’s) and let the managers explain to their bosses what went wrong.Break compliance is now strictly enforced. A month ago, though, they would only suggest you try to get a break. Now guys are getting olcc'd even though they're being sent out over stop count.
They should but don't. I go out with my number. They know not to ask me to take more.Everybody should slow down, get their breaks in and start bringing back packages (Dex 01’s) and let the managers explain to their bosses what went wrong.
And therein lies the source of the adversarial relationship between employer & employee. You end up with @59 Dano with a piece of paper from his boss that says @MrFedEx can do more because it's proven possible in Virtual Reality.Everybody should slow down, get their breaks in and start bringing back packages (Dex 01’s) and let the managers explain to their bosses what went wrong.
Customer service ended up as passe’ to upper management unless some customer loudly complained, then it was pinned on the courier.And therein lies the source of the adversarial relationship between employer & employee.

Team Concept died in the 90's when Stockholders became the end game and P-S-P became Pass-Stockholders-the Profit. The roots of the company started dying, and propping up the tree became the strategy instead of restoring a healthy root system.
Excuse me while I now step down from my soapbox.

Then explain why engineers NEVER go out on the road? Or is it because they'd would rather not know and hide behind a computer all day?Or because others have done it in the real world. No one ever wants to hear that, though, because it's hard to argue with results, so we get the VR straw man.
Don't make me laugh (even though you already did.) All the engineers are told by the regional VP's that the expectation numbers will always increase come hell or high water. They're just puppets, you know, like OPS managers.And here we are, thinking that [insert way of doing business here] is better because a courier posted on a message board that it's been proven possible in Virtual Reality.

Same thing happened at UPS when they went public in 2000And therein lies the source of the adversarial relationship between employer & employee. You end up with @59 Dano with a piece of paper from his boss that says @MrFedEx can do more because it's proven possible in Virtual Reality.

Last time I checked they don't have to get out of the seat in the Sprinter or a van for you to be able to do your job. The only thing that they will impede in a Sprinter will be getting to the bulkhead door unlock, and if they are too stupid to shimmy to the right after you put it in park and pull the keys out of the ign, they deserve the stab in the face to remind them.I wanted to accuse you of bringing that up because you know that engineers aren't fast and they'd only slow you down, thereby "proving" that expectations are too high... but you're not smart enough to think up something like that.
You're obviously not smart enough to answer my question. Dodge the real issues much?Why?

I find it amazing that people like you have such disdain for those who actually go out and do the job.I find it amazing that people who struggle with basic functions of the job have such disdain for anyone who doesn't.
