[QUOTE="35years, post: 1986205, member: 60822"] If you have made seniority it is time for you to [B]STOP looking at the under/over numbers.[/B] I have not even seen my over/under numbers in over 10 years. Guess what happens when you concentrate on doing the job safely and properly with the same effort 100% of the time... They leave you alone because nothing they do or say to you changes your behavior. They eventually stop over dispatching you because you automatically file 9.5s every time. The harassment won't affect you because you know you are already doing it the right way (not the way they sometimes want). Believe me, I was a runner-gunner for 10 years. Your body will not hold up over a long career if you play the production game. Retrain yourself to move in the way that causes the least stress on your body, and not just the safe work methods. For example... Do you pivot you body before standing up from your seat? Do you use two hands to buckle-in (passing the seat belt from one to the other)? Do you step off the vehicle without pounding your foot on the ground? Do you set the boxes on the step before stepping off yourself? Do you refuse to pull a heavily loaded cart up/down stairs, unloading it if necessary? Do you grasp/hold packages without clinching/squeezing with your hands (avoid the Vulcan death grip). How you do these motions and 100+ others will determine if you will have the option of making it all the way to retirement at UPS without being essentially crippled. [/QUOTE]
