[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2456289, member: 24302"] At a previous station had a topped out courier that, in exchange for getting his extended rt done early and helping out back in station's main city, got to stick around and be dangerous goods specialist. All the OT made him $76k the previous year(got to work all the Saturdays he wanted too). One day in his rushing around he lost focus for a second and got broadsided by a semi. I was transferring in and was asked to take over his rt. Very soon I started getting pressure to perform as well as he did. And it didn't take long to find out from customers that he cut major corners, shortcuts that got him killed. Shortcuts that management was perfectly fine with because he was helping their numbers. So much so that he worked all he wanted. So yeah, the company is often ok with what they have to know is going on, until it blows up in their face. Unless they're dimwitted. After all they had just buried one courier, and were trying to get me to do what he had done, saying I was milking the clock as the reason I couldn't match his numbers. [/QUOTE]
