[QUOTE="Star B, post: 2903570, member: 61246"] Nope, even I, as a swing swinging in the wind (aka not filling in for the same route for a month), have been seeing them. I view "Gap Reports in your box for ANY percent under 100%" as harassment and unsafe work practices. Why? Get Joe NewCourierNoBalls. He starts getting daily gap reports and he's doing the best he can. What is he going to do? He's probably going to start taking shortcuts. Running, improper lifting, speeding.. you name it. He doesn't know how to improve his route because he can't control the exterior forces at work. Namely... traffic. Even the experienced couriers get caught by traffic or an unknown force. Maybe they want to take a couple extra minutes to talk to a customer about more business. Maybe someones pissed off that ground sucks. Maybe the courier had the :censored:s that day after some bad KFC... who knows? Having said that... I have no problems with management pulling a route courier aside and going "hey, you ran 90-95% all week last week... what gives?" Don't bust my balls for one day out of a week of over 100% service unless that one day was totally in the :censored:ter... but then you'd probably know why cuz I'd have told you. [/QUOTE]
