[QUOTE="Sissy Brown Short Shorts, post: 5507240, member: 67435"] UPS finds some weird ways to fire people. What does padding stops do anyways? I rarely have seen dispatchers change routes radically based on stop counts. It’s just based on the days deliveries on what gets cut to other drivers. Orion already has the delivery times and RTB pre-calculated before you leave in the morning. I don’t see how it affects anything if the time window is still being made. Scanning a second piece adds 5 seconds to the day. An old route I ran had 100 apartment units and everything went to a locker, the previous driver would scan all 40-80 pieces as one delivery and I would break it all down by apartment unit and scan each as it’s own stop. Nothing was ever said about it. We’re headed into recession and business has been slow. My building has fired three drivers in the last two weeks for the most moronic reasons I’ve ever seen. All three have 10+ years in and no history of discipline. All three got their jobs back. They’re trying to thin the herd before quarterly economic reports come out. Get ready for hiring freezes and disciplinary crackdowns. It doesn’t help that our union doesn’t fight any of these bogus claims and instead of getting the record wiped clean they always negotiate down to a 1 day rip or warning letter. All that does is allow the company to come back later at some point with something else and jump ahead in the punishment ladder towards termination. [/QUOTE]
