It doesn’t matter what he/she does when the company uses idiotic benchmarks like “stops per hour” and courier hours as its currency. It pretty much eliminates all accountability on their part. I don’t think you realize just how easy managers have it at this company compared to others.
What type of pieces beyond the DG are we speaking?
How could you play poker, then?
I believe dano would replace lost revenue from the account with reduced hours on the schedule. If so, he is a reactive, rather than a proactive manager.
Did I say couriers are equipped to run a station? I said courier experience would help a mgr understand better what's going on and have a basis for decisions he makes about routes, etc. Your theory seems to be that courier work is entry level work that anyone can do and any mgr can easily supervise because there's really not much to it. At one station I had a mgr who felt he could remove a courier out of our loop and the rest of us could easily divide his route up. Not temporarily but permanently. He ultimately got fired for too many mistakes but not before he put us through a lot of misery. It's tough trying to be respectful when talking to someone who clearly doesn't understand what we're dealing with as he heaps on more and more work. And talks to us as if we're slackers. I went from getting an hour lunch in the middle of the day to getting a half hour in after 1630 to as late as 1730 and running like a maniac to get that. One senior courier was actually calling up the director. The mgr eventually got fired. And this wasn't an isolated case. Saw a lot of this over the years. I also saw some damn good mgrs too. In many different stations, districts, and regions.
Then enforce SPH - duh!
Managers have a risk of weight gain from sitting in their office excessively. And hemorrhoids! Yikes!...Lately management has been on our asses about this gap report crap, when we have mandatory commercial and bad address same day reattempts which brings down SPH and creates these gaps..You constantly have to be defending yourself which is quite bothersome.
If only they had previous experience as couriers, they wouldn’t have to ask such asinine questions.
It really does roll downhill...hemorrhoids get on their asses, they get on your asses. Conclusion...mgrs are hemorrhoids.
Agreed, I noticed my bad math, the questions are the same nonetheless.
Why's that? Because I lack the mettle to sit behind a desk and justify my existence all day a la FedEx management?
Did I say management just did paperwork?
