[QUOTE="El Morado Diablo, post: 4492085, member: 40760"] My station has always had senior couriers who've been asked to fill in for managers (vacation, training, vacant manager position, etc). None of these "volunteers" were in the ASPIRE/AIM program. They usually had no problem communicating info from Sr Mgr/Upper Mgmt, were able to manage routes & hours and make sure the AM/PM sorts went off without a hitch. Nothing a competent employee who understands the operation couldn't handle. The problem is that the OPS mgrs/Sr Mgrs always seem to find a way to make it miserable experience because they have unreasonable expectations about everything else. Most of it is OPS mgr functions that the courier in charge can't perform. Instead of being grateful for the help they nitpick and question the judgement of the "volunteers" until they refuse to fill in again. Who wants to put up with that when you aren't even being paid for stepping up to help? The common phrase you hear at our station is, "No good deed goes unpunished" anytime someone goes above and beyond to help the company. [/QUOTE]
