[QUOTE="soberups, post: 763507, member: 14668"] 1. Get involved with your local union. 2. Invest in quality boots. Dont wear cheap tennis shoes. 3. Take your lunch and breaks, even if it means service failures. Its their dispatch, let them solve the problem. 4. Learn to draw healthy boundaries. Dont enable. Force your management team to accept the consequences of their poor decision making rather than helping them put a BandAid over the problem by taking shortcuts or skipping your lunch. 5. Be 100% honest in everything you do. If you screw up...admit it. Lying [B]will [/B]get you fired, honest mistakes wont. 6. Remember that management has their [B]own[/B] best interests at heart, not yours. 7. Remember that the "time study" for your route was never intended to be fair or realistic in the first place. It was intended to create a "standard" that you can only meet by working off of the clock. Dont buy in to the scam. Its just a number, it doesnt mean anything, and if they dont like it they can fix it themselves. 8. Place your safety, and the safety of the public, before everything else. People are more important than packages. [/QUOTE]
