[QUOTE="8 Hour Day, post: 2230260, member: 62076"] Here's the best answer I can give you. Your supervisors are expected to work as few people as possible in order to get the work done. If you're doing the work of 2 people or 3, that makes them look good. They have zero incentive to help you. They will ride you until you break & then replace you with someone else. Slow down. Work at a reasonable pace. If the belt backs up, that's the supervisor's problem to solve, not yours. So long as you're solving their problem, they have no problem to solve, and they won't. I've been here long enough to know that the only way UPS management responds is when something absolutely fails. From a driver's point of view, they keep giving you more and more Next Day Air stops until you keep having late packages. Breaking the speed limit and driving like a madman only makes your supervisor look good. The only way to get fewer Next Day Air stops is to have late Next Day Air packages. In other words, let it fail. When the supervisor has to answer for HIS failures, he'll respond. Sure, he may come down on you, but so long as you're working fairly and doing your job, you should be okay. [/QUOTE]
