[QUOTE="Mick32, post: 750964, member: 26412"] If this is the case in your center, that's a shame. I don't like doing observations any more than you like being observed, but it's a necessity. I don't know what you're doing unless I go out and take a look. Does that sometimes lead to discipline? Sure. But more often, at least from me, leads to an "attaboy" or a suggestion that the driver in question should think about changing how he does this or that. This post is all the hell over the place. Yes, I've given discipline for findings from an observation, but only after repeated "offenses" - i.e. a driver who didn't use his four-ways on two consecutive observations might get a warning letter. But usually, it's just a situation where you review the observation with the driver and instruct him what you would want him to do differently while praising what you saw that was positive. Do you sometimes "target" individuals for observations? Absolutely, but it's people who have poor safety records or have been observed riding dirty in the past, not bonus drivers. But observations need to be done on all drivers. Our center manager took a driver out of service for not wearing his belt while being observed and this was, by his own words, "my best, safest, driver". If we have 75 drivers in the center, he'd be 75th most-likely to be driving without his seatbelt or to disciplined for anything, really, and there he was driving with no belt. I'd rather we find this out from "spying" than because he, say, falls out of a moving package car. The attitude of some people here about management is so over-the-top sometimes that I almost think it's an act. [/QUOTE]
