We have had a drastic change in management over the past several months. New building manager, the preload manager is gone and the old center manager is now the preload manager. Our old full time sup is now the center manager. New dispatch people. I think one of our old preload sups who became an on-road is now back in preload. When people come into a new position, they tend to repeat the same mistakes their predecessors did- or so it seems, at UPS.
A little while ago someone started playing around with preload start times. Our building volume was "light", so we got a later start time by about 10 minutes or so. Then, they started customizing start times per person based on the routes you loaded. Management couldn't keep up with all of this so they took us back to a regular start time. Now we're starting at 3:50 except on Monday's we start at 4:05. 3:50 is earlier than before, yet the sort is still going down super late (8 - 8:20), probably because trailers are still arriving late.
Nobody can figure anything out around here. As far as I know, this building has a hard time meeting its production ... "requirement", or whatever you want to call it. We also apparently fail our ketter audits all the time. But, we're treated well here compared to what I read on this forum, so I don't really have too much to complain about.
