Rush,
WHile quite funny, they really didnt answer your questions. And I am assuming you really want to know.
IE. That is who decides what amount of time you get for every small detail of your job. They take the average time it takes to finish a certain aspect and that is the time allowance you get for that job. The only thing that changes on a route are the things peculiar to your route. Like the time it takes to go through guard stations, the number of places where you have deliveries up stairs, the number of times you have to catch an elivator, number of stop signs, stop lights, and on and on. These are things that they find out about when they do your timestudy. The basics like time for a COD (more time on a res. cod than a comercial cod), call tag, and the number of packages being delivered, everybody gets the same time allowances for those.
At one time I knew what the allowances were for most of these. But time changes, and so do things I find interesting.
BAsicly, If I were a manager, and I wanted to fire someone, I would have no problem doing so.
And it was just as easy before the diad.
Main thing is(and has been mentioned several times)just do your job to the best of your ability, and all will be well.
By the way, the time allowance for the dump varries from sea level to mountain regions. This is due to the gravitational pull, more at sea level and much less here in the mountains. So our allowance is much greater than yours.
