[QUOTE="oldupsman, post: 2751128, member: 42268"] As a retiree I'm glad you still care. I used to have the same attitude. And I actually butted heads with management sometimes because I cared more than they did about service instead of their silly numbers. Maybe you remember remote delivery. It only lasted about a year. Because it was really a stupid idea. Long story short, I refused to do it. Had no reason too. Called me into the office one day and told me I had to actually start skipping stops and start recording them as remote. If I didn't I would face the dreaded "disciplinary action." Looked the IE guy right in the eye and said, "So you're going to discipline me for delivering packages. That will make a great headline in the WSJ. Driver fired for doing his job. I'm not doing it. Do what you want." And never heard another word. center manager came down to my car before I left that morning and thanked me for standing up. Said "Everybody knows it's a stupid idea except IE." Remote ended as a policy soon after. [/QUOTE]
