[QUOTE="Blackstream, post: 3620614, member: 49052"] If UPS management was a big hive mind, you'd be right. But they're made up of people who care about their own interests first, and when a hub is failing and corporate is coming down on the center for not hitting their numbers and local management is scrambling to figure out how to fix the problem, and there's a non-union hourly dragging them down, they're not gonna care about the long term game plan that benefits ups as a whole, they want to fix the short term asap so they stop getting yelled at. That's when that person is at risk of getting fired. I've seen so much dumb stuff done because they're trying to just make their numbers. As a sorter, they've told us to just missort it to whatever belt I can if the belt it goes to is off just to get the volume off the belt, which results in tons of missed volume and multiple rehandle trucks. But it still apparently counts as getting volume done, so it makes them look better to their corporate overlords, so they kept doing it day after day. It's not good for the company, the customers, or the employees, but they do it anyways because it gets them yelled at less. [/QUOTE]
