[QUOTE="leastbest, post: 480133, member: 1095"] In the early eighties I was given a lot of production rides. I threatened to file a grievance if I had any more rides so a week later a supervisor got in my truck and said I was having a Safety Ride. Then he pulled out a stopwatch. For the first few hours I focused strictly on safety and he'd say, "You could do this more efficiently", or something about my walk pace. Each time I'd say, don't worry about production, this is a safety ride. We were an hour behind at pickup time. He said we'd better pick up the pace for pickups. I told him not to worry about it, it was a safety ride. He went berserk and started yelling. He said, "There are no such thing as safety rides. All rides are production rides." Since then I"ve told many supervisors this story and they all agreed that all rides are production rides. What a shock. [/QUOTE]
