[QUOTE="Griff, post: 287569, member: 7111"] This is where I have a big time problem with you, UPS Lifer. You are still talking as if you're behind the desk in your office or in the middle of a PCM. The reality of the situation is that UPS wants people to skip their lunch, a lot of people are dispatched with it in mind. The company knows who runs and skips their breaks and they are dispatched accordingly. I have covered too many routes and know too many drivers personally. I know who skips and runs and their route always reflects it. Meanwhile the people who don't run and take their entitlements are harassed, scrutinized and routinely overly supervised. This is the UPS way and it has to be stopped one center at a time. Enough is enough, take your lunch everyday, it's YOUR time and it's part of this job. "Good intentions don't go unnoticed or unfulfilled." -- This quote sickens me on many levels. You are flatout telling this guy that skipping his lunch puts a star on his jacket in the eyes of management. Yet you're gonna sit here and tell everyone that you don't condone drivers skipping their lunch. Can you be anymore full of crap? How exactly would you reward him for skipping his lunch like a good peon, UPS Lifer? You're retired and still talking out of both sides of your mouth, give it a rest. "Most have walked in your shoes" -- No, most haven't walked in our shoes and that's where most of these problems are stemming from. You can't manage or supervise a job that you've never done yourself and in some cases can't do. [/QUOTE]
