Management Focusing on Numbers

Mr.Blonde

Only way outs inna box
Just wondering if anyone here is under the microscope. Got pulled into the office Monday morning for a little talkie talk about their stupid metrics. I haven’t changed anything about how I’m doing my job but all of a sudden I am over allowed every day. The crazy thing is I am not on the 9.5 list right now. In the past I was, I filed a ton of grievances for being over and they never said anything about my numbers. What is going on?
They are doing their rituals here too. Fired a guy for talking to a customer about chairs. Said he shouldve clocked out for the 2min conversation. Although this was just another love letter he has earned for his outstanding performance on sandbagging.

You ever heard the expression, "you don't have to outrun the bear, just some of the people around you."
Follow the methods. Follow the orion, don't cut miles. Running less miles won't make you look good on paper. Keep moving, cut down on talking too long with customers.
Self analyze yourself, don't wait for discipline to point out what things you can improve on.

A supervisor walked up to me again this morning with a piece of paper in hand. Says, “Hey can we chat for a minute?“ I said, ”With a shop steward present, yes.” He rolled his eyes and walked away. Came back 15 minutes later with a steward when I was about to leave center.

”You were 46 minutes over allowed yesterday.” I just said, ”Okay..?” He went on, “This is the sixth day in a row you’ve been over by more than a half hour.” (( they recently laid off the bid driver that works in the area next to me and permanently cut his route )) I told him that I was covering a larger area than normal and I’ve taken on an additional 25+ stops per day. He says, “We account for all of that. Can you tell me what you were doing for almost 20 minutes after 1600?“

I don’t have pick ups on my route anymore and I rarely get an on-demand, but I happened to get one yesterday and it was next day air. I told this idiot that I was dropping my on-demand air with the driver next to me who now has all my old pick ups. He grabs NDA from a bank every day so he has to go to our loop’s air drop, meaning I saved time by giving it to him because he is closer than our drop location. When I finished explaining myself I asked, “Did your metrics account for that?” This jerk replies, “That shouldn’t have cost you twenty minutes. Were you guys shooting the breeze?”

My shop steward could see I was getting agitated, he intervened and said “You’re grilling him over time, something we don’t have right now. Do you want to continue this nonsense or would you like late air? Because thats what you’re gonna get if we don’t get out of here now.” I politely asked this wonderful supervisor to come out on road with me anytime and show me how it’s done. To my surprise he said they were going to arrange it. This clown has less than 3 months behind the wheel of a package car, I have 7 years. I guess we will see how it goes when I follow the methods and run my route in trace. I’m not gonna let this guy cut corners, I will own this fool.
