Managers fired

Scottyhawk

What is it? A brown box. Duh
You want me to sheet a misload other than missed, I want a message sent to the diad explaining in detail what you are asking me to do. Work as instructed take a picture of diad message, in notes of scan, as per supervisor. Oh by the way have been asked to do this a few times and requested message over the diad, no message. Sheeted missed

A lot of management do the right thing everyday, just like you guys and gals.
Yes...but a lot don't

And those that don't are often transferred or have their transgressions overlooked.

In 29 years I've never seen a manager stand up or call out other management personnel when their actions are clearly inconsistent with workplace policy. They just look the other way while records are falsified, workers harassed, intimidated or terminated without cause.

You stand by while all this dishonesty goes on and when the offending parties are finally fired, you remain silent.

Doing the right thing also means maintaining an honest, transparent management team that abides by the collective bargaining agreement and corporate guidelines.

I've had it explained to me this way - loading a damaged package on a car is the same as a misload. It should never have been put on the car. Sheeting it as missed doesn't take it off a report. It actually puts it on two reports, because it's going to be processed by the damage clerk after it was already sheeted missed. And if the clerk is doing it right, he'll put in that it was discovered on car by the driver. BUt even if he doesn't, once it gets scanned in a center, that center "owns" the damage even if it happened before it got there.

That's why they try to catch as many damages as they can in the unload. If you can process it before it gets scanned, the damage gets charged back to wherever the package was last scanned.

And yeah, sometimes you can't tell whether something is damaged by looking at the package, and sometimes packages do get damaged in the back of the car after they're loaded. But how many times have you gone to grab a package and it has the flaps caved in, half a roll of tape holding it together, and a chunk of bent metal sticking out the side? Should never have been loaded. Sheeting it as missed and then processing it as a damage means the center has to explain it to both operations and security.

...

Just because you've never seen management call each other out doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It just means it doesn't happen in front of you. Which is totally understandable. Drivers "take care of" problems between themselves privately, too, and are careful not to do it in front of management.

This is what happened...on road sups again and I think the division manager is now back to a center manager
Yes, we have a former center manager who was demoted to on-car because they were fudging delivery information. This happened a year or two ago, now they're dispatch. just by their look you can see a sociopathic person, it's really sad, actually. Crazy in their eyes, maybe drugs too. People like that just don't belong in charge of anything but to be caught cheating customers and still have a job, it's a shame.

The vast majority of damages are not known to the person loading them, however the same can't be said for misloads, which the majority of times are human error. For the most part, unless it's broken glass, or an irregular where damage is visible, damages are unknown to a loader or sorter.

Not to change the subject, but your avatar reminds me someone you'd see being interviewed on the news here. The typical resident...
