[QUOTE="BrownBlackandBlue, post: 130799, member: 6940"] I am only suprised that the MIP factor was not reduced last year. I operate under the belief that the board wants to make our compensation more like that of other transportation companies, which requires reductions in benefits, profit sharing (MIP) and slowing of salary growth. I also operate under the belief that they do not want me to work 12-14 hours per day. (I worked those hours for 12 years). If you have read the Center of the Future directives, one of the stated objectives of the program is to reduce management hours. If you take them at their word, it is your responsibility to help implement that. A year and a half ago, I realized that this was not the same job that I originally signed up for (compensation wise). It used to have what I considered the big 3. 1. Job security 2. The MIP 3. Early retirement. I think you can agree that the 1st two are not what they used to be and the 3rd will be dealt with soon. After that realization hit me, I decided that I was no longer going to give them the 12-14 hours per day. I was going to give them the 9-10 that they expected per their COF program. (Why should they compensate me for 12-14 when they are only asking for 9?) I am a Package Dispatch Supervisor. I work 8-10 hours per day. I do my job well. I am always in the top 50 PAS sites out of 500. I prioritize carefully and am not afraid to roll tasks over to the next day. Most importantly, I do not do things that are not my job. I do not do tasks that belong to the driver sups, the manager, or the OMS'. I say no. In fact, they do not ask me to do them anymore. If I am held over for a meeting, the manager and Division manager are always watching the clock to make sure I can leave in a timely fashion. My point is this: Everyone assumes they have to work the long hours to get the job done. But I don't think most have tried it the other way. Yes other parts of the operation may suffer if your hand is not in it, but that is not your responsibility any more. Your responsibility is to do your job well and let your manager worry about the rest of it. Yes, it goes against our old culture, but the old ways are gone and it is time to adjust, otherwise there is only bitterness. [/QUOTE]
