[QUOTE="Richard Harrow, post: 759198, member: 29614"] Firstly, I never ask for help. Now I know you may find that unbelievable, but it's the truth. I give them my ETA based on the amount of work that [I]they[/I] dispatched me with, if they are unhappy with the ETA, then the onus is on them to get me in earlier, but you'll never catch me requesting assistance. I work at the same speed every day, regardless of what route I'm doing and I have no reservations about working past dark, so load me up if you want to, cause I'm your man! Two, because I never ask for help, 98% of the time I refuse to help anyone else. If I'm told that I must, it's one thing because it's on me to work as directed. But those cute little messages like "can you take 10 off of so and so" get a big fat "NO" if I have been dispatched with at least 8 hours of work. Three, if I do have to go out of my way to help you, your a-double-s better be back in the building before me, because otherwise it's a waste of my time. If I have to cut into what should be my personal time to come help you, you better make it worth my effort and get done before I do. My OP had nothing to do with having others help you. The point is UPS will screw you if given the opportunity. For example, if your route takes out exactly 120 stops in an 8 hour day and you request that 8 hour day, come in and see that you have 126 and you get that done in 8 hours, guess whose optimum stop count just increased by 6 stops? These people will go out of their way to get over on you. My OP was another way of saying "call out if you really need to be out of work early". I'm sorry if it went over your head. [/QUOTE]
