I do agree with the mechanics of it, and can see what they are trying to accomplish. I was taken back when it was projected to us as "It's been around forever & that they couldn't believe we'd never heard of it." Not long after a driver was verbally warned for being observed not following it. Later when we were in a safety meeting, we were being told how there has been a huge shift in the company where safety comes now before production. I was asked by my supervisor on how they could make the drivers believe this new ideology, my suggestion was to do away with the WOR completely, and replace it with a daily report of how safely we worked on prior days.
Somehow, I really don't think the daily OR is going anyplace other than it's always been if we run over allowed. Picked up & handed to us the next day. It reminds me of another childhood schooling, "don't do as I do, do as I say". Where we receive our pay from them, we must comply, it just feels like we get placed on thinning ice with so many double standards, which prompts one more, "Damned if you do, and damned if you don't" (sorry).
Hope everyone found a little Irish in them yesterday and had a great St. Patty's Day.
