[QUOTE="twoweeled, post: 4852328, member: 27108"] I experienced much of this. I was also told, I was his personal project. I was timed at the restroom. I was then told my time in the restroom was to be considered part of my break. Took that one to the labor manager. Labor manager confirmed restroom breaks were not part of my breaks. Some sups/manager will tell you anything, when alone. Yep, they are concerned with your financial state. So true on loading you up on days you have commitments on certain days. Keep your personal life to yourself. I also had the district manager ride with me. By that time, I was callous and numb to ride along and knew the methods. You have to know the methods, if you're going to go to war with these guys. Try to get the methods in writing. That was close to impossible in my time. I wonder if you can get the actual methods in written form now? Extremely difficult to learn methods without some written documentation because very few sups know all the methods and you get different instructions. Many drivers think they can get away with cutting corners because they have good numbers. Management won't look into you when your making great numbers, but you screw up, and management will bring up all your short cuts and slice your throat with it. If management gets a good clean shot at firing you, You're done! Know your methods and just follow them. Once you know your methods, you have to throw the clock out the window (completely/totally) and just do the methods, regardless how long it takes. 2.5 hours over at the end of the day? No problem. Ride me with me tomorrow, because we're going to do this again and again the same way! 2.5 hours over. And they will ride with you a few days in a row. No problem, IF YOU KNOW YOUR METHODS! Don't concern yourself with time, go into robot mode and just go and a "safe" brisk pace. Sups pull crap like walking real real close to you. So what! Robot mode.
