[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1561121, member: 7966"] Occasionally a blind pig can find an acorn. I was a bonus coordinator and involved in Bonus administration and auditing. Since I am retired, I think I can safely relay why UPS was so big on Bonus back 30 -50 years ago. Simply, it was to get pickup volume back into the twilight sorts and center reloads so the volume could be processed by the scheduled pull times. This was when P/T made as much as friend/T drivers so the financials were positive for Bonus. Now it is more cost-effective to hire more P/T at 1/3 the friend/T rate and run a more time-compressed sort. That along with the fact that centers are measured as cost centers than production centers takes a lot of the lipstick of the bonus pig. I doubt if UPS is trying to get Bonus voted in anymore and once it is voted out, it will be gone for good. I think this is reflected from the posts [/QUOTE]
