[QUOTE="FracusBrown, post: 766124, member: 29360"] It's economics. Where there is little to do to make money, the pace is typically slower. Time is money. Where your time has higher value (meaning you can make more money) the pace is faster. Where your time is of little value (nothing or not much to do to make money) the pace is slower. If you live in an area where you can only make $50 in a day by doing the work that can be done in 4 hours, there is no hurry to get it done. If you take all day you still earn $50. If you live a place where you can make more money be repeating the same work over and over, the pace is faster as you have the ability to earn more by going faster. If you work fast and don't waste time you can make $150 or more in a day. To make more, you can't talk slow, walk slow, eat slow, or waste time. Money is the incentive. At UPS the principal doesn't have much effect, because there is always an abundance of work regardless of locale. I have heard that it's more difficult to get people going at a brisk pace in the deep south as it's part of the culture, though. [/QUOTE]
