[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 517399, member: 4653"] Hey Bigblu, If UPS were to say "run scratch or you're fired" then 99% of the drivers would be fired. Then UPS would have to replace 99% of its drivers and the employees they replaced them with would be 10 times worse at best. In other words, it would never happen. They can ride you and push production and try to squeeze another .3-.5 out of your already productive and efficent SPOHR. However, my guess is you wouldn't even recieve a warning letter unless the difference was very significant and drastic. If that were the case, I think I would be more embarassed at my job performance than being concerened about disipline. Its almost a fact that your SPOHR will increase with a manager riding with you for three days. I liken it to a jockey whipping his horse. If he's not whipped he won't run as fast. Problem is, UPS drivers operate in the real world where customer contact is a neccessity. When the manager is with you, customer contact is reduced to hi and goodbye, lol. My opinion is this is NOT the way to interact with our customers if UPS expects the drivers to have that "great relationship" that will generate sales leads. It kind of irritates me that UPS wants it both ways. The supervisor will breathe down our necks on 3-day rides to prove a number suitable to him, but on every other day he wants us talk with our customers to generate leads, shuttle other driver's airs back to the hub, and deliver misloads miles out of the way. All of these things happen everyday and add to our over allowance yet they are not allowed to happen on OJS's. It doesn't seem fair to me? [/QUOTE]
