[QUOTE="soberups, post: 783971, member: 14668"] What you are describing is far from new. It is basically a recycled version of the Management By Commitment philosophy that UPS employed back in the 1980's. The only real difference is that improvements in technology (DIADS, PAS, EDD, Telematics, GPS etc.)have created more elements that can be measured and then micromanaged. At the end of the day it all boils down to the same thing; a fear and intimidation-based philosophy where reality means nothing and the only thing that matters is generating arbitrary and meaningless metrics.
