I don't sign OJS's. You don't have to. You can't be instructed to. Whatever comments and numbers are on that paper are just semantics, you do your job safely and properly with UPS methods, you'll never have a problem.
I think I knew I didn't have to sign 'em. It kept the suits happy, which at the time was all I cared about. Then again.....I was known to tell a suit to stuff it when I felt particularly insulted. When I was working in Illinois, I had a security supe (I'll call him Bozo) come around and do a package handling audit on me. At the time, I was sorting on a different area, an unloader I'd never worked with before and getting my A&% handed to me--in spades! Anyway....Bozo had the cajones to come up and do this package handling audit on me. I saw him coming but paid him no mind. When he turned the clipboard for me to sign, I asked what I was signing for. He said, "A package handling audit." I shrugged and asked where I was. He tapped his finger on the line and I traced it back to where he'd written in 40% (handled correctly). I didn't think the number was right and checked it again. I grunted, almost threw his clipboard back at him and said, "I'm not signing that! That's inaccurate! I don't sign inaccurate, let alone insulting pieces of paperwork. I'm busting my A&% up here! Audit these other sorters and come back if you still want me to sign that. In the meantime, RTS it. If that's a problem, get my full-timer up here!" He was flabbergasted and babbled something about customer service, quality of work, etc, etc. I ignored him. Never heard a word about it from anyone. Two weeks later, I saw him coming back. I thought to myself, "Terrific. Round 2, Bozo?" He audited me again, all right. He turned the clipboard to me and it said 85% (handled correctly). I said, "85%? C'mon." He flashed a Cheshire cat smile and said, "Yeah. That's because I know you can do better." I didn't like it but signed it. I couldn't resist, "Ya saw I was right, didn't ya?" His face contorted and he beat a very, very hasty retreat. I didn't have another problem with Bozo (or any other poorly conducted audit). -Rocky
