[QUOTE="gadistrict, post: 57066"] Do you guys seriously think it is so simple for the business (center) manager to just add drivers to help alleviate over-dispatched routes? Or to implement new permanant routes? All center mgmt teams have to do as their instructed from the district level mgmt, just like drivers have to from their center mgmt team. There are a lot of politics involved and many decisions are made from people who only see the numbers. It isn't just a matter of the center mgr realizing that he/she needs to add some routes. I'm not saying that it is the right way of doing things, but that is how it is done. That is how it always has been done and always will be. That is how the corporation game is played all over the world, it isn't fair but we must all deal with it. I will admit that there are a lot of shady on-road supervisors and center mgrs out there. I think it is because they feel pressured to over-achieve statisically speaking. That and they want to show off to their district manager so that they can get some promotion/brownie points. By the way, there are still audit teams floating around checking up on management. I can tell you from personal experience. Wasn't a pretty site for one of my on-roads, and he paid the price for what he was doing. With the implementation of PAS/EDD there are a lot of drivers that are getting...for a lack of better words, screwed. We (mgmt) know this. But we are told from mgmt high up above us that this is just a temporary stage and that it will get better. I understand where you guys are coming from, but I guess what I'm really trying to say is that it is not as easy as you think it is for your center management to change things. And since you drivers dont have the pleasure of hearing these wonderful conference calls, let me asure you that there are plenty of center managers screaming about over dispatched routes on behalf of the drivers. It does the ctr mgmt team no good to have angry and sometimes hostile drivers from being over dispatched and not being able to go home. We can get more done from a happy and cooperative group of drivers than we can from a frustrated one. Some things are just out of our control.... [/QUOTE]
