[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 920732, member: 12508"] If it is in the employee's best interest, it would be guaranteed to never happen. Once again, another example of how little management knows about the actual work we do and the problems we encounter. I've spent enough time in Memphis to know how oblivious most engineers and upper management are to the courier job. Very few came up through the ranks, and if they were ever a courier it was 20 years ago when the job was quite different. To them, we simply drive around and drop-off packages. They don't take variables into account, and their "planning" shows their obvious lack of understanding about the many obstacles we encounter every day. Their world is one of reports and spreadsheets, where the basic goal is to increase efficiency however possible. That's why we get so many "brilliant" rules, policies, and procedures to help us be more productive. Nobody realizes that the really good couriers actually know what they are doing and disregard most of what they are taught in courier school or by management. They provide us with defective equipment, and then don't adjust performance expectations accordingly. Completely clueless. [/QUOTE]
