[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 57767"] I guess it depends on the definition of immoral or unethical. When upper management sends down the intentfully dishonest order to boost already tight standards so a good driver who was already averaging an hour over allowed (use to be under allowed, but standards were [i]tweaked[/i] and then he was scratch for a long time until standards were [i]tweaked[/i] again, no time studies involved in any of this) to 1.5 hours over allowed do you call that unethical or immoral? I would. All know they have eliminated fair 8 hour requests with the ridiculously dishonest standards being imposed and that it takes on road contractual overides to bring them in on time. The local management knows what can be really done in the 8 hours, but sending the driver out with that will show him/her severely underdispatched on the computer stats the next day which they will have to take in the shorts on the conference call and so they have to send the drivers out purposefully overdispatched and then "rescue" them. Same with 9.5 issues. When they do this for entire centers the supes walk around during dispatch rolling their eyes and muttering under their breaths [i]this is ridiculous[/i], but only under their breaths, because they want to keep their own job. You are correct in that UPS has strengthened paths that one can take for overt unethical or immoral acts and that is laudable, but I doubt if these recourses you are referring to would view standards as such, right? Of course not, somewhere they can show how these standards are justifiable [i]in a computer[/i]. Just like they could when the driver was .5 over, scratch and .5 under. [/QUOTE]
