[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1315347, member: 52978"] Scratch is whatever the management team wants it to be. They can pencil-whip most anything to their advantage. Back in the late 70's and mid 80's when I was in package, I ran under almost every day, and the longer I stayed on the route, the more efficient I got at it. Knew who would be home, who wouldn't. Who would accept packages for what neighbors (no driver release then). I got attaboys from my center manager most days. One day a guy showed up with a funny clipboard with a stop watch built into it. Industrial engineering. I told the guy to stay out of my way and not to touch a package. He was standing on the bottom step of my package car fiddling with his stop watch, and I ran him over. I had about 100 lbs on him. He picked himself up off the ground and immediately apologized to me. I ended up losing 1.5 hours on that time study which was unheard of. I called BS and they redid it with another guy. Got most of it back, but it just goes to show they can fudge numbers with the best of them. BTW that IE guy got fired not long after that. I don't regret mowing him over, except for the fact that I ripped the ass out of my pants from the bottom of my zipper to my belt loop when I went down. haha [/QUOTE]
