Brownie, as far as being instructed to do this or that with a specific pkg, keep track of it. Keep notes.The Otherside wrote:
Heres where you stand: you are terminated for dishonesty. Of all the topics on this board you should have read, I posted one when this contract was being ratified that explained just this scenario. Of all the training you recieved over the 3.5 years driving, where were you instructed to sheet anything away from the delivery point or sheet as closed or NI1 to avoid a 1030am commit time? Only an idiot would believe that he/she could circumvent the system designed to catch such dishonesty.
I've actually been instructed by a supervisor to sheet a package as "DR FD" that he would deliver later. I have also been given tracking numbers to key-enter and "DR FD" and "signature on paper" that were delivered hours before by the supervisor.
I have also been instructed by a supervisor to sheet 15 packages for a school at 16:45 as closed after I called in saying they would be missed. The response from the sup. was "Its closed by now, sheet them as closed" and this was far away from the delivery point.
I have to work as directed.
Over95 said 99.9% of us do the job correctly. I think he might want to revise that figure. Dishonesty runs amuck in this company and it starts at the top.
I think what Over was getting at was 99% of the union employees do their job. You can throw out the window what mgt does. We all know how honest the majority (NOTICE: I SAID MAJORITY) of them are. I do have to agree with you though, I don't think it is 99% either. There is a line between this generation ('this' being the over 40 crowd) and the next. Based on age and ethics the younger generation is, for the most part, the ones that are the runners and gunners. They are the ones that are more likely to be cheating the system whenever they can. MHO. I can't even begin to estimate the difference in numbers between this generation and the next, but I will guess that there are more of the younger generation than there are old timers. 25% old timers, 75% young 'uns. Does that sound closer?
