[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 505947, member: 9789"] It is interesting to see this thread develop! Someone decided that if all the "runners and gunners" BTW - (sidetrack) Where I came from drivers who were under-allowed were called "Producers" so I kind of chuckle when I hear runner/gunner (sorry!). Similar to calling a non producer a "slug" or "in the hole". I went to another district and the term was "in the weeds". Anyway.... Do you really think that getting the gunners to slow down is going to keep drivers from being laid off? These gunners are keeping stops off you drivers that are complaining you are working over 9.5 hours!!! Just check out the other threads. With out them you get more work. Do you really think the company can afford to add drivers during this depression? BTW - It ain't a recession!! LOL! Just look around at the closed businesses and empty homes. If the delicate balance starts swinging the wrong way - The company starts MAJOR layoffs. Performance is a bell curve. You have slugs on one side (2 hours over) and average drivers at the top (scratch + -) and gunners (2 hours under) on the other side. If you start moving the curve down the sliding scale of performance the company starts losing millions and millions.... just one tenth is HUGE! I don't know... maybe it is because I am sitting on the sideline but I would be happy that I have a paycheck and can feed my family. These are the most unusual of times. You can feel bad for the next guy and pray they find work but be glad your company is not sitting on the verge of annihilation like GM. Can you imagine a situation where a company pays employees to sit at home during a layoff. Now the entire workforce of GM is in jeopardy and without our help they would all be sitting at home. Where is the outrage of the drivers (slugs) who are stealing from you on the other end? Maybe all drivers should give up one or two days of pay a week to allow the drivers who are laid off to work? How do you think that would go over? Sorry - I can't feel bad about you guys complaining about runners. KARMA Here is the thing - gunners and slugs will take care of themselves. They will get what is coming to them. Go out and do a fair days work for a fair days pay and you will get what is coming to you. It's all good! [/QUOTE]
