[QUOTE="35years, post: 4200723, member: 60822"] Tell me Integrity, which is moe egregious... A feeder driver who repeatedly speeds in the yard endangering his and several others' safety (after being warned several times). [B]OR[/B] A district manager who orders his center managers to work his package car drivers 14 hours a day continually for 8 straight weeks during peak because he understaffed. The 8 straight weeks of 14 hour days happened here a few years ago. 70 hour rule invoked...70 hours (in 5 days) for hundreds of drivers. Thousands of missed stops brought back daily. We had several drivers fall asleep at the wheel, I was one of them. The hundreds of drivers each had their safety put in danger working until 11 PM or later every day. Not to mention the thousands of other drivers and pedestrians they encountered. _______________________________ So which is more egregious? Should the feeder driver be fired? He endangers several. Should the district manager be fired? He endangered thousands. __________________________________ _ I personally brought up the understaffing issue with him prior to that peak season. He chose to make more money for himself rather than hire additional workers. This district manager preaches personal responsibility for safety and hands out warning letters. No solider follows a hypocrite into battle. UPS pulls telematics records to see which drivers back excessively, back first etc. Who pulls the records for district managers? [/QUOTE]
