[QUOTE="35years, post: 2916039, member: 60822"] Has anyone, anywhere ever been fired for not meeting the supposed "lock in" ride numbers? No! For stealing time by purposely not being efficient? Yes. It is all just a game. If you are doing your job at a reasonable effort level you will not be fired for production. Very few drivers steal time by not giving a fair days work, far less than management harasses about production. Don't accept their numbers as reflecting reality, because they are manipulated. Give a good effort every day and let the harassment roll off your back like water. I used to run a route where I was over allowed by 1+ hour everyday for over a decade! We had another driver that was over by 2-3 hours everyday for years on end. Neither of us would accept their numbers as valid. Both of us gave our best everyday. Neither of us were ever disciplined for production. I now run a route that I am under allowed on everyday. Am I faster than before? NO. Allowances will never be accepted by the union because they are manipulated and inaccurate to begin with. "Lock in" rides are easy for any BA or competent steward to refute. [/QUOTE]
