That would be the day when an hourly driver would be paid all day to watch drivers in our building. Mgmnt wouldn't do it and if they did the guy might end up in a dumpster behind the building.
The other thing that bugs me is that we were not informed in advance. They should have explained what they were doing and why.
I hope no one figures out who I am. As for people following me around? Have at it, I say. I do the joband I may not go absolutely by "the methods", but the job gets done. By that I mean the pkgs get delivered, no one gets killed/pissed at me and I get home safely. Usually, the only people that I know of that don't like to be followed, are the ones that have something to hide. For instance, if you're yapping on the cell phone all day or driving like an idiot. Other than this, you really have nothing to worry about. BTW, if you are yapping on that phone all day, you may want to consult a therapist. I think you may have some sort of independence issue. And to the guy/gal that thinks cutting in and out of traffic and other maniacal driving is how we get the job done, think again. That's how people die and jobs get lost. Remember, Every car you pass and person you speak to is a potential sales lead. Don't give these people a bad first impression! Nuff Said!!!..............sorry for the rant.
come on stevie i see you running up nw federal highway with that bulkhead door wide open,what happened with not locking that tp60 and everything getting stolen when you came back to pick it up at the mall
UPS has a perfect right to monitor my work. As much as a forman in a factory has a right to look on to see if work is being performed properly. I don't have a problem with that as long as they keep paying me.
The thing that sticks in my craw is having the head of the safety committee riding along with the business manager as he did in our center. He is not in a management position and therefore has no right in my mind to monitor my work. Who is monitoring HIS work? There is some sort of conflict there in my mind.
The other thing that bugs me is that we were not informed in advance. They should have explained what they were doing and why. I get to the stop sign at the end of the road from our center and there are the business manager and the safety committee guy sitting in a car a few hundred yards off, apparently watching to see if we come to a complete top and look left right left. If the boss wants to watch me without telling me in advance and he is by himself or with other management that's fine! It doesn't seem right for him to do so with one of my peers in the car with him. It just doesn't pass the smell test.
I concur.The safty people don't need to cross the line with actions that may cause discipline.If they want a tie, put the letter in..Safty committee should give non-disciplned advice only...after that pursue reward basis for good safty behavior..
Just curious, and not looking to start a war, but what difference would that have made?
I just think that if the boss was to explain what they were doing and why it wouldn't appear to be so underhanded.
Would you have been doing anything differently knowing that you may/may not be observed?
Actually (and I'm not perfect) I try to do my job as though I was being observed.
Sounds like someone is a real butt hole here steve. Dont you just love these guys that are keyboard cowboys but would never say this to our face!Considering the fact that I don't deliver to the mall, I think you need to think before you post. And the last time I left my bulkhead door open en route to my route was a long time ago. As I said in my post, "I do the job and I may not go absolutely by "the methods". Did you read that part or forget your glasses. I never said I was perfect, just that I don't fear being followed. Get it straight next time before making a fool of yourself.

Takes a real man to post that here. Just curious, have you ever said this to his face?
