[QUOTE="GSO_Dave, post: 260504, member: 12552"] [LEFT]Comments on this "essay"? This is something I wrote regarding my performance. I have been told that I am about to be placed on "working termination".[/LEFT] [SIZE=2]1. Two mis-sorts out of 1,000 loads percentage: two tenths of one percent. 2. Eight mis-sorts out of 5,500 loads percentage: 29/200th of a percent. 3. Sixteen mis-sorts out of a month, est. 20,000 loads percentage: less than one tenth of one percent (0.08). 4. One hundred eighty mis-sorts out of a year, est. 240,000 loads percentage: three quarters of one tenth of one percent. In one year, say 85% of my mis-sorted packages were late. That percentage of the total packages processed is six and three eights of one hundredth of one percent. Now, I work approximately 25 hours a week. For peak season averaging, we'll say 1400 hours a year. Three days would equal slightly more than 15 hours. The percentage of 15 hours out of 1400 hours is: 1 and almost one tenth of one percent. Looking at the worst percentage of mis-sorts, two tenths of one percent, versus being penalized at over one percent, I believe that the penalty grossly outweighs the "mistakes" made during the mis-sorts. The multiple for the penalty versus the actual is close to 50 times. So, looking at the above, *. **** and the management at UPS-Greensboro feel that fair punishment is fifty times that of the actual mistake. [COLOR=navy]My mis-sorts are most likely significantly less than the example above, yet I am being penalized out of proportion to the actual mistake.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]Others are as well[/COLOR], this needs to be stopped. If workers were getting one percent mis-sorts, then the punishment would fit. Otherwise, it does not. Let's look at "technology". UPS has, in its operation, technology to prevent almost all mis-sorts. Yet, it does not implement this technology in our hub. Technology is used to prevent misloads, packages entered into the system as going to the wrong place - when they are actually going to the proper place. These packages would, without intervention, be delivered on-time. Not so, with a mis-sorted package. A mis-sorted package is entered into the system as going to the wrong place, and that's where it goes. Which is more important, tracking a package to the wrong place, but that package wasn't sent wrong, and was delivered on-time? Or tracking a package to the wrong place, and was sent incorrectly, and subsequently delivered late? Why isn't mis-sorted technology being used? I've been told that it would cost too much. More than 4,000,000,000 dollars? Dave [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
