[QUOTE="soberups, post: 641040, member: 14668"] The timestudy is, in effect, a scale that the company uses to measure work. When I go to a grocery store and order 1 pound of steak, the store measures that steak on a scale before charging me for it. Lets say I go to 200 different Safeway grocery stores all over the country and pay for a pound of steak at each one. One store might give me .96 of a pound...one might give me .93 of a pound...while two others might give me 1.04 pounds. If I[I] averaged[/I] about a pound of steak per store, I would form the opinion that Safeway intended for its scales to be [I]fair,[/I] and that the discrepancies in weights were due to minor and unintentional fluctuations in the calibration of the scales. If, on the other hand, I consistently and repeatedly got [I]less [/I]than a pound of steak no matter [I]where[/I] I went or [I]which[/I] store I shopped at....I would form the opinion that Safeway intended for its scales to be [I]unfair, [/I]and that the discrepancies in weights were due to ongoing and [I]intentional[/I] manipulation of those scales in order to short change me. IE isnt stupid. The system works just the way they want it to. The fact that [I]so many[/I] routes have blatantly unfair allowances...resulting in drivers working off of the clock to make the impossible standards....is not an "accident". Its not a "coincidence". Its all part of the plan. [/QUOTE]
