[QUOTE="Just Numbers, post: 592409, member: 22877"] Sober, I've got news for you...I.E has been running the show for decades, you just haven't realized it because they've been in the back closet and as they opened the door more people saw it. The best example I personally can give happened on Christmas Eve 25 yrs ago in 1984. Our center manager was basically in tears as he gave the pcm. No jumpers were to work today ( I guess nowadays they are called helpers)! This came down from the division manager as he was directed by the district I.E. manager in a cost cutting manuver. As that I.E. manager was probably eating a nice dinner with his family he didn't realize how many UPS people were not doing the same (both drivers and management) as they were cleaning up the mess his decision created! I and a few other drivers helped out a guy who would probably not have returned until after midnight(Christmas Day). So as you can see they have been running the show for longer then you think. we have all been puppets. A good response from I.E. would be that the dispatch should have been leveled off. We didn't have enough drivers on the payroll to do that and you ever see a preload try to move a couple thousand stops at 8 am ( my sup said that was when the decision was given to our manager). P-man, I have read many of your posts and have a lot of respect for you so, if your reading this please answer this question: Why is it when I.E. says to do something or plan something it is Gods' Law. But when it goes wrong it is only a tool or guidelines to use for a manager to run his operation. I've heard this from so many management people that have come and gone in my center. [/QUOTE]
