[QUOTE="soberups, post: 745070, member: 14668"] Thats what I would do. My center has been on Telematics for a year and a half now. I have made peace with the fact that any action I take to get off of one report will simply cause me to show up on a different one. I have made peace with the fact that my supervisors job security depends upon finding things about [U]my[/U] job to complain about, so even if I do my job [I]perfectly[/I] he will just make something up. I have made peace with the fact that the people who invent/install/implement Telematics must[I] justify[/I] the expense of doing so. This process is simple; first they invent a metric, then they invent a way to manipulate it, then they convince everyone that the metric is somehow relevent to the successful operation of the business. If they repeat this process often enough, they can actually maintain the illusion that they are accomplishing something worthwhile and secure their position at the corporate tit. Its not what they accomplish, its how good they look on paper pretending to accomplish it. As an hourly employee, I am one of the dogs who is attached to and pulling the sled. I do the labor that moves the product. There is also a management person who is needed to control the speed and direction of the sled so that it stays on course. When both sides work together, we succeed. Those who have implemented Telematics....are pretty much like the fleas that infest the sled dogs and bite them on the ass. They itch, and irritate, and often cause the dogs to have to stop and scratch.Sometimes they even bite the management person who steers the sled. They are parasites who contribute nothing to the forward motion or direction of the sled, but they are along for the free ride anyway. Eventually the dog can learn to disregard the itching for the most part, and return its focus to pulling the sled. The fleas will always be an annoyance...but that is all they are. You can ignore them if you have a thick enough hide. [/QUOTE]
