[QUOTE="tworavens, post: 579044, member: 22946"] Everything soberups posted is accurate with regards to my center, with the exception of the time frame. When we had our telematics orientation meeting, the tracking capabilities were explained, but by far the major emphasis was on the safety aspects of seat belt and bulkhead door monitoring. When I had my first telematics review about two weeks later it was all about time per stop, going off trace, spending excess time at lunch (six minutes in my case, at which point I was told I was no longer supposed to sort my shelves, just get along to the next stop and find the package then). Perhaps they are not even going to bother to pretend anymore that telematics is about safety? Most recently I was called into the office and asked to explain why there was more than one hour between one stop and the next. This was a misload for another town that I recorded as missed after I returned to the building. I was told that we are no longer allowed to record any stops in building. Fine. A couple days later my supervisor met me on route and told me the division manager wanted a warning letter issued me for recording in building [I]again[/I]. I told him I hadn't, and when we checked it was a package I had sheeted as refused after completing my last pickup which takes over an hour to do, [I]then [/I]returning to building. I wouldn't say I have been harassed, exactly, since telematics, but it's sad to see them waste so much time and expense on stupid smile* like this... [/QUOTE]
