[QUOTE="804brown, post: 952600, member: 29553"] BRAVO!!! You hit it on the head. They DO think we are machines. As though stuff doesnt happen. In their "scientific" models you are to have a perfect day. In reality, life gets in the way. We could name all the variables and distractions here but in short we are just imperfect human beings. We do make mistakes, we do forget to do things occassionally, or are distracted by "life": an argument with our spouse, a sick child, unpaid bills, saying hello to someone as you drive by, etc. What they expect for $30/hour is amazing. Granted it is a simple job compared to brain surgery or nuclear physics but management prefers to complicate it by micromanaging every little aspect of our day to the point where some might be second guessing every decision they make. UPS went from being the "tightest ship in the shipping business" to being the "Unattainable Perfection Standards" Co!! They are never happy. And if you are one of those "broken" or "not as efficent" little machines, you will be targetted. If they cannot "fix" you, you will be labelled as "incorrigible" and they will look for anything or manufacture somehting to find a way to discharge you!! As someone said earlier, if the union cant fix this problem, then maybe it is time we consider a class action!! [/QUOTE]
