[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 873797, member: 17969"] This thread is a classic example of why "management" is not willing to engage in a serious debate over serious operational issues. They come on this board and repeat the same old rhetoric about numbers and plans and reports and averages, and when challenged with "real time realities", they run away. Any idiot can look at some report and tell us the sky is blue but without walking outside to see that the sky is dark gray and raining, then they dont know what they are talking about. In 4 posts, I listed serious "real time" problems with the operation that have the largest effect on package diversion in our system and this management person evaded those issues and came back with some ridiculous explanation that the national average for "paid days" was 9.3. Seriously? 9.3? If the average paid day was 9.3, we'd all be back in 1991. Maybe they run those numbers through the way back machine before they print them out and MR Peabody gives them the approval? [IMG]http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSwyzzXXfVW_n-VciSVNZLntF5g6DPJUkU8JBlu8JA_wvkWY6v4[/IMG] Our average paid day in my region is 10.95 and if it was even CLOSE to 9.3, we'd all be jumping for joy! We have the most drivers in the country breaking the 100K a year mark (myself included) and you cant get to 100K with a 9.3 average paid day. UPS is creating excuse makers, and not leaders. Its programs are creating service failures and not success. Its technology while great in concept, is poor in application and implementation. UPS is wasting thousands of dollars each and every business day in every center and every hub, yet, it goes un-noticed and un-checked. The fact that cars are cut too deeply, and those on the street cant return until they ALL help out the remaining drivers finish the dispatch and as an added bonus, we have to refuel on road with company credit cards because we are burning way too much fuel daily and running added miles is a sign that the company has NO CLUE how they are spending more than they are saving. Management persons can only repeat what they are told, they are powerless to make effective changes to unpopular plans handed to them. They are devoid of the realities of the operation and the effects of bad planning. Its a real shame, because our drivers and customers are paying for it. Peace. [/QUOTE]
