[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 203419, member: 4653"] UPsvette, Let me just say this. It is obvious if a "lazy" UPS driver will bust out his 2-wheeler just to get an allowance. In my mind this is a mistake on the driver's part. Its as plain as white paper if it looks like the driver to gain time in the time study to the IE observer. My qualm comes when we need to walk up a driveway that is more than the "long walk". From what I understand we are only allowed a certain amount of steps no matter if it takes us 100 steps or 500 steps. Am I wrong? Next, during my time study I was told I was losing "way too much time in your package selection even though I can see its not your fault". My response is I can't manage the preload. That's someone else's job. If I can't find the package that EDD says should be there, how long should I look? So here is my theory on the situtation. UPS does time studies to create a number that could be achieved in a perfect environment. It was stated before that the IE rep comes up with a number that can be produced if the driver makes no mistakes and has no conversations with his customers. UPSvette, can you please tell me how this would happen in the real world? My experience at UPS is that the drivers are the most hard working individuals I have ever observed in the workforce. Do you think Fed-ex drivers work as hard as UPS drivers? Where exactly is your beef? [/QUOTE]
