[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1166278, member: 32753"] Clarification is needed in this thread: some of ya'll have some people who range from pretty insensitive/clueless to downright sadistic in nayire on your center's management team. However, don't fault the company for that. I was trained (and re-trained over the years) that when lightening is present we should find suitable shelter and wait out the storm, if we deem it unsafe to continue. At the next mornings' PCM the oncar supe or center manager will acknowledge the extenuating circumstances leading to the previous days' numerous drivers being overallowed, and if conditions are better that day says we need to have a better day to put it behind us. If similar weather is expected that day, for all intents and purposes he'll say, "Do your best." It's what any reasonable person will do. For all their flaws, I believe there are more reasonable people in lower management than unreasoning, sadistic clueless fools. In additional, just as there are bad examples in management, there are drivers who will abuse the "I don't desk safe" to milk the clock for all they can. This leads to the problems with managememt. Afterall, if one's safety is not endangered-to a [I]reasonable degree[/I]-they'd be expected to work. Just because you can see lightening from the storm three counties over doesnt mean one's life is "endangered." Guys who do this should be called out just as much as the sadistic or clueless managers and supervisors. [/QUOTE]
