[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 728426, member: 4777"] Not sure why everyone thinks its so funny but there is a huge issue with this going on right now, even with the economy coming back. I have seen good drivers, ones that would bend over backwards for this company, and who are being harassed right now to meet an allowance system that is not set up properly to reflect a drivers typical day. Routes are loosing time for no good reason and there is no explanation for it, nobody knows where the time goes...even center mgt. You get them out in the parking lot and they will tell you that its total bs but what are they going to do about it, "its out of our hands." Change the allowance to be able to run less cars, off set the 9.5 folks by changing the allowance, once volume goes up the allowance says you dont need those extra 5 cars...where does this really stop?? On the other side of the coin I see some mgt people working insane amounts of hours, and being harassed to harass their people..I dont think this is right either, does a supervisor really need to work 14 hours a day??? I know the economy has changed lots of thinking with many millions of businesses, but many are taking advantage of things IMO. For instance, does ups really need to consolidate areas right now, some felt like there were too many upper sups running around, but last quarter saw growth, this next quarter is projected to see growth, couldnt the company just hold on a bit longer especially since some of those folks were only a few years away from retirement. It wasnt like the only business that was nosediving was ups, hell look at fedex profits, or most other companies..It was a global thing. UPS knew things were going to get better. How do you all feel about this?? [/QUOTE]
