I'm so lost. :/ what does WAD mean?
I actually like my current mgr(most I have despised) it was actually a difficult decision for me to let my integrity go and WAD but even a seasoned employee like myself who remembers this company as the one that got her a house nice vehicles and use to take care of her families needs has been broken due to the insanity these days. I believe my mgr is close to it herself just by her demeanor and the lack of enthusiasm she shows when speaking on all the changes put upon us by upper mgmnt. It basically comes across as a "this is how it as to be even though I don't agree" statement. I guess a lot of ops mgrs are just WAD also they really don't have any ability to run their operations anymore.

Exactly. they just enforce the stupidity coming down from MEM. In my station, they are pulling 12-14 hour days already, going crazy trying to make DRA work (good luck), and generally beingupon in all directions. Like I said, I know of several good ones who have had it and are stepping down. I'm sure there are plenty of others thinking about it.
If they are putting in 12 hour days mon-fri then driving a route on Saturday they are most likely in violation of DOT rules. A call to the Weighmaster might be in order.

Managers don't punch a clock. Impossible to prove, and if they said anything themselves, it would be "bye-bye". That said, I'm sure there were a lot of managers on-road Saturday who were at around 75 hours for the week.
Yep, drivers cut to 35 hours and managers driving routes with 50-60 hours on duty. Nothing could possibly go wrong here.Can also get around it by delivering in a van. <10,000 lbs is excluded from DOT CMV. That said, if people are looking for hours then management should not be running routes even if they only worked 30 hours.
If he downgraded in less than a year it wasn't by choice. He was forced.

Asked one of coworkers that worked sat if the sat mgr went on road of if any other mgrs were at the bldg. Not at our location he saidI'm hearing that a lot of locations required management to come-in today and do Saturday routes to cut hours and OT. Think this makes them happy? Oh, and you can't do this type of thing at UPS, as their contract forbids management taking work from hourlies.
We don't have much freight all week so little ot I presume and the majority of our sat crew are tue/sat. I guess our ops mgrs got lucky on this one.Asked one of coworkers that worked sat if the sat mgr went on road of if any other mgrs were at the bldg. Not at our location he said

What happens to these new employees when DRA crashes? Do they know their areas? Do they know how to plot their stops? Mapsco went under so where are the maps? This is a train wreck waiting to happen.
