[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1405490, member: 14668"] The other major flaw with ORION is the blanket assumption that the driver has been doing it "all wrong" this entire time. As human beings we are certainly not infallible, but the reality is that a driver with any amount of experience does his route a certain way [I]for a reason[/I] and the idea that we should just throw all of that reasoning out the window in a frantic attempt to reduce miles by some arbitrary amount is ridiculous. As drivers we are being given two conflicting messages. When the company demands that we generate some arbitrary ORION compliance metric (85%? 90%? 92%?), what the company is [I]really[/I] telling us is that[B] we are no longer competent or trustworthy enough to make a professional decision about what our next stop should be. [/B] The[B] [/B]company has every right to tell us that....but then it [I]contradicts itself[/I] by turning right around and saying that we are still expected to use our professional judgement and area knowledge (but only 15% of the time) in order to make service on packages that would me missed if we obeyed ORION 100%. [B]Which is it? Is ORION correct, or not? Are we still trustworthy enough to make decisions, or not? You cant demand that someone be intentionally stupid 85% of the time and then expect them to save the route and avoid missed stops by turning their brain back on for the remaining 15%.[/B] [/QUOTE]
