I'm one of the few drivers in my building that actually sticks up for themselves and my supervisors don't like it. They put me on the worst route in the worst city. Well in the same city there's a driver that gets back to the building everyday at 4:45 and goes home. So they send me a message to go help another driver in the city. I reply that this other driver is done hours before me, why can't he do it? He told me to only worry about myself and that he's directing me to go help (I've attached pictures of his responses). Then I tell him I won't be in until at least 745 cause I have pickups and my lunch. He tells me I WILL be in by 745. Then he tells me I'm gonna help him because "we help each other out as a team." I couldn't believe a supervisor said that to me. When does it become harassment?

I can solve your problem in Two steps.
1. Slow down.
2. Take your lunch earlier in the day.
Don't get into a pissing contest with them. Don't tell them what time your going to be done if you have to go help the other person just say ok and go help after your done they can figure it out. If they haven't figured it out correctly that there problem not yours. Telling them your not going to be done before 7:45 isn't hurting them it only putting the pressure on you when they tell you be done and back before 7:45. If they just said ok and didn't get back to 8:00 that there problem not yours.
As a cover driver they send me to help people all the time. I'll send then a message I will call (really meaning send a message) when I'm done. Then if I haven't taken my lunch yet I pull over and take it plus any paid breaks I'm still owed. Then I complete my work and send a message through the DIAD for a meet point with the other driver and
WAIT for a response.
