[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 440837, member: 4653"] I'm getting my but kicked out there. I have 1/2 business and 1/2 residential the other 11 months of the year. Now my businesses are getting twice as many pieces because of personal Christmas shopping at work and this is what's killing me. I'm finishing my businesses almost 2 hours later than normal. Add 130 stops to be done after 3 and I'm toast! I was dispacthed with 170 stops today. In October I was sent out with 90-100. 170 is almost 2 days worth of work to me! I will credit my supervisor here (not the dispacth sup. the on-road) I have got help every day. I dumped 60 to a base-line route that has a helper and it took 15 minutes to transfer the work. My on-road is pissed that this work isn't just put on the route to begin with! I don't think this guy has a clue. He sends the baseline (no pick-ups)under range with a helper and over dispatches me by 60 and I pick up 2-300 pieces and 30-60 airs every day. My boss critizes him everyday and the entire center hates him. Isn't the point to get the volume back to the hub ASAP? Its unproductive for me to meet someone to dump 60 stops and 100 pieces when it can be done on the pre-load with the click of a button. Instead this idiot (who owns UPS stock but must not care) is wasting: 1) fuel for the drivers to meet, 2) labor at 42+/hour to transfer work and 3) labor again in having the baseline's helper twindle his thumbs for 15 minutes while we dig for packages. All the dispatch sup. has to do is program the plan to put the work on the car in the first place by pre-loaders maiking $9.50/hour. Its a wonder UPS makes money. Its a wonder that his superiors allow this to continue. I don't want to be a manager, but if I was I would not tolerate this inefficency for 1 second. I don't understand why this is allowed to continue. Am I missing something? I am pushed to meet production standards. My superiors would drool if I could produce another .25 stops/hour, but will allow 2 drivers and a helper to transfer work for 15 minutes wasting more than 45 minutes of delivery time? It just doesn't make any sense to me???? Anybody with a logical explination to this? [/QUOTE]
