You know, I've read the attachment 3 or 4 times and I honestly cannot understand the resentment and concern expressed here.
It seems clear and well stated.
Does anyone disagree with any point expressed within it?
It does NOT say that you would be held accountable for a damage in transit. It doesn't say to not tape up an open flap.
It says not to load or deliver a damaged package.
The memo documents that you were communicated with about this.
So, what's the issue? It seems reasonable and documents what is a good procedure.
P-Man
Again, it's the "Do as I say, not as I do" procedure at my center that bothers me. They want you to sign it then in the same moment the crushed, broken, ripped, bottom missing, rod protruding, oil leaking, box is waiting on your car for you. I've even had cases where I knew they were damaged in the past, finished opening them, and looked at the damaged contents, taped it up sent it back to the center as a damage, only to have it re-taped, and back at me the next day.
I'm sick of the games. If management really wants to address this, then re-read it, and take steps to make it happen. Be more strict and clear about what proper packaging is. Don't keyhole the drivers into a corner with this continual nonsense.
I am with you, I use my best descretion, and always have.
Why do we have to be sucked into "LYING" to fit their games? Half hour lunch, perfect service Monday missorts & their creative ways to sheet them. Now this on top.
Some of you are, or must be certainly fortunate to be able to actually feel cozy with management in your center to have no problem with this nomenclature. You probably actually get to take time out for a lunch, and only work a planned 8 every day. To you, you need to be happy, content, & feel blessed. Because that isn't the case at my workplace, last week my shortest day was 10.2 with two 11.98's (added more lunch time to these to keep em' under 12 because you gotta play the game, wink, wink, don't want to get written up right?). And EVERY day, at least one or more packages that as I'm approaching the door, mentally running through a plausable apology as to why their package looks as though I've backed the car over it should they come to the door to retrieve the box.
