Dumb Things Mgmt or L.P. has told you, only to later have to backtrack on

[BrownTexas]

Was given an early am to deliver , that had been attempted earlier but customer was not open yet, I delivered it , it came up late, chose " customer opens after commit time" as reason, was given a warning letter and told was not allowed to use that .............

Yeah. Just always choose other. I'm sure they will throw out that letter when you grieve it though.

His mgt team should have told him (and he should have asked) which exception code to use before he left the building.

One reason why it will be thrown out. Management loves to discipline drivers for their own faults.

Uhhhhh....yes, making sure the spa label matches IS your job.

Give the shoe guy (Austin) a break. He's a new guy.

If the first attempt was made by another driver, it would show up late. What did they expect?

Even so, that was the wrong way to code it.

While out on an S&V Ride being told by the ORS "I would have backed in that driveway to save miles." then a few days later the same ORS announces that our district is having a contest to see which center can have the least backs.

Sounds like this sup needs to go hang gliding. "What an idiot!"

I had a EAM on thursday. center manager said don't forget always code it as "opens after commit"

There was a time when "customer opens after commit time" was the way were told to sheet packages like that...Now, we have to have a letter on file stating the customers hours before we can use it.

It's hard to keep up when they change the rules all the time.

There's a new DIAD training module on smart stop 2 stating exactly that, a letter must be on file to use opens after commit time.

I think it's complete rubbish. Bluetooth only works 30 feet at best.

Agreed. Bluetooth is very short ranged. Far more likely the problem was other electrical interference.

My building is probably smaller than the auto shops in some of your buildings. You would literally have to stay outside the entire time to be 30 feet away from smart scanners.

 

[FrigidFTSup]

That's my beef, come up with something that doesn't interfere with my, or the rest of the worlds technology.

You're never going to develop a piece of technology that is completely interference free.

Why is the first stop in Orion important?

The idea is if you start your day using ORION you are more likely to follow it and have a higher trace %.

I remember standing in a pcm listening to the center manager tell us that if you had a residential saver show late because you hit "commercial" by mistake after getting a signature you were supposed to void the package, resheet it, get the customer to sign again and be careful to hit "residential" this time.
Not 6 months later they had a guy in the office trying to discipline him for dishonesty because he followed that exact procedure.

 

[govols019]

It's not dishonesty... It's a data entry error.

They should go through the DIAD choices periodically and eliminate the choices that are no longer viable options. We are no longer permitted to use "unscheduled pickup," "other/other," "open after commit time," etc. so why are they started 'll in the board.

Just so they have a way to fire someone for using it.

I still use unscheduled pickup, if it is not a return package have not heard a peep about it

how?

Are you at a delivery and the customer has a package to pick up that isn't marked RS/ARS?

 

[brownmonster]

Nice use of methods.

Our center manager goes out of his mind if we use it
