[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 505340, member: 9789"] I agree - do the job by the methods - no shortcuts BUT you also need to eliminate time wasters as well. I don't agree that doing the job by the methods always takes longer. Some people think that leaving the keys in the ignition or leaving the bulkhead door open saves time. It does not. Running, cutting across lawns, jumping over objects jumping in and out of car will ALWAYS catch up to you in the long run. Be safe and be fair. Absolutely agree - The supervisor must be a rookie or must not have known it was going to be used for SPORH comparison. This will never stand up in a quest to terminate for performance. Don't worry about it. What kind of letter did you get? When I hear letter - I think of discipline. It does not sound that way. I am not sure what mgmt is trying to accomplish here. Usually, a production ride means a supervisor makes sure you are using the methods and establishing such on the three days. The employee knows EXACTLY what is going on. Day 1 - observation, correction and training Day 2 - more correction and training Day 3 - correct immediately and develop a routine End of each day - recap ride Day 4 - Hold driver to best demonstrated SPORH - if driver does not - t/w & w/w - Discipline if or when appropriate If mgmt is just trying to establish a guideline for all the drivers than it could be to determine goals planned days for the center based on a supervisor ride. But helping a driver is nothing more than a waste of time. I would be pissed if I put a supervisor out on a car and found out the supervisor was helping the driver. [/QUOTE]
