I've heard of a few guys who do that at my building. 9 hour dispatch and they finish in 8. Seems like our center manager just ignores that report especially if it's drivers that he favors. It's when a driver falls out of favor when things start to get interesting.
I used to sort during lunch when I first started. Not anymore. It's just not worth it. Management is trained to take advantage of us. They are taught techniques in brainwashing school on how to spot a weak teamster so they can pretend to be your friend, and then run up the stop count. I've seen a lot of good guys turn into @$$holes overnight because some center manager's are downright brutal.
Really? I think they’re just kind of clueless personally. They have a lot on their minds and just try to get everything done on time. If they see someone finishing early, they’ll just move a bit of volume on that direction so that it equals out.
I don’t think they stop to think, “this guy gets done an hour early, but he works hard so that’s ok”.
As someone who is kind of OCD and tries to make everything perfect, that can be one of the most upsetting parts about working at UPS. When you’re given too much work to the point where you are set up to actively fail and then receive criticism for failing despite busting your butt.
slide.... past practice can end up biting them (mgt) in the ass....
