Nine Lives
Not exactly new ... that was common knowledge back in the 80's.The New Training being taught to the driver supervisors is designed to beat the driver down and make him or her scared to resist. Seems UPS likes the "Slave Owner " style. They figure they have enough lawmakers and judges in their back pocket that they are above the law. This training taught states that a off employee is a more productive employee. The "NEW" performance ride is not designed to help you correct poor methods, It's designed to Harass, intimidate, and cause you to make any little mistake that you can be disciplined for. An employee who has been given enough progressive discipline will live in fear, work harder, not report injuries and keep quiet about contract and labor law violations. The company loves it and so does the Union.
UPS has always considered "comfortable" and "complacent" and "relaxed" as playthings of the devil.
Never let your employees or yourself fall into these tar pits of non-achievement.
And you are correct, when the Teamsters negotiate the contract, their message to UPS is Teamster employees want it that way ... they want to work hard for their compensation. Needless to say ... Not all employees feel that way.
