I think they do the PCM in our building because the preload is never wrapped up so they need to kill time. Then later in the day we get a msg saying to code in for approved meeting.
My current Center Manager always tells us to code in "Approved Meeting" under "Other Work" too. I don't understand how that works into the planned day, not that I really care. I had always thought that a PCM was counted as AM time. I can understand coding out Safety Committee work since the Center's monthly plan has so many hours for that.

Here the PCMs are everyday. We are supposed to do stretches and someone in management films everyone and takes pictures during that time. That is followed by us being informed about any and all accidents that occurred in the district the day before. Occasionally there is a safety demonstration. Usually one of the Overtime....uh..."Safety" Committee suckasses is chosen to show everyone the proper way to lift a package or enter and exit a truck.
We'd be better off using those two minutes to finish loading our trucks.

We've had this conversation before. I think Scratch will unfortunately be buried in his brown truck. Personally I can't believe a person would want to work one more day than they had to at the Brown Grinder. I've never talked to a retiree who said they wished they would have worked longer. To each his own though.

There's a certain amount of AM time that is planned for each route, then if it goes over they'll have you code out approved meeting because it's a blanket code that can cover all the lost AM time for the drivers that day. If they coded it as safety it would be an obvious error because all drivers didn't do safety that day.

I have the utmost respect for Scratch. Easily one of top people on this board.
Have never second guessed myself once.
No way of knowing what's going on inside someone's head.
And yes ,I AGREE!!!

I also have the utmost respect for Jeff----that doesn't mean I don't think he is crazy for staying one day longer than he needs to.

A daily waste of time but they pay me to stand there. 10 min am time 3 for them 7 for Pre-trip they babble for 8 and then bitch later when we go over on Our 10 minute am time. Like I care about telematics and that it's snowing or raining out (as if it just started after I walked through the door)
I have an easy all DR route with no pickups, I simply enjoy working. I can quit anytime I want, money is not a problem to me. I have been keeping an eye out for something else to do that closer to home and that will keep me busy. I haven't found it. The stupid crap that goes on at work doesn't faze me one bit, its been that way since I can remember and it will never change. I have fun no matter what I do. Everybody needs to get the same attitude, life is easier.
