Pees in the brown Koolaid
Shutting down is an easy call to make when the roads are officially closed.
The TRUE test of UPS's "safety culture" will be during the aftermath of the storm. Will they cynically cut routes, overload the rest with a dispatch that would take 14 hours on a clear day in order to hit a Stops Per Car metric, and then hide the service failures by using "EC" as a cop-out on packages that should be recorded as "missed?"
Or will UPS do the RIGHT thing and send all available drivers out with reduced workloads in order to get caught up while still stressing safety and accepting the fact that the snow will reduce productivity?
My money would be on the former. Hope I am wrong.
