[QUOTE="Northbaypkg, post: 4730971, member: 58387"] Yeah that makes sense. Your most productive guys are probably guys that are out there truly beating up their bodies to make their numbers look good for you. Your older employees work at a pace that doesn't beat up their bodies aka safely. Like the #1 saying for us UPS employees, it's a marathon, not a sprint. You want a bunch of sprinters because that's beneficial to you. The employee would rather be a marathon runner, but that doesn't benefit you as much. Thing is, I don't beat up my body doing this job. Yes there are certain repetitive motions we make which over time will have an impact down the line but no more so than any other highly active person. But I've been at this job for 23 years now and haven't had a single lost time injury. I attribute that to my marathon pace. Doesn't mean I'm a slug out there, it just means I'm not gonna cut corners in the name of numbers. Just like you claim I'm exaggerating about the turnover at ground, I believe you exaggerate how much a delivery driver beats up their body. Maybe working at the pace you want that happens. Maybe that's why you despise the union so much, they protect us from slave driving bosses. [/QUOTE]
