Welcome to Stupid Saturday

[onewithedd]

Why would you falsify records by sheeting packages EC during good weather?

That's a good question!! "Work as directed" that's what I was told. When I tried to argue I was threatened with insubordination. we don't actually sheet them on our DIAD they batch scan them with hand helds. It's pure BS.

Call the ethics hotline.

I worked 3 hours today and came back to the building with more packages than I left with and I only picked up 4 boxes total. All the advanced volume of businesses were mostly closed lol.

I worked 4 hours today. Dispatched with 111 stops, got rid of 102. Swept two of my bulk pickups.

 

[Jackburton]

235 stops, did 40ish, worked my limit of 6, went home. Would have been more productive but dispatching errors along with trailer pulling, sprinkle in a bulked out 800 is a recipe for fail.

 

[Mustacheyouaquestion]

Today I made $12.75 every time I delivered a package. Yes thats 32 stops in 8hrs and lots of coffee

Didn't work today so Saturday was SUPER!! When I punched out yesterday I was at EXACTLY 60 hours so no work for this guy.

Work as directed?

They can't force you to work a 6th punch.

Would you like to clarify that statement?
Or do want to mislead the new guys into doing something they can be disciplined for?

If they tell you you are forced, and they force from the bottom up, you can be disciplined if you do not show up and do not call.

I believe there are only a few locals who have language in their supplements where a 6th punch can not be forced.

Telling drivers they have contractual rights which do not exist is as bad as Upstate telling drivers they don't have the rights which are clearly spelled out in the contract.

Don't have to if it's unsafe or dishonest.

I worked today for the third Saturday in a row, I had eleven hours available. It was an easy day, I ran 154 and got the last one off by 3:30. We were running Saturday Air and Monday ground. Monday we will advance some Tuesday loads to absorb some of the shock from Peak Day, which is Wednesday. My Center has been in good shape all peak, the other Center in my Hub has been a total disaster.

I think it is more like "unsafe or illegal".
Dishonest is such a subjective term, it is essentially useless.

Falsifying records is pretty easily dishonest.

Work as directed?

Not when it comes to unsafe or dishonest. Sorta like releasing a package on the edge of the property instead of sheeting it NI when there's an angry dog at the door. You can do it the right way and easily defend yourself when questions are asked, or expose yourself to a situation in which jobs are on the line and management has no recollection of what you're talking about. I choose option A.

And I'm sure you do it everyday without realizing it.

If it's not on your DIAD why the do you care ... none of your business.

Or you can text your sup and let him/her make the decision by sending you directions in the DIAD.
Nobody cares what you think about the irregularity ... just get instructions in writing and follow directions.

And they actually send such self-incriminating requests on demand how often, exactly?

That's the point ...
If no instructions come back on the DIAD, then you sheet it up according to standard procedures.
This isn't rocket science.
I even did this as a manager ... no one I ever worked questioned my integrity ... my judgment many times, but not my integrity.
I'm not saying I am a real integrity led person but this is how you hold your bosses accountable and don't take the fall yourself.

Glad we agree.
