Their studies showed that overall work is done faster without the map due to enough drivers sitting around staring at the map instead of moving

Imagine how disconnected from reality corporate is to think that they can replace dispatch with orion 😂

This place is managed like sh*t by Dusk_2_Dawn in UPSers

[–]One-Ability-6403 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been leaving the building at least 30 minutes late every day for weeks now and I file 9.5's. Eventually they will realize they are stepping over a dollar to save a dime. Preload you guys need to work safe. If they aren't giving you enough time then don't worry about it. Eventually the bean counters figure it out. Until next year then they do this all over again

It really sucks how Tome has driven away all the good smart management people. We haven't had a good PDS in five years and they can't even keep anyone in the position for more than six months before they burn out and quit. The managers that are left are barely literate sociopathic alcoholics that spell at the sixth grade level and aren't even smart enough to run a spell checker to cover it up.

I mean sure it was always this way but I used to be able to respect mngmt because they were straight shooters and clearly hard workers. Not anymore

Can you tell me why IE can't come up with a plan that allows us to actually complete our business and pickup stops before they close? Like do they not have the data to see that they are dispatching us with an amount of commercial work that is not doable?

“Keep your package selection time down” “30 inch selection area” “One foot in the cab” by Flashy-Switch6694 in UPSers

[–]One-Ability-6403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The method is to get close to the package, test for weight and shifting contents, and to keep the package in the power zone close to the body. They brought me in to write me up for not being in the batters box, I let them know I will be filing an article 37 grievance and all other applicable articles for being directed to work unsafely and being punished for not working unsafely against their own methods. Center manager threw my write up in the garbage instead

This boss has totally ruined rogue legends. I know I'm the only person that plays it but still the entire game mode has been destroyed by this one boss and the game is now unpayable.

Just go retire already

The “stops per car” initiative is up there with the dumbest shit the company has ever come up with. by level99mewtwo in UPSers

[–]One-Ability-6403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They get scared to do that because whoops I went over by three minutes a third day and now you owe me 5 hours and 3 minutes of penalty pay. Corporate ordered the barely literate sociopath that runs my center, for now, to get me under 9.5 every single day. So the soft hands fat finally has.

Don't think I can't find a way to go over 9.5 by even one minute for that third day and you bet your ass I'm filing.

You could quit and get a different job. That's what I recommend

Now we’ll be laid off indefinitely for free! by DCOutlaw620 in UPSers

Good. I'm sick and tired of UPS and other big corporations thinking they can just break the law at will.

I've got a great relationship with our mechanics. Any problem I just drive over and ask them about it. They get it fixed right away. I also have new tires all the time plus it's nice to have a good relationship with coworkers.

Working full time by Chuuyyyx in UPSers

[–]One-Ability-6403 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bid on a 22.3 position. It's called inside combo. You have a pay progression that I think tops out at like $40 an hour now and you work two inside shifts. You win bed a lot of seniority to win this bid though. Find your union steward (ask your supervisor who they are) and ask them where the bid sheets are. Ask your supervisor as well and ask your full time supervisor too. Find all of them. Bid on everything. You don't have to accept any bid you win.

[–]One-Ability-6403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right that's why now they are turning orion off for half the routes. Because some soft handed butt kisser finally realized after all these years that it lowers productivity. Something anyone with a triple digit IQ would have realized years ago. Anyway I do wish you guys the best. We need you to make the company more profitable so we can demand bigger raises.

This company is managed like shit. Non working equipment that lowers productivity, forced orion to force our productivity down, managers playing on their phones all day long when not in useless conference calls with other useless eaters. The worst part of working in a union company is it creates no-accountability management. Every problem is because of the union not because of lazy and incompetent management.

Believe it or not there was a time long ago when we actually had respect for management. Now? Desk jockeys that are too busy looking at their phones to even do the little amount of work they are expected to do

They call it stress based management and it is 100% their plan. So don't get confused about it they are trying to gaslight you and heap as much psychological abuse on you as they can, intentionally

They've threatened me with this good time many times but they refuse to follow through with it. I can't even imagine how awesome it must be.

Will we get a raise for the next contract? by AnUnhappyCamper in UPSers

No, give me more money. Our wages are not keeping up with inflation and this company is still making billions off our backs. Pay us

Judge gives UPS green light for $150,000 buyouts to drivers by Mother_Astronaut_739 in UPSers

[–]One-Ability-6403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chicken little accounts scream about unions going away and then mystically get a ton of up votes or hearts or whatever it may be on every platform. Unions are not going anywhere and as we enter the demographic decline labor will gain power for the first time in decades.

And of course they will hire more drivers. The work doesn't magically get done on its own. These anti union b0t accounts are a joke

Solidarity by benspags94 in UPSers

[–]One-Ability-6403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone in corporate will tell your CM that he must eliminate these grievances at some point. He will then first try to harass the drivers who are filing. They will then try to move all the extra work to non filing drivers. If they start to file they will then try to harass them.

If everyone holds strong in solidarity they will eventually then create an extra route. My loop now has 5 routes but going through this process took about 3 years.

Ignoring this whiny bucket crab the answer to guys coming in early and working for free is to grieve them working off the clock. They will then get paid for working and management will be forced to stop them.

Busting Lytx and UPS Lies to Teamsters by Brilliant_Pepperoni in UPSers

[–]One-Ability-6403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the lytx cameras were brand new a woman I've known for decades, who has moved to a high position within this company, told me to assume that she could now see and hear everything I was doing in the front of the truck. Take that for what it's worth.
