    ok...

    some of you know about the lack of the matrix in our office( it was MISSING for months ) i said something about it and now they have decided to do one from memory... it is not right it is not the one that was there etc. i was going to file a grievence and was told that a  union person said that we just needed to make one from memory . this just dosnt seem right . i thought if they could not provide a copy of the last one they had to let us choose agian. is this right or is it the make it up rule?

     

    this dosnt seem right . they say there is not bumping no bumping...

    i agree on  the 1st route but shouldnt  the senior rca get to choose form there.can i file a grievence and win this or what do i do? also my state steward is not helping. can i call a steward form another state to help? we have alot of favoritim in our area. and rcas are not on the list for it...

    to fast or to slow?

    Thursday, July 17, 2008, 04:10 PM MST [General]

    so on saturday a week ago i got told that i am "going to fast  and i need to slow down " i need to slow down and make sure each piece of mail is fo the number in fornt of me before i put it in the box. OK . that would take me at least 10 hours we have an L route and it is stupid i look at it in the case i look at it when i am pulling down etc.etc...

    so i go to work on wed and low and behold we have another stand up talk. the pm gives this one. we need to wathc our time we are going over our time by 2.4 % and we need to be close to 1%. and no its not really the regulars that she is talking about" it is generally the subs who dont know the routes as well and they tend to take more time"

     

    my question -- i take less time than the regular and i help everyone in the office at one point or another. why do i need to slow down would that not keep the time for our % to stay up? make up your minds!!! i am so tired of them saying one thing then turning around and telling us the EXACT opposite  the next day.

    but more over -- they expect us to stay under or close to the evaluated time yet they cut so many of the routes by hours with this last count, how do they expect us to stay under doing the same amountof work for the lesser evaluated time. i think it is all a load of crap.

    ok i feel better and i am not going to slow down i will do my best to go at a normal speed and if i get done i will go home i am tired of the back and forth of management.

    I owe you an apology Shelly, I wrote a blog very quickly before going to work this morning and I wrote 'Shannon' instead of 'Shelly.' I hope you don't think of me as management material. :(

    Hi there...

    Thanks for the comment.

    If you like to transfer to the island, just go to the eReassign and look up Puerto Rico. Contact me for location choices. I'll help you depending on what your looking for.

    Take Care

    HA! I love that dropping her off in the woods bit, thanks for the laugh :)

    Unfortunately she won't be riding with me again. She'll just be casing my extra flats while I'm out on the route for a few days for me, then she'll start taking pieces of the route when she does her driving test (love those days!).

    It's a funny feeling, we're both trying so hard to be nice to each other when underneath you can tell we're each a little bugged by each other lol.

    And I have a feeling that cross me end up in my next donation box. :/
