In response to DOIS "bashing"

DOIS is only a tool. Years ago all of the conversions or measurements were made by pen and paper. Unfortunately this is not a perfect world agreed? Some kind of system has to be used or a handful of bad apples would ruin it for the good ones. In most cases, ideally, DOIS information is based on a regular carriers last count. The biggest thing people have problem with is supervisor_01 telling a carrier that he needs to be on the street at a certain time, and finished with said route at X o'clock. A professional employee, on both sides of the fence, should be able to take this guideline and apply it. The worst thing you could do as a carrier is challenge them to hit the street with you, then not make your time, or get caught in alot of time wasting practices.

The best way to keep your nose clean is to carry professionally, yes this might include undertime periodically, but we should be getting paid for 8 hours of work. City routes are not evaluated. If the mail volume is not there dont be surprised if you are asked to carry an extra split.
