Although Spot experimented with variable prod, (higher prod... never lower); it's always easier to make prod when busy, like fall season vs now when numbers drop. This is every department. Not just outbound. The less numbers to be had means the less numbers you can get. The OMs know this. Just do your best. OMs still mention being productive at Start Up but if an OM is personally giving you grief about numbers now... then chances are they were looking to get rid of you before now. Just a heads up.
