[QUOTE="air_upser, post: 57873"] I really appreciate all of you taking the time to provide feedback. Some of the incidents you have described are just flat out disgusting. Others are the result of the dilemma of servicing customers and meeting commitments versus taking care of the employee. When senior management looks at the day, they see a bunch of numbers. When customers see the 8pm pickup, they see service. Neither thinks about the 12 hour day or missed family dinner the UPSer experienced. Are there solutions? I think so, but there are always limits. Contract language can't cover every incident. There will always be bad managers and bad employees. And, you can't please everyone. I am not in the operation so my expereince is limited to peak, talking with friends and neighbors, and listening to people on this board. But, I do have technicians below me and managers above. If I could suggest one thing to everyone, management and hourly alike, is to treat others as you want to be treated. clever, unfortunately the intent of the post is sometimes lost in the words. I don't consider questioning decisions and offering solutions to be anti-management. I just get frustated when I read and hear opinions on issues where the facts are not known. It's like I can say "I just fired a driver" and some folks will automatically call me a jerk and call a rally to save the union brother. Don't ask why because you might find out they raped someone while on the clock or something. That's an extreme example but that's the impression I get sometimes. And the same things happen in management. How can you motivate employees when you don't know the reason behind the decisions? Anyway, hopefully we will get the overworked conditions fixed. I believe in UPS and our ability to work together and continue to be a successful company. Treat others as you want to be treated. That's my message of the day.
