Attitude Adjustment

[I Am Jacks Damaged Box]

My boss calls me last night drunk and sloshed. He's tell me I was 7 minutes late on Friday but he failed to look at the schedule which meant I was actually 7 minutes early most the week and wasn't even paid for it. If he really wanted me in 15 minutes early he could have adjusted my start time. After all, that's a supervisors job, they know how to go into the system and square me up....but they didn't.
It's going to be a fun day explaining to him, his job. I know UPS, if it wasn't on the computer it won't be on the pay-checks, and that's why I'm there, not to make friends...or g/friend's...but that doesn't stop others in the building, lol, fools, you don't get involved with workers, don't you think I know this really well?

I wouldn't be explaining anything, I would go over his head and ask why he was calling me and being drunk and calling about work

So you let drunk mangers call workers off the clock and talk about work

I'm calling BS. He really called him drunk to let him know he messed up his time card.

Well shoot...I tried for a decent topic and now we're debating socialism and capitalism?
I LOVE IT!
Educational for sure. But y'all missed the point. I just spent an entire week writing down the start time I was assigned only to find out that no supervisor has made any adjustments whatsoever.
I have never had a job that cheated employees out of their hours as much as UPS does.
One day someone needs to look into that. What the hell do we have the union for anyway? is it just another reason to line bureaucrats pockets with money and keep fat lazy supervisors obese throughout the winter? Cause that's what it seems like.
Our supervisors work the sort aisle and sometimes even load cars, I'm pretty sure that's how UPS saves a little bit of money. Although a multi billion dollar company shouldn't be skimping their part-time workers just to make their numbers.
oh well...as drivers have told me in the past...WELCOME TO UPS!

it is capitalism. that is the root of the problem.

Just thought I would throw this into this thread even though the conversation died. This is an example of corporate america's thinking today.

Had a meeting at my 1st job to discuss call-in pay, etc. These are the bullet points.

1. If called in outside of normal work hours, paide 2 hrs minimum or worked time, whichever is greater... OK that is fair

2. If having to attend meeting if scheduled off, paid for the meeting time only...Well, better than nothing

3. If called and told to not come into work today for any reason (not enough work, power outage, etc) no pay...Well, I can see that is fair, even if it puts a hurt on the pocketbook

4. If not told beforehand, and you show up to work, and then are dismissed (not voluntary) for the day without working (not enough work, power outage, etc), you get no pay unless the state you are in mandates that you are paid. About 6 or 7 states that require some pay...REALLY???


So drive into work, get told to go home and nothing, not a damn cent. You actually lost money by going to work that day.

#4 is what they were doing at my place. UPS is federally regulated in canada and they are allowed to do that (and apparently dont have the decency to call you before you show up) LOL. they dont know their own laws, and i got i cant remmeber how much out of them before the government told them they dont owe me nothing
