[QUOTE="dave_socal, post: 117296, member: 5582"] Please don't jump down my throat for this opinion but I think wearing a brace at work for more then a couple months looks bad. I know, I know its for a medical reason and I wore a small knee brace under my pants for a few weeks a couple of years back. This added piece of medical equipment makes us look like the working wounded. That is what management dislikes. When you look at a driver in a nice clean uniform he/she looks professional add the brace and our aesthetics go out the window. Please dont go off the deep end. You're problebly saying "I don't care how it looks" and I have to agree with you. You need to do what is best for your body and in addition I belive we all need do what it takes to get better(rehab) but two years with it on is a bit excessive. UPS never would allow us to walk around with a weight belt or a back brace over our uniform so elbow and knee braces LOOK out of place when trying to project an image of sharp professional drivers. If my knee didn't improve after a year I would have to reconsider my position at UPS. That being said I hardley ever wear shorts(I know my limitations boney legs) and I belive that UPS standards for their uniform have diminished. I'm not trying to lump this issue with other uniform problems but playing devils advocate(Mgnt) this adds to the decline of image like drivers wearing earings, pearcings, tattoos, porn mustaches ,longer hair or pony tails tucked under thier hats, wrong footwear, oversized uniforms(baggy),Ups hats that aren't UPS uniforms etc etc. Your braces are safe because no manager wants to deal with that issue when pushed. Please read my post carefully before shooting. This is a discussion fourm right? My opinion is just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
