[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 549775"] I honestly don't feel singled out in the least. It's not so much me that I'm worried about because I know the proper steps to take to actually become healthy again. It's the UPS employees that are depressed or may go through a depression that kind of bother me. My statement about the heart attack was more if it happened at work and not at home, UPS would HAVE to take care of them because it's therefore work related because it happened AT work. Even though everyone knows heart attacks take a long time to build up. The person could still be put on light duties. For a company that preaches safety (which I've decided they preach it out their bums) it's idiotic to think that someone who just lost a close family member would be over it in 4 days. I'm not too sure if anyone else has seen a grief chart [url]http://changingminds.org/disciplines/change_management/kubler_ross/kubler_ross.htm[/url] but this is done over the span of 18 months, not 4 days. Apparently the first month is the worse and for some reason the 18th month. So, that being said, after a close relatives death would it not stand to reason that no matter who you are that your mind isn't going to be effectively on road? You're going down the street thinking about the funeral and a kid runs out, bam, UPS blames it on the driver and claims they weren't the least bit responsible for what happened? Is our union that naive? [/QUOTE]
