Well in regards to losing your job, there is no rhyme or reason. If they like you, they overlook a lot, if not, then your gone. I have seen drivers get into roll away accidents with no damage, and the center manager covered it up. The driver and manager are good friends so I have no doubt thats why. I have seen drivers caught signing for packages, driving 10 miles out of their delivery area to go home, and other similar things and recieve a slap on the hand. On the other hand, we had a driver who was late for 4 days in a row, from 5 to 10 minutes late, and was fired. I am sure he will get his job back, but the point is he didnt get along with most supervisors. One driver was caught entering overweights in his board, he put in 100 each day. Nothing happened other than a warning in a PCM about how thats stealing and not to do it.
Some things cant be overlooked but I have seen enough to know the center manager has the power to cover up and overlook quite a few things. I just know that I am going to do everything by the book, the best I can, but if I get fired, thats ok. I wouldnt even file the grievance to fight for my job. There are other jobs that pay close enough, at least in my area. I like the security and stability of UPS, but I am not going to stress about losing my job.
