[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 972168, member: 927"] Of course it should apply to all. And yes, the rules do change at different levels and jobs. As one's level raise, the area of responsibility also grows. A terminatable offense at one level is a talking to at another. That is just the way of the world. I know that I personally was responsible for a $150K mistake once. (At least the mistake was made by someone in my group and I should have caught it). I didn't get fired or even demoted. Based on my area of responsiblilty it was outweighed by other things I did..... My response had to do with how so many in this thread (including you) took the opportunity to bash UPS without a full set of facts. I don't know all the circumstances around this event. Either do you or others on this board. I have learned to take everything with a large grain of salt. As one's level in this organization rises the % of pay tied to business results (not arbitrary metrics) increases. While it may be fun to think of senior managers as the keystone cops who only chase internal metrics, that's just not true...... I've seen senior managers demoted to fired over the years. And for things more out of their control than missing packages on an area check. [/QUOTE]
