[QUOTE="The Milkman, post: 1773778, member: 22760"] I always figured that being told to work as directed, I may need a "Get out of Jail card" in the future. They could or would do something for me. I understand the way to train drivers is to put them out there and take their lumps. I battled, made noise and eventually it subsided. If you got along with your Ctr Mgr and on cars which for the most part I did throughout my time at UPS, then I made the most of it without making waves and having a bullseye on my back. No I did not enjoy it and the routes I did for over 8 years before I got a bid route were well known by me and some were cushy if you know what I mean. A 2 way street at times made life a bit more bearable while wearing brown. I was no brown nose and clearly let them know my position on the subject,I also did get a couple of so called Pardons in my earlier years for screwups which were I was not always 100% at fault..Some what to file a grievance and that is fine but I saw how UPS went after those who did and I would of rather avoided that type of treatment. I would at times have a frank talk with my MGR and sups telling them my concerns to them one to one. And as most of you know they came and went fairly often so relationships had to start all over again as the New Mgr would come in and callt he shots as he/she saw fit. Like most of you I just wanted to go in, do my job and go home without the drama that at times we had no control over. Before going public there was certainly a different mindest amongst the Managers and sups. Now having to answer to shareholders instead of themselves has slowly eroded relationships between "US and THEM".....The gameplan has changed since 1981 when I started, so now you have to adjust your strategy with your daily walk with Big Brown [/QUOTE]
