[QUOTE="upsgrunt, post: 684111, member: 9295"] I've called in exactly twice in 24 years. The second time I was not ill, but my wife and 3 kids all were so I needed to stay home to take care of them, and I explained all that in the phone call. Of course I got the "don't you have anyone else that can stay with them?" and the other guilt trips. I didn't have to work, but when I went in the next day, all of a sudden my route had become a training route and I was pulled off it for 30 working days. I confronted the center manager about it and, of course, he denied it, but later it was told to me by a part time sup that was in the office after my phone call that the center manager basically said "We'll show him for calling in". I never did take it any farther as the part time sup was somewhat of a friend and it would have been easy to trace the leaked info back to him. I was never so glad to see that center manager go. He would lie to his own mother. In another example one day out of 40 drivers there was 22 1/2 hours over 9.5 split among us. We pleaded with that same center manager to please add some routes. He told us that his boss wouldn't let him. We found out after he was gone that he was actually told to add routes, but didn't- I guess to make himself look good. That guy was the "lying king" for sure. [/QUOTE]
