I guess that's the great thing about UPS. Your sup would probably high five you for being so quick.
I've never heard a peep about anything customer related and I'm sure I've pissed off a lot of them.

Well, she got her 10 mins of fame. I for one would not want someones firing hanging over my head for such offense. And then to invite a news crew into your house? With that said, I have never tossed a box that far.

Spot on. Bad job by the "employee". Should have never tossed the package. But nothing broke and now the "employee" is unemployed. Homeowner is a jerk.

 

[SmithBarney]

BTW the guy wasn't fired...

 

[fedupped]

It was probly only a temp or seasonal anyway, someone that was already going to get the can.

We dont have seasonals, we dont have mgrs, we dont have personnel. Down 12 drivers and 3 mgrs to date.

BTW the guy wasn't fired...

really?

I'm actually impressed. I usually have to punt a package that distance. I left a 100 pound elliptical at a mailbox the other day. #fedexpride

News reported he was fired.

News reported he was fired.

Damn liberal media!!

No one tell me you haven't done a frisbee on an envelope.

No one tell me you haven't spun a heavy letter on your finger tip like a basketball.

Not the homeowners fault that the package was thrown, they need not feel guilty about any discipline handed down to the driver.

I agree but don't you think termination was excessive? I would think a one or three day unpaid "vacation" would have sufficed.

 

[CJinx]

That's between the employee and the employer. Not the homeowner's problem.

I don't think the company could make it any more clear in the "inter-company" propaganda that throwing packages is never acceptable; marry that idea with the fact that this one guy just got us a crapload of negative press, and I would be surprised if he wasn't fired.

To quote one of your guys that was in the media recently, "it is what it is".

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Here on the Brown side he would have gotten his job back after a day or two sitting at home.

 

[CJinx]

Yeah, well.. Benefits of paying for union protection.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I am not condoning in the least what he did but I don't think he should have lost his job as a result.

i had a signed door tag w/ a note stating to throw the white bag VS (Victoria Secret) on to the upper porch of a duplex once... i knocked on the door first to see if they're home or not, took aim, and flung it up there and of course, i kept both the tag & note stating to do so for the contractor's records

 

[cancan]

So we are not supposed to throw packages???

 

[DontThrowPackages]

So we are not supposed to throw packages???

Regardless of what the note says, we can't throw anything. I've got a note from a customer saying to drop his box over the fence. His fence is 7 feet high. I have another guy who wants me to toss his letters onto his balcony. Remember, your checks have the companies name on it, not the customers. NO AIR between the package and your hand.

 

[Mr. 7]

I'd do whatever the customer told me to do.

 

[Route 66]

I'd do whatever the customer told me to do.

...even if it was to spank his bare bottom with a licorice stick?
