[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 590876, member: 22610"] Years ago in our center we had a seasonal driver who was hoping to impress our boss, hoping against hope that he would be made a permanent driver. We were about half way into peak and the center was starting to bring back undeliverable packages, and the morning meeting was all about "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" and "getting it all delivered, whatever the cost." Likewise, this was before the days of cellphones and the DIAD. So, 10pm comes and the guy isn't back. Then it's 11, and 12. The sup on duty calls the center manager to ask what are we going to do about this. The center manager...trying to get a couple hours of sleep before having to be at the center says, don't call me, call the sheriff. So, the sup calls the sheriff's office and reports the guy missing. Around 2 am a call comes in from the sheriff's department, the guy has been located, delivering in a subdivision. And, the sheriff's deputy has a question for the ups sup, he wants to know, should he try to finish up before he comes in? Christmas eve, not before, he got his termination papers. [/QUOTE]
