[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1295334, member: 32753"] There is one caveat in working just hard enough.... We talk as if the union environment is just cold hard facts and articles....but it is people who oversee us, with emotions, likes, and what not. Just as we drivers go a little extra for customers and/or management who have done so for us, management does not forget, and even the impression you leave on your coworkers could have them speaking up for you at a needed time to the right person. I've been there and had that personally happen for me.... It is why I cringe when people say,"I'll only do enough, give em nothing more", or "I'll file a grievance if my center manager so much as says 'Hello' to me off the clock!" Goodwill can be like money in the bank. And besides, them giving me extra work is sort of like a compliment, and they'll like - or at least more willingly tolerate having you around. Previously created goodwill may come in handy for some of the Maspeth 250, while the needlessly abrasive attitude of others will be their UPS career's undoing. [/QUOTE]
