[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 417066, member: 12570"] That's unfortunate in that I don't fit into either of those categories. I have the ability to think for myself and go above and beyond so that would exclude me from the first category. I am always looking for ways to improve service to my customers, to bring new business to the company and to help the other drivers in my loop if needed, and to use common sense and not be guided by a piece of paper, so that would exclude me from the second category. (To be fair, you are right, I do take care of me first as no one else will but not at the expense of the operation.) I guess we need a third category. Let's call it dedicated employee. Someone who shows up day in and day out ready to go when I get there. If I have a beef I don't discuss it in front of the other drivers but I pull that sup aside and discuss it man to man. I do my work and, if time allows, offer to help others who may have more than they can handle that day. I don't bang in sick because I am too hungover from my Super Bowl party. I will take a day off to make sure that my cover driver works and will keep him up to date on any changes and/or shortcuts/tips to help him when he is covering my route. [/QUOTE]
