In the real world of ups at least in operations the policy book has nothing to do with anything. I'm speaking from experiences that I've seen first hand. Ive seen people call the hotline # and give their name who were retaliated against. Some horriibly and corporate new what was going on. Their integrity goes out the window and it's chalked up to " it's just business".
anonymous,
I disagree, in operations the UPS Policy Book has everything to do about everything. It is supposed to be used as a daily guide. Please see the Preface page ii.
In my opinion there are management employees at all levels of large corporations who will try to intimidate and retaliate when someone blows the whistle.
Any employee who uses the internal whistleblowing process in a large corporation such as a reporting hotline # should be prepared for resistance.
This resistance can include intimidation, coercion and possible retaliation.
If the employee blowing the whistle gives up and folds when intimidated, coerced or retaliated upon, then the resistance has done it's intended job.
The intended job is to keep employees silent while purporting to encourage them to speak.
May God bless and keep you.
Sincerely,
I
