[QUOTE="exupser87, post: 521632, member: 22163"] There's 2 ways to co-exist with UPS mgt. Kiss some hindquarters, or do your job and stand your ground. The vast majority of people who write on this thread, are of the second variety. FLMA would have covered this employee for sure, and I agree that he should not havr been treated this way. When I was there, I never treated my employees like that, but guess what ? Despite consistently being the highest performing hub supervisor they had, I didn't have too many freinds in the upper management ranks. That's what happens to supervisors and managers there that have people skills. They don't fit in. The UPS way is to document everything. That's why drivers are fired for cracking a mirror. The management philosophy is if this employee turns sour at a later date, we better have everything documented. So, if that driver has another incident, we have him by the short hairs. They feel like the union will get his/her job back if they are a good performing driver. That way, their posterior is covered if there is any sort of legality problem( gee judge, we fired that driver, and the union forced us to take him back. Look at the write ups we had . We could see a pattern. We did everything we could by firing him, but it's the unions fault that this happened now). 705red, you are exactly right, but that company philosophy has been there for years. [/QUOTE]
