[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 664405"] I thought I'd mention our brand new center had a lovely gas scare on Thursday. Luckily no one was hurt and nothing damaged. It was amusing to come back to the building, with no clue what was going on, and finding it evacuated and a looooooooooooong line of UPS trucks leading into another parking lot across the street with everyone trying to keep warm in the -30ish weather. I know the guy directly in front of me had been waiting for 30min so I guess the guy at the front of the line was there for at least an hour. I don't get why we weren't paged about it. It would stand to reason that the less people around would be safer so why not setup something so a supervisor didn't need a computer to page all the drivers but just a DIAD to do it? Or have the center managers lap top with that ability so that he just needs to grab it on his way out the door. That way you don't need to worry about the funny convoy across the street of our building...Yes, it was a convoy, at least 30 trucks I'd say with tractor trailers, penski rentals and our beloved UPS browns. It was also funny seeing an on road sup driving up and down the convoy in their personal car. Likely to talk to someone but all I could think was a cattle rancher herding their cattle. I found it amusing that our regional manager (who's been with our center for around 3 months) was the first one out of the building and in his car when the all clear was given. Wait to lead by example big guy! The example being...Do the least amount of work possible and get the heck out! I talked to some drivers about it after and everyone lost all respect for the guy after that one. Oh, and for the sups who do read this in our center...HELLO! :D [/QUOTE]
