My two favorite posts by far by the OP.
Your next scheme to get that cool million from UPS?
Keep that thought in mind.
Yeah i come on here to blow off steam like everyone else big deal. Can I be a little over the top and sarcastic at times? Absolutely I believe the reason for this forum is to blow off steam about the job.. now did i actually think I was going to get hurt? No but I knew it was a possibility due to the way that I’m treated differently then other drivers.. who tells there employee after having a gun waved in there face, not to mention stalked/followed. While on the route. that if they brought the truck back, they would be fired for job abandonment?! So after that incident it made me realize Ups management could care less about my safety. And how do they prove it to me again that they have 0 regards for my safety? They pressured me to do something unsafe and I stood my ground and said no. Only to come in the next day to be told that I’m going to be punished for not attempting the over 70lb package. Not just punished but threatened of being taken straight to panel for my immediate termination.
Since you enjoy looking at my post history. I find it odd that you didn’t attach the post when I was told I had a 10:45pm cut off back in center punched out. I did that and had 20missed stops 40 or so ms packages. I was suspended because I’m allowed to work 14hrs a day even though i argued that I was working as instructed by working 13hrs that day “non peak” and punched out at 10:45 pm. Center manager didn’t care about the messages that were sent that I had photos of.
Hypothetically what do you think would have happened if i worked 14hrs that night?? I know the answer to that one. I would have been fired for not working as instructed By not being punched out by 10:45.. so like I said Damned if I do Damned if I don’t..
So yea I blow off steam and fantasize about getting a large check from ups because they allowed desperate treatment in the work place.
Here’s another example I’m on Taw rn. Aka office work. Well the last 4 Taw drivers were in the office with the pt sups dispatchers etc. what where they wearing? Regular street clothes and shoes. I go in today wearing my work boots and Browns I have a plain grey hoodie over my work shirt I was instructed in front of 100 drivers to take the hoodie off and that I needed to be in proper uniform.. I said okay no problem but how come such and such aka the last 4 guys were able to wear what ever they liked?? We’re not talking about them we’re taking about you. other drivers took to my defense and said yeah it wasn’t a problem when I did it 6months ago its just a hoodie he has everything else on. Told the other drivers “Well he’s not you” I said No it’s fine I get it, it’s cuz I have different pigment then the previous drivers on TAW! I followed that up with a “Thanks to admitting in front of all my peers disparate treatment”.
Btw I had no idea that it was policy that I had to be in uniform after they told me I’ll be on desk duty making phone calls.
So for you to get on here and try to make me look like I’m a problem,kinda gets under my skin. This company has changed my personality in drastic ways. It changed the way I interact with people. So yeah I fantasize about suing Ups for allowing disparate treatment in the workplace after filing grievance after grievance. Countless times speaking to HR about my unfair treatment.
Additionally to me doing office work today and yesterday. they put me in a office all by myself to make phone calls and take phone calls. No other driver had to do that. Drivers came in my lonely office and asked me why I was placed in here all by myself. All my fellow bruthas and sisters are seeing this and even telling me this is some racist bull dong.
I don’t expect you to understand where I’m coming from because I truly believe you’ve never had to encounter someone who is
Discriminate towards you. I’m sure you’ve encountered countless people who don’t like you, but the atmosphere of discrimination is a lot different. I don’t blame you for not understanding, because then you would have to admit to yourself that you were born with a certain advantage.
I’m not saying the world owes me anything! Because it doesn’t! But I should be treated with dignity and respect in the workplace like everyone else.
Sorry for the rant, appreciate anyone who read all of it.
