[QUOTE="IDoLessWorkThanMost, post: 309149, member: 12912"] Slightly OT here; Interestingly, a supervisor told me this past week that a new bi-annual bid was preferred by managers over a annual bid primarily because more workers could be disciplined and eventually terminated before they could "dissapear" to a new center/building/hub. (I would not be surprised if this supervisor did not read this post!) This type of thinking and attitude is what's wrong with UPS management side because many of these people they're targeting go about their job just fine and they're harrassed for reasons entirely different than job performance, but rather personal vendettas , not "playing ball", upholding the contract where management fails to abide, etc etc Surely this offers little help to the thread's composer, but let's call a spade a spade; management cares very little for the "human" side, the worker giving an honest days work. it's all about saving money, pushing #'s and squeezing performance. The only instances I can recall where personal influence comes into play is when a bargaining unit employee will bend over for them completely... 10 drivers canned for 10 new hires is roughly $140/hr or $200/hr OT savings on the 'ole payroll.... Bottom line to the author: managers do not care about your husband personally; the least excuse to fire someone they will, so don't take it personally. IF he's a good worker with excellent attendence and a clean driving record/ 2 urine samples, he'll likely be working again, and soon. [/QUOTE]
