[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1090222, member: 32753"] At least in this city the mgmt does not live in fear; they are trying to strike fear into the hearts of the hourlies. There are outposts where things are laid back, but at many stations they can be abusive, evil, and downright cruel. I don't understand it. What concerns me now is the supe at my dad's station seems to be doing all she can to prevent my father from retiring (on June 14th, 2014 at 4:00 pm; makes me chuckle he includes the time whenever he tells someone). It's like she is trying to get him to crack and do somerhing to get him to quit, give them cause to fire him, or worse.....I often fear he may die of stress or a heart attack. Again, in UPS for the level of treatment my father is receiving-and he isn't a troublemaker; gets back quickly if not given another 3rd or half a route on top of his; and is generally peacefully with his workmates and mgmt staff-we'd really have to piss off someone. Filing grievances, getting in a couple accidents isn't it.....I have been fired for making 43 NDA late to the Eastern Regional Office, along with having two accidents, all in a three week period. I was an article 7 for the next two months-during which I had a late saver-and besides being scared as a newbie who didn't know "the process" or "the game", I wasn't really intimidated or harrassed (and my manager was not a softer or particularly warm). I have been fired two times in the same year for violence in the workplace-once on mgmt and once on an hourly-and while I most certainly had to walk on eggshells (and my bldg mgr was rather stern), I was not haressed. I know, more than most, UPS can be cold, seemingly heartless, but they aren't evil [/QUOTE]
