[QUOTE="BrownSuit, post: 467292, member: 14437"] Okay, I'm going to do a hoax . . . "[I]UPSers.com is confidential to UPS and is to be used solely by you for non-commercial purposes related to your employment with UPS.[/I]" This is from the Terms and Conditions of UPSers, which I broke by sharing this. IMHO for the most part the information posted on UPSers is would be harmless if shared with the general public as it is also available in the form of a press release or as in the case of the TCI post earlier, mainstream media. There are however a number of occasions where information shared on UPSers [B]is not[/B] public knowledge or is being pre-released to employees prior to the general public. There is also a vast amount of job specific, district or region specific information that should not be shared with the public. An example of something shared in the past was information about the 2009 rate increase before it was public. Yes, it happens every year and is not news, however there was specific information that had not yet been given out to the customers. The poster's excuse for why they felt they could post it here was that it was on UPSers. Another item recently posted included quotes on the District Consolidation. While there is nothing wrong with talking about it, quoting exactly what is happening or the reasoning is not appropriate. To this day there has been no formal announcement by the company about those changes. That might have actually been what got Hoax in trouble as I recall he did have a post or two about it. This is competitive information and believe it or not, there are likely folks from other companies that view the site as a valid source of information. It's not our job to discern what can and can't be shared on UPSers. That's for the folks at Corporate. Bottom line, if you can find it in a Press Release, or upon finding it on UPSers can google it and find it elsewhere, feel free to share the release or that other site with the world. The content on UPSers would still be off-limits. So bottom line, don't do what I just did . . . EVER . . . [/QUOTE]
