[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1387437, member: 14668"] We have about 10 Circle of Honor drivers in our building. Every single one of them has broken a mirror at some point in their careers, and not been charged with it. I have broken 2 of them, and been charged with an avoidable accident and given a warning letter both times. Cant grieve it, because safe driving recognition and awards are granted at the sole discretion of the company. Both warning letters turned to toilet paper after 9 months anyway. Bottom line is that UPS has never had a clear, consistent definition of what constitutes an "accident" and it has never had a clear or consistent definition of what constitutes "avoidable". My suspicion has always been that there is some sort of warning letter quota that must be met, with an arbitrary and fixed percentage of reported accidents being automatically deemed "avoidable" whether they were or not. Logic, common sense and fairness have never been a factor in the decision. [/QUOTE]
