Relationships within UPS

[Loco170Brownie]

Its the biggest high school drama of our adult life. We had a young lady here (All parties in this story are pt sups)dating one guy, cheating on him with another. Guy 1 caught her with guy 2, kicked his butt (unconfirmed but guy 2 did look it at work). Then in a presort meeting guy 2 had an off color remark and was chased around by guy 1.

NOTHING came of this they all still worrk together

The term used here is sister/wife.

One good thing, if you divorce, you're still brother and sister.

We had a manager sleeping a specialist that reported to him. When they found out, they didn't move her or him from our department, just had her report to someone else in the same group (the manager friend). Supposedly they had to sign something saying the "relationship" would not continue, but it did. The specialist started retailating against the rest of the group for ratting them out and they fired the manager and the specialist.

retailating? I guess she "sold them out"?

Sorry ... couldn't resist.

Or as we say down here, "She's still in the family."

Generally it is not a good idea. One will suffer at the job because of it. Usually the sup.

But like Tie said, unless they told him to quit seeing you when they moved him, you should be OK for now.

Just dont carry your gun to work and everybody should be fine.

I'm surprised at ALL posters here for not asking the one "obvious question"...

How did management find out about the two of you in the first place???

Point one: Regardless of whether they are management, supervisor or another fellow p-timer, you don't want to carry yourselves as if you're messin' around. That goes for him too!

Point two: Are YOU worthy enough, for HIM to lose HIS job? (Obviously he's the one I should be directing that question to.) We have our Union to back us up, supervisors, not.

Point three: You two must've been conducting yourselves in a manner that was inappropriate. That's where the old adage comes in: "Keep your personal life at home when you walk through the doors." That goes for any place of employment.

Point four: What do you assume would be the outcome if things don't last between the two of you?...

We've had some pt's get it on in the woman's restroom (1 male and 1 female), drivers meeting on route for afternoon delight in the back of their package cars, etc....

I normally do not date coworkers and for good reason. Being a man, doing so is just an invitation for BIG TROUBLE in my life. There are plenty of venues for dating. The workplace is not one of them.

Don't get your lovin ( polite) where you get your check or you will end up losing your lovin (again polite) and your check. That is all.

or another way of putting it, you shouldn't get your meat at the same place you get your bread.

I am a PT sup and I began dating a PT union employee, I had kept it quiet until people started seeing us out together, and then all hell broke loose. I was moved in the building to the other side which is a different center. It's been 2 1/2 years since then and it seems that everyone knows, even though I deny it all day long. We are still together and I would love to marry this girl, but the only solution is that one of us has to quit. Can a PT sup be married to a PT employee in the same building? I am never directly supervising her.

You can be married------part time

I'm by no means current on this, but in times past, I believe that the rule was that married management employees could not live in the same District (not just the building, or even the Division, but the District)...and even then, I'm not sure how it dealt with management/hourly marriages.

But, as I said, I don't claim to be current on the topic. However, my personal opinion is that working in the same building probably isn't allowed.

BTW, over the years, I believe that's a topic that's come up well above the p/t sup level...as in District Mgr and above.

Sounds like me and my ex. She was married. I was not. Know what I mean?

I was pulled into HR 2 1/2 years ago, and they told me that they were going to move me to another shift, or fire me. I worked on the same boxline as she did, just wasn't her sup. Well I ended up getting moved to the other side of the building and that was the end of that. I never see her at work, I don't talk about it, she doesn't talk about it. I am looking for a new job currently, I just graduated with my master's degree. I just don't know if getting engaged would be a good idea, it could get me fired.

UPS implemented a "new" policy regarding this not too long ago. It is listed in upsers.com under the "our company" tab and then under "standards, policies and procedures"...........
