Since the recession is apparently over, does anyone think that we'll ever get our awards catalog back?
I thought that's how it was, anyways. I think they should do away with the catalogue and give a weeks long vacation for the entire family to anywhere in the good ole U.S.A. That would boost the economy.I would like to see it return but would suggest that only milestone years (1st award at 5 years and then every 5 years thereafter) be recognized.

You're right, that's exactly what I was thinking. I also agree with the milestone idea, though there should be some sort of yearly pat on the back reminder.Steve, you may be thinking of years of service awards, which are given every 5 years. Safe driving awards used to be given annually. The prize selection tended to be on the cheap side for the non-milestone years which is why I suggested only honoring milestone years.
so can i have your stuff,or if your not gonna eat that can ........well you know.It really is a mistake to develop a sense of entitlement or expectation towards the "extra" stuff like Safety awards, bar-b-q's, Xmas turkeys, founders day trinkets and sales lead points.
Those things are nice...but they arent in the contract. They can be given (or taken away) at the sole discretion of the company.
I am obligated to provide a fair days work in exchange for a fair days pay. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm here to do the job and earn a wage, a retirement, and benefits for my family. I'm not here for the free food.
It's also a mistake for UPS management to develop a sense of entitlement when it comes to United Way contributions, sales leads, and all the other extras that management wants us to do. They are nice and make management's job easier and makes them look good, but can be taken away at the discretion of the employee.It really is a mistake to develop a sense of entitlement or expectation towards the "extra" stuff like Safety awards, bar-b-q's, Xmas turkeys, founders day trinkets and sales lead points.

Thank God the recession is over. And that it ended before contract negotiations. Thank God.Since the recession is aparently over, does anyone think that we'll ever get our awards catalogue back?
