[QUOTE="soberups, post: 801067, member: 14668"] I would rather [I][U]see[/U][/I] a sermon than [I][U]hear[/U][/I] one. UPS made a business decision that the lives of its employees were not worth the $40 it would have cost to equip its pre-1995 vehicles with 3 pt seatbelts, and to this day it refuses to update these vehicles. That decision tells me everything I need to know about UPS's priorities as far as safety is concerned; crap like pledges and commentaries and acronyms is nothing but a bunch of warm and fuzzy feelgood nonsense that makes absolutely no difference out there in the [I]real world[/I] where the work is getting done. I for one have never been a fan of "symbolic" gestures. Symbolic gestures in my opinion are inherently dishonest because they allow you to pat yourself on the back and [I]feel[/I] like you are doing something about a problem when in reality you are not. They are actually a form of denial. If you are [I]not[/I] going to take concrete action towards solving a problem then at least be [I]honest[/I] enough to admit that fact instead of pretending otherwise. [/QUOTE]
