[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 723325, member: 12570"] I travel alot as well and I dont disagree. I have found places that are very good and places that are not. I do however disagree that alot of places arent facing the same kind of abuse. [COLOR=red]I would think that Lifer may have access to more of the behind the scenes action at a building other than your own than you would and therefore would have a better sense of the operational effectiveness of a center.[/COLOR] I would also say that an outsider is not going to see as much as someone that knows people will see. If I see a UPS suit I really dont have any interest in talking to them. They have created and unsafe, untrusting air for me. So the people that are not like that will still meet my walls whether they deserve it or not. [COLOR=red]You have a preconceived notion before you even speak to the person. I tend to give people that I meet for the first time a clean slate.[/COLOR] I also dont give alot of weight to any investigation done by UPS due to their employee is always at fault mentality.
