[QUOTE="area43, post: 259330, member: 4862"] Fred, I have read your #37 post. First I would like to give my deepest respects for the loss of your sister and brother. I pray that even as time has passed since their passing that you will find strength in God to carry on from day to day. I too have lost loved ones. At times it's not easy. Second, my analogies were used as examples in reference to your quote,"I'll respect a 30+ year driver as much as a 1month part timer" Yes, I agree age/length of service shouldn't be the main contributing factor in representing an employee, but you must take that(length of service/respect) into consideration. I will give you some examples. Recently a driver that has been with the company for 22 years was pulled in the office for not coding in his hour lunch(remember Ca lawsuit,87 million). The center manager to his credit let the driver off due to his length of service/respect of being a veteran. Some years back a feeder driver had a roll away. Yes, folks. It wasn' t as bad as it sounds. The feeder driver had close to 30 years. Again, the center manager to his credit didn't count it against his safe driving. Not charged. Why? because of his Length of service/ respect of being a veteran. I had a loader when I first started driving that was perfect(close to it,LOL). Yes folks there are those that are born to load. He had been at UPS for 10 years. One particular day he had an off area misload. The loader was pulled in the office. Again, he was let off the hook because of Length of service/respect of being a veteran. A 15 year driver went down a tree branch infested country driveway and broke a mirror. Again, he was pulled in the office. To the center manager's credit he did not get charged with an accident. Why? because Length of service/respect of being a veteran. Fred, my point is that If UPS management considers Length of service/respect so important than why can't you? I mean that in a respectful way. Not to go on a rabbit trail. Why do they give Length of service/respect awards? It does play a major role in the defense of the employee. Respect for the newbie employee is warranted, but greater respect for the veteran should be granted. Time and grade does have its advantages. Take care Area 43 [/QUOTE]
