[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 57996"] Well, actually the company "let me go", they didn't accomodate me. I had gone through recovery and work hardening from my back injury. They had built me up where I could lift the 70 lb packages and whatnot again and I had tried to come back as a driver. My back started hurting on the first day banging down the roads and steadily went downhill until I was unable to finish the day Thurday and they put me back off. Liberty Mutual called and scheduled a guy to come to my home without any pre-warning about what it was about from Liberty Mutual or UPS and set me down at my dining room table and calmly and matter of factly told me in front of my wife and young daughter that at nineteen years my career with the company was over and that I had worked my last day for UPS. I asked if my center manager knew about this and the guy told me yes, he was originally supposed to attend this home meeting, but he had to stay and attend a morning telephone conference call (you know the all important one they have every single day). He never intended to come is the truth, let a stranger pull the trigger, much easier. That impersonal, that cold, no one from UPS told me a thing. I went to the Teamster Union local and talked with the BA, he interceded and got me back to work. Which is the primary reason I want to slap anyone who ignorantly says the union is worthless and never does anything by the way. I am glad for you if UPS has [b]always[/b] treated you well and thoughtful and kindly, but you are an anomally. My job status as full-time center clerk is correct and probably accurate about trick although you want to be carefull believing profiles. What I don't get is why a guy as 100 percent positive as you always [i]always[/i] are is so ashamed of whatever you actually do for UPS that you resolutely ignore any question about your position with the company to the point of not even admitting whether you are management or not. You have the right to your opinions, I just don't have to agree with them or stay silent about them. I have pulled your chain a few times, but I wouldn't consider I called you "names". I don't really care if I irritated you, your fully non-real world happy happy every post does that to me a lot so we are even, but I apologize if I hurt your feelings. [/QUOTE]
