[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1018259, member: 17969"] Mikes case isnt usual at all. Many supervisors are mistreated at UPS, they have been for years. Most of them just take it and never complain, those that do are usually fired for some random reason or forced out. Some are moved to the bounderies of the supervisors geographical limitations and forced to quit. Mke was unique. Mike had an aggressive personality and UPS exploited that for years, Mike would do as he was told until he got in trouble and the company DIDNT HAVE HIS BACK. He re-tooled himself and went about business taking care of himself, the customers and his employees. He re-thought all the events of his career and started to look at the company with a finer microscope. All the skipped lunches, all the excessive overtime without compensation, all the DOT violations like making his take out routes without having a DOT clearance. The company doesnt care, and they still dont. They spent Millions to defend this case as if ANY of the claims Mike had made were legitimate business practices. Even today, the company is forcing supervisors to discipline drivers for production or face discipline themselves. All the supervisors know that the drivers cant make the production numbers because the system is rigged for failure and they dont want to have to face the reality of having to supervise angry drivers when they are disciplined for something they cant control. Sups have been disciplined and then replaced all over our district for this exact reason. Some sups have gone as far as to cheat the system and going into the computer and changing loop values in order to show better production numbers. One supe has been caught, and he was fired. Others have not. This is the reality that UPS creates for itself when it allows IE employees to dictate the way business is conducted when they themselves have NEVER done the job before. Mike has only opened the door for others to follow, and hopefully, this 18 million dollar slap in the face will wake up those at the top to make changes to its current operations. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
