A supervisor (its not clear if this is an On Road supervisor or OMS) was working 80 hours at peak season. He realizes that if he was working 80 hours, having to go out and deliver is a DOT violation.
it is a dot violation, you can only work 70 and deliver/drive
He send a letter to the region labor manager asking about it. After no response in 2 days he sends another. Three days later, he threatens to call the DOT if he gets no answer.
ah, the labor manager, the one thing at ups that is usually lower than the snakes belly. and of course, the lm cant reply, doing so would admit there is a violation of the contract which his is suposed to uphold. we sure cant have that now can we?
He is told to go home and they will decide if he has a job on Monday.
ah yes, the "there are thousands out there that would kill for your job" routine. they always fall back on that one
Five months later, he sends emails out (as part of a workforce flexibility committee) complaining about his management team. He aparrently speaks badly about people up to his district manager.
His management team thinks he is insubordinate. They start tracking his computer to see what else he has been writing.
painted that bulls eye on his back?
They find other emails, use of the computer to look for jobs, etc.
and when ups came looking for other things, they had no problem finding it, he gave them ample cause to fire him
By July, it comes to a head, and he is fired for
“mproper use of Company equipment, sending job resumes, applications, and job searches
from a UPS computer, composing and sending derogatory e-mails to peers. Negative comments directed toward District Manager and Division Manager included in e-mails.”
The other two people are fired / demoted for wrong coding on driver time cards. This was done based on an audit done by security.
