As many people here know, I enjoy a good confrontation with mamangement, especially Tie. We have had many battles and I have come to respect him dearly. WHen I have had problems and addressed them with him privately, he has helped me in anyway he could. He has helped me to understand things a little more clearly, even if he is deamed as the enemy. lol
He see's things his way and has a little different outlook on UPS as we do siince he is from the other side, seeing the majority of us are Teamster hourlies on this site. IMO he is one of the old school managers that we speak off after they have left the company as we sorely miss them, when they have been replaced by a out of school number cruncher.
There are several manament posters on this site that I enjoy, Tie and Pman. The difference is Pman I believe thinks before he posts, and cannot be dragged in to a verbal tongue lashing. Tie on the other hand enjoys getting under certain posters skin.
When it comes to Hoax, I am not a fan at all!!!! Could he be a corporate shill? Sure! As many of his posts are uncalled for especially in labor issues since he does not directly by his own admission deal with the union side of the business. IMO it appears he tries to drum up controversy in the labor forum with his one liners or lack of respect for the poster of the said created thread. IMO
That being said if he is a shill, I do not beleive that Cheryl, Tony or any of the other Mods are aware of it. And truthfully I personally dont care!!! Because I will still post on here what I would say to anyones face. I do not hide who I am or my beliefs. Tie I totally understand your position, but I ask you to move on as a friend. Because many people that read this site are not gaing usefull information from you as they have in the past because you have this stuck in your gut right now.
Im just as much of a hot head as you are, and Its extremely hard to ignore peole that you want to but we cant because they have Mod powers, just bite you lip and report it and move on. Because if a mod is attempting to stir the pot, they to should be held to the same guidelines as any other poster.
