[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1087238, member: 43436"] One of our PT sup was fired for leaving send agains on idle trucks (e.g. routes that weren't being built the next day). It was his third offense in about 18 months. He got his job back through arbitration. I've also seen PT sup fired for: -- Showing up to work drunk the day after St. Patty's Day (Preloader -- in other words, an hour or so after the bar closed). He got his job back through arbitration. -- (On the local sort) Choosing to leave several dozen packages in the building, rather than calling for/building another load; most were two-day packages to Europe & Asia. He got his job back through arbitration, went full-time within a month after returning to work. -- Choosing not to run a load because he'd blow his production numbers (Preload) -- then lying to his boss and saying the load was cancelled. He got his job back through arbitration. -- Accusations of sexual harassment, three total over time. Two got their jobs back through arbitration, the third didn't try. -- Horse playing with another PT sup that resulted in that sup getting hurt & going to the clinic. He struck a deal in which his termination would be considered a voluntary quit, with full recommendation, and he would receive his remaining time off cashed out. -- not being managerial material, for whatever reason. He got his job back through arbitration, but at a different building. and, more recently, -- identifying himself as a UPS PT supervisor on Facebook, criticizing the job, then displaying inappropriate images (semi-naked, drunk, etc.) that "misrepresented" the brand. Not certain what he plans on doing... So it seems that employees who don't deserve to keep their jobs, but do anyway, isn't just limited to union employees... [/QUOTE]
