[QUOTE="browncownow, post: 767002, member: 29591"] This response is in line with my feelings that motivated me to start this thread. The situation quoted above has become the norm at my center. I fear that, as IE tightens the screws and the climate surrounding the share price becomes harsher, this situation ([I][B]heat[/B][/I], really) will become the norm at your center. I had a pupose for I starting this discussion: I really want to advise my coworkers to do things the way you were trained 100% of the time and cover your butts (in writing (i.e. ODS and your detailed written records)) if a service failure is pending. I know that most of you know this, but I have worked for UPS over 15 years and I thought that doing things right 99.999% of the time was OK. It's not. That .001% will be magnified and put under a spotlight. The supes have so much heat on them that they [I][B]have to[/B][/I] throw you under the bus in order to preserve their own job. So from never being late to never calling in sick to always using all of the 340 points to conforming to their "flavor of the month" (e.g. send agains, no unscheduled pickups) to driving and parking legally, [B]let's not give management the pleasure of firing us[/B]. I wonder what they would do if all employees did the above all of the time. Go after each other? Another round of supervisor layoffs? Find some way to tighten the screws more? Would it be a good idea for us to keep written details about [I][B]management's[/B][/I] activities and let our steward know that such records are at his or her disposal, or is that going too far?
