I see you have a new manager in 1610. I used to work for him and he was one of the best on road sups we ever had. He wasn't a liar then.

And no matter why you call in if you have option days they are burning them up.
In our bldg, they treat option 3 as sick days. Option 8 (?) is a personal holiday that has to be approved in advance. Any time you are off wether your sick or not, mgmt will burn an option day. It's a running joke in our center who will be the first one to use all seven. The first guy to burn them all made it to Feb. 17th

Yes, it is an option 3 in the South Florida division and the way it has been for as long as I remember, as long as we call in an hour before our start time, the option day is to be granted. I just can't understand why all of a sudden they are chaning the rules. I spoke with the Union rep and he said to keep filing grievences everytime they write you up for calling in an option day. I guess it's just UPS managers being UPS managers.

what could keep one from calling in and just saying I will not be able to make it in today? Say nothing at all about the option 3 day. They can't say anything!
