Isn't it Canada geese, not Canadian geese?

Very good posts. This is exactly what I wanted, feedback, negative and positive. Keep it coming, and let's see what we figure out here.

As a driver you run the first 10 years
Walk the next 10
And crawl the last 10

we all keep forgetting that UPS is NOT human and we keep wanting UPS to act human.

it's pain/pleasure response is MONEY.

They don't care about YOU.

It's all about MONEY.

It may be finally be dawning on the Brown Monster that lack of safety compliance is affecting the STOCK price.

CYA CYA CYA

if ups really cared about our safety they would put in 3 point seat belts and higher seats that would protect our neck in the older trucks instead they are spending alot of money 2 spy on us(bulk head sensors, backing sensors, brake pedal sensors, idle sensors, speed sensors and seat belt sensors which in the older trucks had 2 put in new seat belts would have been a perfect time 2 convert to 3 point system)

We just had a Tier 3 in our building. A guy pulled out to pass a car, directly into the path of one of our Brothers. He was doing 40 mph, who knows how fast the other guy was traveling. It took our CM 15 minutes after arriving at the scene to approach our brother who was in a cruiser doing paperwork to see if he was OK!! Tell me...What are they REALLY concerned with?

covemaster · 01-17-2009, 03:50 PM

Actually, a single goose would be a Canada Goose. Two or more would be Canadian geese.

LOL ... Funny!

Could have a point...a single tourist from Canada versus a group of tourist from Canada.

Look ... there's a loony Canada tourist.

It's a Canada Goose (singular) or Canadian Geese (plural).

stevetheupsguy · 01-17-2009, 08:34 PM

So now we have 2 threads in one. Whatever the goose/geese were, they ain't no more.....case closed, you frigging loonies. Did I "tie" it all together?

tritese · 01-17-2009, 08:45 PM

our management team just talks the talk they do NOT walk the talk..... by any means if there is an injury it NEEDS to be reported!! our management team tries to intimidate folks into not filing an injury report, i SO think this is BS......if you get hurt then you should file an injury report!! they act like you are a criminal if you get hurt..... 19 and a half years injury free...but i still feel like ups only TALKS THE TALK!!

Why do Canadians do it "doggie style"?

so they can both watch the hockey game

Well, I'm just glad Steve does not call himself "Steve the UPS dude"
I refuse to call him stud.

As far a safety compliance goes; I think injuring yourself really does make you more aware of the bad habits you have. So, everyone go break a leg and become enlightened. (jk)
I was out for 6 months with a shoulder injury + surgery. It sucked and really did make me think about how to perform my duties in a safer way.
I really do think the safety training is helping to reduce time lost injuries. I know the training gets on everyone's nerves, including mine, but it does make you think.

HEFFERNAN · 01-18-2009, 10:08 AM

We all bitch about UPS safety methods !!!

But, at least you dont work in this butcher shop !!!!!
