[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 997494, member: 14596"] I do absolutely understand the desire to be home with ones family. You do not understand the position of this drivers supervisor. He has told this driver more than once to take his lunch and code it in the board. I know this because I have been there, and I know there is no way it goes to termination on the first conversation, none. The driver would rather run through the day and skip lunch and be with his family. I get it, but the company has been sued for allowing drivers to do that very thing. This supervisors Division manager also knows that when lunches are taken throughout the division, overallowed goes down. His job has been threatened because he has too much overallowed. So, he mandates that everyone take a lunch, knowing it will bring overallowed down. The sup tells this driver "I am directing you to take a lunch". Driver essentially says, screw you, I want to see my family. I suppose the sup should have stood up to the Division Manager and gotten himself fired for insubordination. I am sure had he lost his job for standing up for this driver you and your brothers would have started a fund to help him support his family right? Have I ever driven a package car? Yes. Have you ever run a Center? Traced several loops? Planed the dispatch for 70 or 80 drivers while making sure you make service and stay under cost? You want to call into question my knowledge of your job while pretending to be an expert at mine. That is simple. Wrong, but simple. BTW, agree with you completely about the unsafe/illegal. It happens and it is wrong. That is however, not what this thread is about. 30 day wonder? Had you bothered to look at my join date, you can see I have been a member of this site for several years. I have been with UPS for more than 20. [/QUOTE]
