[QUOTE="upsdude, post: 117015, member: 2033"] Amen!! I'll also agree/state that we hourly folks contribute as well. Some of management’s attitudes in situations that shouldn’t be an issue cause negative attitudes. Example, I get a call at 8:00 AM on a Friday morning from my brother. Our father had taken a turn for the worse and wasn’t expected to live. I went and found my manager to tell him I was not working and would be making the 3 hour drive to the hospital. He went into a rage about not having any “bodies” and how much of a bind I was putting him in. The number of days I’ve called in can be counted on one hand, not bad for 20 years service. Didn’t matter, I was a slug for putting my family first. My father did survive and I returned to work Monday morning. I was greeted on Monday morning with poor taste, “So, when’s the funeral?”. It took everything in me to not knock that a**h*** on the ground. It gets better. My father did die the following Friday night. His funeral was the following Tuesday. The manager called me on Wednesday to let me know I was supposed to be at work. I retuned to work on Friday. This is a pattern of behavior for management in this area. One of my co-workers lost his dad last week and received a similar phone call the day after the funeral. I see most of the anger and bitterness coming from management that has sacrificed their families and other loved ones for UPS. They are then unable to comprehend how anyone can place their family first. [/QUOTE]
