wow I never knew you were so sensitive. wanna watch the lifetime channel with me?
You know tie has a fetish for those little chinese men in tights!
Now that would be worth the price of admission!!!What you say we get some buttered popcorn and watch the gymnastics from china?
Let me sidestep my normal role as the BC Management hardhead and ask for a little help from my management co-workers. Those who post here and those who lurk in the background.
When you have someone involved in an accident please show some concern for that person or persons first before you worry about who screwed up or any service issues.
I had a couple of drivers involved in an accident.
My boss is standing nearby when my sup gets the first call. He gives my boss the details. My boss responds by showing anger at the accident and concern for servicing the loads and never asks the questions are the drivers ok. Meanwhile some of my other drivers nearby overhear the conversation.
As management in this company I hope we have not become so desensitized to the welfare of our people that we have forgotten how to show some concern for their well being. The equipment can be repaired or replaced and the packages can usually be serviced somehow since we are very good at what we do.
Show some concern for the welfare of your people before you worry about the consequences and what you may have to do to service the packages.
You see the posts here as to why we often have a hard time getting our people to buy into our safety efforts. I'm sure our lack of compassion is a big reason. they see it and therefore don't believe we are sincere.
In my career I have often felt I had to clean up the mess left by these types of attitudes or even apologize for someone elses insensitivity. It gets old . It really gets old.
Tie,
I am impressed with your post!
My building had a driver flip a P-7. The driver grapevine had it within an hour and most of us were messaging the building about his condition.
Per the center manager, a message was sent out that the he would be OK. That was 4 years ago,a broken pelvis,a near leg amputation and a lifetime disability for a driver that will never be able to return to work. In my building, it is not just the "concern" for the driver, it is the lies told. They knew how bad he was when he went to the hospital. Wanna come work here?
dont
there is a fine line to be walked. had they been forthcoming with the "truth" they,ups, could have been sued for violating privacy laws. all they can legally tell you is that is ok. anything more than that and they are way out of bounds.
buown may be a real family to most (they were/are to me) but not legally.
just another view of the chocolate pie
