[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 404975, member: 4653"] I agree with Sober. I do believe you have an ethical obligation to UPS during December and November. If you're sick then you should book off. If you think you should have X-mas eve off because everyone else in the USA does then you are working for the wrong company as Sober pointed out. When you book off on Dec. 24th you hurt everyone else at UPS because we have to stay later to do your work and I think that is selfish. What makes you more important than the rest of us? I'll support you booking off so you can go fishing in April when 5 guys are laid off every day, but will frown on you for doing it Dec. 24th. An exception would be a scenario in which you needed to make a flight with the family to see your 101-year old great-grand mother that nobody goes to visit. I would be OK with that because its probably her last X-mas. I would be disgusted with you if you booked off so you can drink egg-nog, watch football and get ready for Santa Clause:sick:. We should be a team, mangers and hourlies, on Dec. 24th (we should the other 364 days but that is another topic!)so we can close out another peak season as early as possible and get home to our family.
