The cop that responded to me getting held up said it was too bad I didn't have a knife and I could've stabbed the guy. He was serious. I have a wife and two kids though, I'm not trying to be a hero unless I'm actually attacked.
I understand, but since I discuss a lot of things that irk me about the company, sometimes the stuff that happens in my own center, I won't risk giving up info that puts me in the building or center in-which I work. Plus, this guy is a good driver. Had a lot of "personal" stuff happening on the outside that came to his area and found him. Can't really elaborate more on it without the possibility of exposing who it was, and where it happened. The item he used was "banned", not by UPS, but the State we work in. If you get caught using this solid item on someone you go to jail. Use a fist, OK, use this "thing", and right to jail. We should know by February if he's coming back or if the company is standing firm on his discharge.
