[QUOTE="iowa boy, post: 695814, member: 13555"] P-Man, Using this part of your quote as a reference point, is it correct for me to assume that UPS expects 'no excuses' when is comes to package service? The reason for this question is that I do not understand how a company expects no mistakes from its employees, when we are all human beings. You have been around long enough to know that we are all programmed to make mistakes, from the lowly part-timer making 8.50/hr, to you, to Scott Davis. Everyone screws up on occasion. Why does UPS not allow for this? Documenting that preloader or the local sorter every time they have a misload when their specific misload frequencies are way over MAR is petty and assinine in my book. Giving a warning letter to a driver for not having his hands at the 10 and 2 position on the steering wheel, especially if he is driving a manual transmission, is assinine and petty. (Thanks for letting me use this reference Sober). What happened to the pat on the back or the handshake and the words "good job today" or "how was your day"? Evidently this company doesn't believe positive recognition will work and instead has decided that negative recognition is the best way to handle all situations now. I've been a working idiot for 27 years now, (not just at UPS), held a management position for 10 of those 27 years, and have found out that when you treat employees fairly and with a little respect, the respect and fairness are given back to you 10 fold. But yet UPS doesn't believe in this philosophy, why? I guess I just don't get it. [/QUOTE]
