If you go to the PCM on Monday you will have the floor all to yourself.
here is the problem. you're putting your center manager down for manipulating the participation rate. Your center manager is being dishonest. however saying he is doing so out of the petty cash fund is also dishonest. there is no petty cash fund. the guy is manipulating the number by putting his own money in the fund for you. At least get that part right so we can focus on the center manager's dishonesty without being distracted by yours.
His lips are moving...How do you know the center manager is being dishonest? As soon as read that the center manager was taking money from petty cash I discounted everything else that poster wrote. He lost complete credibility with that statement.

Thanks Lifer. I will have to see if this is mentioned monday at our PCM. If not I guess I will have to mention it.
I'm glad that is the rule around here but there are exceptions that you haven't seen yet. One of our runner/gunners just broke his ankle wed. Its the 4th or 5th injury and has been del only 1 year longer than I have. I have no lost time injuries. Wanna bet what was going on? Wanna bet that driver doesn't last as long as I do? They will never learn.When I saw this article, the first person I thought of was you!
Imagine that.... it turned into a management bashing thread! To me, that just shows the class of some people!
I happen to critically observe driver methods when I am out and about in Sedona. I can honestly say that all the drivers I have seen deliver as if their supervisor is standing right behind them. The Sedona drivers that come out of your center make me very proud ... I was not surprised to see this recognition.

its probably safe to say that the management teams at each one of the locations are probably 'the best numbers fudgers" in those categories.
all hoping to some day reach the super bowl of dishonesty and become a mob affiliated business agent.
in that context my point was that if you're going to make the point the center manager was being dishonest by putting a buck in then don't misrepresent the facts by stating he was doing so from the non-existent petty cash drawer.
however if the center manager is inflating his participation numbers by putting in a buck for everyone in the center who is too cheap to give then that would be from an integrity standpoint less then truthful which daddy always told me was dishonest.
What in the world would make you come to the conclusion that cheapness is the factor for not giving $1 to United Way. It has nothing to do with cheapness and more to do with a statement of disapproval. This company started to handle UW contributions in the absolute WRONG way a few years ago. It became a contest and a race to meet numbers and quotas. If you want to turn something like giving money to charities into a numbers fiasco because you guys have nothing better do as a collective -- I will have no parts in that. I started giving more money to other charities that mean more to me personally and zero to greedy UPS related projects.
P-man. You give money to he united way and they use ten percent for admin costs. Then they give money to the local charity of your choice who also uses ten percent for admin cost. Your dollar just turned into 80 cents where if you had given directly to your charity it would be 90 cents.

Plus, you know, that whole shady accounting pratices high salaries of former heads of the UW. No thanks. I'll go down to the local soup kitchen and slap a fiver in the hand of the guy who runs it.

In my opinion local first aid squads and fire departments are not charities and should be funded by taxpayer dollars.
You can give or not give to United Way. That's your choice. I don't really care
Not giving because UPS thinks its good to give, seems like a silly reason to avoid a great charitable organization.
I ended up doing the opposite of you. I give a lot of money to charity and I used to give to a lot of different organizations. I guess I remember where I came from and want to give back. I ended up doing the opposite of you however.
I found this website: http://www.charitynavigator.org/
I looked up every charity that I was giving to, and looked for the % of money going to programs. Those that were low, I stopped contributing to and gave more to United Way. My local United Way gives 90% of its money to programs.
Now every time I get a call asking for money, I ask what % goes to programs. They hate hearing that question.
My point is that I give to United Way because I think they are a good organization and giving to them fits my lifestyle and I feel good about it. The fact that UPS supports them is only a bonus.
It seems like you will choose to do the opposite of what UPS thinks is good...
