Discipline for not knowing safety questions 100%

What is wrong with making an effort instead of excuses?

You must be non-union.

Tell them you have a learning disability, and you will sue them under all laws that apply to being discharged beacause of this disability. Also tell mgmt that you will need a tutor who specializes in teaching people with a learning disability and the cost is on their dime.

Another fine example of PWT--Posting Without Thinking

I work at UPS. I am use to not getting any compliments on what a good job I do, how I helped my co-workers so the dispatcher looks good, how I saved miles by driving a better way, ect.
In other words, I am use to supervisors like you.

I have a big problem when management just recognizes mistakes.

It is just as important to recognize strengths.

I tell them that i was not good taking test in school. That is why I work for UPS.

Whatever number you come up with, you can add one more time from me....

What is wrong with making an effort instead of excuses?

Excuses are what I got for 15 years every time I asked for a safe and ergonomically suitable delivery vehicle with power steering and a 3 pt seatbelt.

Excuses are what I got for years every time I asked for a safe and realistic dispatch based upon a fair time study for my route.

Excuses are what I got for years (and still get frequently) every time I ask the company to honor the 9.5 language in the contract.

So when some nitwit from their Safety Committee comes up to me and demands that I make the effort to memorize acronyms and safety drivel......he's probably going to get some excuses instead.

This is a weak and disrespectful slam on those with a learning disability.
Learn something about the ADA laws before giving out advice regarding disabilities.


Everyone has a learning style. It is up to the trainer to learn and recognize.

I agree. Man up and tell them it's not contractually required for you to memorize this.

It is more important for a manager to simply be "fair".

I could care less about either the ups or downs, generally neither were in my (or any hourlies) control to begin with.

Sometimes in favor of good, I'm thinking " I didn't even do anything special...just doing the job" and then in the same breathe when something goes wrong " I didn't do anything special, just doing the job"

Being original isn't your strong suit.
