This thread only reinforces my opinion that, only in a union shop can UPS get away with so much BS and it require so much BS from its employees. Show me a non-union truck driving or warehouse job that is nearly as toxic and hostile that requires someone to make paranoia notes all day long for some type of sense of protection.

Actually, having the union in place limits the amount of BS.

For example, when work is scheduled for a Saturday, there would be no need to ask "pretty please". The notice would be posted and anyone who didn't show up would be terminated on the spot.

While I do appreciate your work ethic, that is not your call to make. Driving 30 minutes each way for a Surepost does not make sense.

LOL dude you appreciate their work ethic?! OMG I'm dying LMAO

Do you just make BS up to hear yourself type? Progressive discipline still has to be followed in the case of a no call no show.

It's amazing what amuses the simple minded.

Good job following the conversation.

The second paragraph was in reference to a non-union shop. TTKU.

Show me a non-union truck driving or warehouse job, that has the same pay and benefits that ours does.

Actually your second paragraph, at best, is ambitious as to which type of shop you are referring.

If you want us to follow your drivel please be more clear, Dan.

I take short notes during the day on on small piece of paper about things that have occurred and transfer the long version to a notepad on break. Takes about 10 minutes daily.
Includes delays (traffic, customer issues, construction, etc), what route and trace, mgmt interactions, weather and road conditions, where/when I fueled, stops/pkgs/pick ups/miles, load quality/ bulk conditions, amount of NDA and if I had to break trace to make commit times, how bad Orion was and how much I followed it/had to pick thru it, break times... Any else significant or out of the ordinary is written down too such as if I left the bldg late and why, different loader or loading position in the bldg, misloads, etc.
It sounds like a lot but once it becomes a routine it doesn't require much effort. I've had sups actually thank me for being able to tell them exactly why this or that happened or why I was over-allowed. It also helps me get it all off my mind once it's written down

glorious benefits like getting fired and sat out for missing a handrail seen by three dorks spying on you from bushes with binoculars

Use the handrail. Every time. No matter what. Every time.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

I used to get flak for using the handrail, but "without a firm grip" or basically half-assing it. Verbal warning! Although that wasn't the case at all, I was in control. Didn't argue, waste of energy. even children aren't that petty

Worked for me for 30 years. Never felt the need to take notes during the day.

Cripes almighty.
Sometimes, I use two hands. Real three points of contact. Or, if I don't get a firm grip the first time, I'll get back in properly, and do it again right.

Yep,

Blame the union for management's actions.

Manager:"YOUR FIRED" for no handrail.

You: "Dang union"

You have completely lost it.

Kind of like 9-11 was our fault

are you drunk? I made a joke. Either you're an angry drunk or need a drink

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

That's quite the stretch------not following the methods to causing 9/11?
