[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 5433947, member: 52978"] We once had a contest where if you turn in leads and get new pickup accounts started, they would give out prizes. One of the prizes was a baseball autographed by the Astros. I worked in Houston. The prizes were kept in the center manager's office. Came time to give out the prizes, and nobody could find the autographed baseball. Investigation revealed that the center manager had swiped the ball. End of a long career at UPS. Ironically, at about this same time, his son was a hotshot pitcher in high school, and got drafted and played briefly for the astros. So he stole a ball his son could have probably gotten for him for free. Another example. a center supervisor told a driver to buy a spark plug for his pc with COD money, and the supervisor reimbursed him with cash from his pocket. Supervisor turned the receipt in on his expense account, only he added "assembly" after the word spark plug, and added 2 digits to the cost of the item. LP went to the auto supply and got an original copy of the receipt. Busted. Gone. This same supervisor would get employees to run errands in their personal cars, save the mileage and he said UPS would reimburse them. They never did. He kept the money. He was always broke. He would constantly borrow money from drivers. He had a wife who had very expensive tastes in designer clothing and purses. [/QUOTE]
