[QUOTE="Anonymous Craven, post: 326080"] It seems like the "numbers at any cost" came around the same time UPS went public and stopped doing what was right for the company and started doing what was right for the investors. And the policy of integrity being the number one priority is a crock. With few exceptions, I've seen management get rewarded for lying and cheating on numbers. If integrity was number one, a lying, cheating manager will be fired forever after the formal investigation, not moved quietly to another building/district. I used to be a supervisor at UPS. I enjoyed the challenge, I liked my employees (well, most of them), and the benefits were good. Our department always was a good ol' boys club though, and when I found cold, hard evidence of another sup in my department lying on both timecard AND workers comp numbers, I turned him in to my manager. Who did nothing. So I went to HR. Who did nothing. So I went to the DM, who gave a rah-rah speech at reportback saying to call his cell phone anytime something came up. HE DID NOTHING. When I went back to my manager saying that I was going to call the 1-800 number, he told me he'd take care of it. Know what he did? Moved me to another department. Know what I did? I quit. Got a new job with a company who pays better, with better benefits, and no military-degrading-we'll break you down but we won't build you up crap. And my new company has a motto - "Truth, always and quickly." And from what I've seen so far, they actually practice it. [/QUOTE]
