[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 328406, member: 9789"] I saw the word [B]punishment[/B] in the quote above. It may not have been used in a negative context but it got me to thinking... I never looked at punishing an individual. I always looked at disciplining them. I do understand that punishment can be a part of the discipline process and probably this is why folks look at discipline in such a negative way. I see [B]punishment[/B] as retribution and a way to humiliate someone into submission ....This may be strong but don't tell me that most of you have never felt that way. I certainly have! This is where we lose respect for our so called leaders. [B]Discipline[/B] (in the context of working at UPS) should not be made to feel like punishment. It should be designed to change behavior in such a way as to teach, train and counsel an individual; not to belittle or denigrate the person. Maybe this is why many of our folks feel ill toward management. When we get the chance - we want to show them who is boss and make them feel subservient. I would hope that anyone who uses punishment to change the behavior just does not understand the difference and not what I stated above. True discipline should involve "getting your attention" to change behavior at the lowest level of discomfort as possible. [/QUOTE]
