Fired for dishonesty

[Xanosuke2]

Story isn’t hard to follow, I sheeted up a package NI1 bc to my understanding no one is able to accept after 4:00pm. It showed off area in diad bc I was at the guard shack and not the docks. They sent security to investigate and found out they had a 2nd and 3rd shift. The lady that’s over receiving leaves at 3:15 and told me earlier that day if I had found the missing package to bring it the following day. There’s no option in the diad for that and no one from the company called in a complaint or a missing package investigation. This is just an example of UPS at its finest. The only real thing I’ve done to put a target on my back is the shop Stewart and me are really close. I’ve had fmla for my wife being pregnant this year, went out on workers comp bc I got hurt on the job, filed an osha complaint on a supervisor that made me work in a leaking hazmat and told me to take it back to the company(which she then proceeded to yell at me publicly the next day calling me a lier and that I didn’t say it was a hazmat, got a witness statement that heard me tell her it was when I called to inform her), so yeah they hate my guts.

Why didn't you sheet it closed?

 

[Xanosuke2]

Why didn't you sheet it closed?

Honestly doesn’t matter what I sheeted it up as...closed? Sup would say they aren’t closed bc they have 2nd and 3rd shift, not ready? Sup would say apparently they were bc they have people there, future? Sup would say that’s a misuse of future, refused? Well who refused it? Only one I could see being useful is NI bc the receiving lady leaves at 3:15 and told me to not worry about it. Even still, my sup doesn’t care and wants to try and burn me on dishonesty.

My center manager actually came out and said that all failure to follow procedures are acts of dishonesty bc we’ve all been trained how to do our job and signed forms on our methods. Everything they write you up for is failure to follow procedures and methods...so to him everything is acts of dishonesty...

They're firing you during peak for something this dumb? They must hate your guts, dude.

I don't think we're getting the full story. Probably a series of screw-ups in the past.

 

[el blanco]

Record it as missed.

That's not dishonest, it was missed.

Nope no screw ups and I gave you the whole story...I could though probably write a book of the shady stuff my center does, the things they expected out of me, and my fall from their hero to zero bc of what they’ve done to me.

He wanted statement that no one is there to sign after 4:00, but the business has a second and third shift so that wouldn’t matter now. He also wanted a statement from the receiver saying it’s ok to bring it the following day. Management says they don’t acknowledge bringing a package the next day and if I had futured the package I’d still be in the same situation. Their continued arguement was I didn’t make an attempt and didn’t go into the guard shack.

So they would fire people for futuring missed packages? Sounds like every center manager and supervisor is getting fired.

Nope. I never signed anything in my career other than the back of my paycheck (before direct deposit) and the bottom of a grievance form.

I think you're a liar!!!

Did you sign the paper work when you were hired?
Did you sign your DOT card after every DOT physical?

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

Did you sign the paper work when you were hired?

Possibly. Since that was over 40 years ago, I don't rightly recall. After I learned how this company uses anything you sign against you, I got a lot stingier with my "John Doe."

Did you sign your DOT card after every DOT physical?

That was required by law, not by UPS.

Our old DM had a hard on for anyone who used even CLOH between 12/1. We were told to drive back or sheet them on pickups if that was more efficient.

Wonder what would go down on an OJS and have to drive 5 miles back to a known closed stop.
Yeah hello!

This is why you guys make the big bucks! To put up with this crap. I'd would have told them to pound sand! This is why I work for chump change at FX. I read this crap and go: WTF! friend them! Do you really have things that tell them how much you back up, is your bulkhead door closed, and crap like this. Jeez. Although for the money I would probably do it by the book. You poor slobs are overpaid.

So you used to do tons and tons of work way to fast and then at a certain point you snapped because management was piling absurd amounts of work on you?

An all to common story at UPS unfortunately.
