Since when is that a fireable offense?

Had a driver get fired/suspended back in prehistoric times before tracking that would take his extended shag stops once in a while and re-ship them out of his pocket through a local same day delivery service. He would get picked up from his wife and remove his shirt and wear a t-shirt in but after the third time or so somebody recognized him and/or his brown pants and they called the 1-800#. He'd use the extra time to swim or visit. He got his job back after 14-16 weeks only by agreeing to no back pay.
Also, my jaw is on the floor how many managers and supes are fired according to y'all. I've known very little... they group together in a 100-mile radius in a good old boys club and protect one another. Meaning a steward is filing on the center manager team a lot, the former center manager tells the division said steward has always been a trouble maker. There has been forced resignations or transfers that often lead to a promotion. Our management problem history mainly circles around excessive laziness or mentally radical or actual niceness when they were instructed by the Ivory Tower to enforce brutality without getting physical and instead they'd refuse to do it. No sex crimes or firearm theft stuff. So it amazes me this happens out there at UPS by center and even division managers. Shocking.

Yes, I know I'm working late.
Until recently, our center was considered the kiss of death for crooked management. It was a resort for the ones that acted right, pure hell for the crooked ones. We have a good group of drivers that will take care of you if you act right, I dont think its that hard to do, but it sure is hard to find an ounce of integrity in today's management. It's the power trips and egos that get most of them fired in the end. As soon as they feel they can get away with anything because they have so far, thats about when they get that visit from the ax man. Some managed to slip by who were absolute garbage, but most eventually got what they deserved.
is there a connection between people with economic power (bosses, managers, capitalists) and sexual assault?
You think @Hot Carl did an academic study on it or something?
Maybe we should look to your friends in communist China for advice on this.
#MeToo in the land of censorship
"Under pressure, the Chinese government has made limited improvements. In December 2018, the Supreme Court added sexual harassment to the list of “causes of action,” making it easier for #MeToo victims to seek redress. Yet China still lacks robust laws against sexual harassment."
"Silenced in their home country, Chinese feminists have increasingly found footing overseas. Utilizing the relatively free and safe space in Western countries, #MeToo activists hold protests, discussions and trainings, and provide support to their counterparts inside China."
Oh God, never mind!

Every last person in my center has been fired at least once. Out for 3-4 weeks on bs charges. I renewed my barber license and cut hair for those 4 weeks. Didn’t miss a bill.
not sure what china has to do with our shortcomings
You wish we were China. For you, the answer to our problems is always communism. Which is why you specifically included blaming the capitalists in your question.
i said economic power. does china centralize alot of economic power like america?
I'll deliver an explanatory spanking to you in Current Events. Not here. This isn't the thread or forum for it.

AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE
Think about what it takes to get yourself into a position of power like that; ruthless, selfish behavior. That is the way the system works; you network and stomp your way to the top.
When you figure that out, it can be easily assumed that many in a power role are AT LEAST border line psychopaths. Borderline sociopaths. As in; the exact kinds of people who commit sexual assault.
All this flies right over American citizens heads. We don’t ask how our voting choices got there....we don’t demand candidates with high moral fortitude; we simply go “oh, this guy is a democrat and seems cool so he’s my guy”
Round and round we go, and nothing changes
im still waiting.
part of it too is the media wants you to elect corrupt candidates because it enriches the media interests. some of it is propaganda with the media, its not exactly a mystery that obama or biden or trump are terrible candidates but hte media has a hard time telling us this, and when they finish their term the media uses words like "legacy" as if theyve somehow didnt make the country worse.
you nailed it man.
i think being in power corrupts people the longer they are in power. this is true of the supervisors at my job, some of them consider themselves to be moral but you can tell theyve been in power too long.
now that you mention it, the corporation documentary described typical corporate behavior as psychopathic. and im looking on youtube results and on the show the doctors they say 1 in 5 ceos are psychopaths.
i think the bosses who act immoral are either too stupid to act moral (not to mention be unionized and have job security) and or they dont have awareness.

Would have been great if one morning a pain in the butt manager came in.
Give that one a Mullet or a Shemp haircut.
Another pitb walks in later in the day, you could be creative with the cut on that one.
"OOOPS!
"My clippers slipped!"
"Don't worry, I can make it look OK!"
"Guess I should have expected the unexpected?"
It may not look great, but it will grow out...

One Friday Night in August walking out to the parking lot around 7:30ish... I spot 3 of my working buds cutting it up... right on edge of company property, I rarely missed a good chat with the boys after work because as you guys know... not much to chat about in the AM when everybody is so stressed and depressed.
So we're comparing war stories from deliveries. Just laughing and having a blast... one of the guy's said... let's go have a beer. We roll it around and decide we'll skip that... yet a beer sounds tasty..., mighty tasty! Then another driver comes out... reaches in his pickup bed into a cooler says... who wants a beer? Of course we ALL did.
As we're kicking a frosty one down joking it up... the on car sup comes around the corner. (He got punished by the center manager and was forced to stay late on a Friday doing reports). Nobody knew he was in the building. He starts thumping his chest we need to leave company property once we clock out and not loiter. We said customer counter has been closed over an hour...then he looks and stares... what's behind your back? None of us say jack... then he positions himself and sees and puffs his chest out and basically starts prancing like I got you friend'rs! He starts heading back... a buddy yells out. There's FIVE of us.... think about it. All 5 will contradict what you say.
Never heard a word again about it.
Cheers!

A couple I’ve heard about
An employee getting fired for stealing video games on PAYDAY
An employee trying to steal Nike’s......He wore a sweatshirt during summer months and thought security wouldn’t notice
A 20+ year 22.3 employee clocking in for their first half of the day then leaving the property for 4 hours then coming back and clocking out......LP knew what was going on
Another 22.3 caught stealing IPhone’s......Got terminated for it........Called his manager a few months after asking if they could cash out their vacation checks

We had a part-time sup get fired for stealing a year or so ago. He was the last dude you'd expect so it was pretty shocking. His girlfriend, now ex I hope, had worked there up until a month before they caught him. She turned him in for the reward money and then left the state.
About 5 years ago, the customer counter guy got taken out in handcuffs for stealing cash.
Maybe 7 years ago we had an irreg driver get caught stealing. He was literally driving the irreg train to his car in the parking lot. Apparently he had been stealing for a while at that point and was pretty brazen.
The only time I've seen someone get fired for something other than stealing, was when a part-time sup picked up a hazmat he knew was leaking in front of Keter auditors.
I've seen 2 physical altercations in the hub and they didn't get fired. Couldn't really call them fights, but damn near. Management knew about both too.
We got people coming in absolutely hammered or high as
and everyone looks the other way. We got a dude who on average works 3 days a week and they can't do anything about it. So yeah... you can pretty much do anything but steal.
