[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1334592, member: 42691"] Chalk it up to lesson learned. Judging from the things you've said here, you don't sound like you're built to last with this company. Trying to impress your managers with big performance numbers is the main reason you are in this position. Every time there is a post like this, the wiser drivers will try to impress upon the OPer that they need to "do things by the book every time." When they say this, they aren't telling you to do this when you feel like it, or when it's convenient, but EVERY TIME. Every time, means every time. When you get lazy, or bend to will of a desperate supervisor, you are rolling the dice with your job. UPS supervisors are KNOWN for telling you do something against the rules, then denying it later. To quote the title of your post, "Fired today for something we have all done," is not an excuse you can use to prevent yourself from getting fired. And please, speak for yourself. Many of us aren't afraid to run by the rules, regardless of what management says. This much I know: if you don't adjust the way you work, you will eventually get fired for good. No matter how much of a pet you are, UPS will drop you like a hot potato if you continue to screw up. It's on you, man. What are you going to do about it? [/QUOTE]
