Make the call?
Number one what you did was wrong. Yes its BS if the person complaining is the way you describe. And getting witnesses to testify to the way that person acts would help your case but you're still wrong in todays overly sensitive to race issues world. The rules are you can't speak that way. Period. You can call it BS , make a good case that you were not treated fairly but if your stupid enough to use that language at work then you are risking your job.
If the company really dislikes you as you allude and wanted to fire you then you were stupid to play into their hands by giving them something like this which generally does not sound good in front of a panel when you are fighting for your job.
Did the company take advantage of a situation that came up to fire someone they did not like. Its very likely.
Did the company pay the complaintent so they could take you out absolutely not.
Were you wrong to use that kind of language at work. Yes you were.
Thats my call. And you won't find it in any company literature.[/quote
Boy Tieguy..you really know how to make a girl feel good! What do you think I am an idiot?
Of course I know it was wrong to use that language, what I am saying is everyone in the hub is allowed to use this kind of language without discipline of any kind and now all of a sudden after 4 years of employment I am being singled out for it.
And yes I believe the company ran with this comment...I live where there is 95% whites, rural community. The supervisor on duty overheard two other employees saying the same phrases and comments I did and they didn't get disciplined.
I do know there is all sorts of Harrasment.
Thanks for the list
Channahon!
Thanks for the comments
Red we all work hard at UPS...and under paid in my book. UPS should feel lucky that they aren't paying LUMPERS to unload their trailers like the rest of the freight companies in this nation. Other wise they would be broke! (LUMPERS make $150-$500 per trailer unload!)
Tie, why do you think I should have to settle for anything? Do you settle for things this important in your life?
Thats my comments and I am sticking to them!
