[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 920768, member: 17969"] Sober, as i said, its about his decision making for the company. Despite a policy that says he is NOT to engage ,chase or provote, he did all three, at one time. What does this say for his judgement? In the future, the company has to decide if this guy is capable of making the right decisions behind the counter. Yes, I agree, emotions play a big part in this case, but its those emotions that ran away with logic that doomed this clerk and not a company policy. People have to use logic and stay calm. Thinking rationally should never escape anyone. The FEMALE robbers in this case took no money and fled out the door, was it rational for this guy to give chase and risk his life for a zero gain robbery? That speaks for itself. The two women attempted to rob the store but were unsuccessful. This reduced the need to chase the women out the door and into an uncontrolled situation where the clerk had no idea what was waiting outside. As to a UPS driver, we have had many situations like this. IN each case, NOT one driver took any action that further jeopardized his/her life. If a hijacking took place, and the hijackers were driving away after letting the driver go, and the driver chased the truck to try and catch the hijackers and ended up becoming injured, UPS would probably terminate the driver. This shows a lack of judgement. The truck and the contents are insured, so there is NO REASON to increase risk. I would defend the driver, but would seriously discuss with the driver the stupidity of his actions. At UPS, I dont believe we have an actual policy that forbids us from chasing, provoking or engaging anyone who threatens us on the road. But common sense tells us NOT TO DO IT. Years ago, we had a hijacking where a female driver was taken hostage, her truck driven to the hills with her duct taped in the back and the trucks contents emptied. After the hijackers took what they wanted, they left her alone in the rear unharmed other than shaken from the experience. Maybe those supporters of this guy would have rathered "SHE" became some kind of McGiver and cut herself loose from the duct tape and taken on the two male hijackers in some kind of heroric effort? Lets not be stupid with the case. KEEP IT REAL. Look at the facts, there was NO REASON for this clerk to give chase, [B]NO MONEY[/B] was taken. It was a foolish act on the clerks part AFTER the intial tussle and the chase began. Peace. [/QUOTE]
