Experience of being tested to see if you are mentally fit of doing our job and what it would entail... (not drug tested) Long story short. I have no discipline history because I have been standing up against their harassment and now it just keeps getting worse. (They told me they were going to give me a warning letter for using my first PAID sick day of the year at one point.)
There just has to be more to this story. we see this all the time here.
Reefer madness!
My guess is OP is the only person in his center willing to stick up for himself and his management team doesn't want other people to follow suit. So they are trying to break him down to show the rest "what happens when you file" to intimidate them from not becoming like OP.
ed” (also have witnesses). Then shortly after during peak I get a text from him saying how he wants to fire me. So I grieved the comment and text. And stated that they are now messing with my mental state of mind. I then noticed my time cards were being altered and called the 800 number about everything and had a sup fix them. Started a new bid trip. Sup was trying to make me run. He would literally be huffing and puffing by the time I got to the truck. He tried to get me to sign for a package for a business and just leave it and I told him no he could falsify records but I wouldn’t. He keep getting me to try to scan while walking and I told them that is not how they teach us to do it in driving school. We then talked about how I would not be able to do the numbers that we were doing because he was delivering stops with a phone and helping with pickups and he agreed also because of area knowledge. So what does he do. First day on my own the pickups and the stop count goes up. Sent in messages businesses and pickups would be missed. In return received a little help but still had service failures. Next day sup goes back out with me. Pushing me to go faster and instructed me to scan while walking so I did so and unfortunately now I am injured and on light duty. They refused to acknowledge that my injury was because of his instructions but I researched my rights and asked for the list of drs to choose from which finally I received and now am getting proper care. Heard grievances today and it was a run around even with black and white evidence. It was brought up that they want to see if I am deemed mentally fit to do the job in response of the grievances.
Everything @542thruNthru said! You can't just use the methods for a week then go back to cutting corners because it will come back to bite you in the ass. It is very hard to retrain yourself to do all the little stuff like 3 points of contact, use walk paths only, fold mirrors in, check around and under your package car, etc. at every single stop! But once you do it's a very good feeling to know you are doing what the company TELLS you to do and it adds a bunch of time. What the company wants is for you to know what they tell you to do but work how the actually want you to work. Unfortunately a lot of people fall for their crap.
as you can see a couple posts from your maybe the rest of the story came out.
just frustrated. ....you're right. that is what this forum is for. I have always respected your advice.
HR called from a private UPS number to say they received the info and will be in contact. Then HR Followed up and called me and asked for details and then acted like they were in a rush to get off the phone and said thank up and hung up. Now it’s about three months later and haven’t heard anything or seen any changes.
