[QUOTE="Griff, post: 292043, member: 7111"] Nice fantasy world you're living in. That isn't the way UPS works, at least not here. I've been issued [I][B]many[/B][/I] warning letters over my 6 or 7 years with UPS and I've gotten them *ALL* removed. I'll repeat myself, not one warning letter has ever stuck to me. Fortunately, management here hasn't been stupid enough to try to give me a warning letter for failing to recite safety poems. You shouldn't seek to be disciplined, but you should wait for it because most times it won't ever happen. UPS has a very defined tactic of trying to get what they want and it's up to you to throw it back in their face. Here's a typical morning conversation for me with management. Management: "Gee, you were overallowed yesterday, what happened out there?" Me: "The union doesn't recognize your time standards." Management: "What do you mean. These are your numbers, this is your production!!!!" Me: "That's nice." Management: "You have a cavalier attitude! You're looking for problems and you're gonna get them!" Me: "So are you going to discipline me? More importantly are you threatening me?" [I]This is usually where they get red faced.[/I] Me: "Didn't think so. Bye." [I][B]If management isn't willing to demonstrate that they are willing to discipline over the matter -- I have no reason to care.[/B][/I] Weak threats are just that, weak threats. My job has been threatened more times than I can count on both hands for a variety of reasons. Have I ever been fired -- nope. I'm not liked because I call their bluffs, I don't take crap and I take what's mine. I give out advice on this board that I practice everyday of the week, my track record that I've spelled out in this post speaks for itself. P.S. (EDIT) -- Anyone who follows his "DONT" list shouldn't bother paying union dues anymore. This is a sure fire way to become a laydown boy for your management team. Question everything, bring the contract up frequently, hold them accountable and don't put up with crap. [/QUOTE]
