[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 218861, member: 7185"] I think that's what happened to me. Never could prove it happened, of course, but I suspected it. In my case, I don't think my full-time sup was the problem. I think it was the [I]sort[/I] manager that stepped in and put the "go slow" order in the file. What a man, by the way. Very old school, etc. A few days after my announcement of my planned transfer/separation, I was pretty quiet--lot on my mind, etc. I was an irreg worker on my hub's primary and had just pulled a cart to the belt when the control room door swung open and my full-time supervisor came flying out. I tensed, waiting for a reaming (for what, you never knew). He just smiled slightly and asked what the problem was. I told him, "J, I really have to get back to work. If I don't, B is gonna tear me apart!" He waved that off and said, "You both work for [I]me[/I]! He won't say a word to you if he sees we're talking." I sighed and told him the problem--car wreck two days earlier, the school transfer, etc, etc. He wasn't a maroon, he knew which was really bothering me since the car-wreck wasn't major, just a headache I didn't need. He said, "Listen. I was 19, 20 years old, working for UPS. I had two great choices--work for UPS full-time or continue my education. I chose to work for UPS full-time over my education. If there was one thing--[I]one[/I] thing--I could do over, [I]that[/I] would be it." My mouth hit the floor. He nodded and walked away. He'd made his point. I mean, I had thought to myself, "This guy is making [I]great[/I] money, a job pretty much for [I]life[/I], etc, etc. He must be pretty happy!" I was wrong. I separated from UPS at the end of Peak 2004 and returned in December 2006 as a helper. Sorry for the rant but maybe it will serve somebody's purpose. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
