hitting a dog

[toonertoo]

Maybe if you cared MORE about your fellow man, they'd feel more about you. Go ahead, let me hear your rage, Lol.

I have no clue why you are upset. Have another beer. Appears my fellow man is on my side.......jus sayin

There are a whole bunch of separate issues here.

#1 hitting an animal that is running loose in a public road should never be deemed "avoidable." Our first responsibility is to maintain control of the package car at all times. The last thing we want to do is to hit another car, or a person, or to wrap the car around a tree because we were trying to avoid a loose animal.

#2 Calling a driver out in front of his/her coworkers at a PCM is cowardly and blatantly unprofessional. It is also harassment. Accusing a 23 year safe driver of dishonesty is even worse.

#3 UPS has never had a consistent, clear or rational definition of what constitutes an "accident". UPS has never had a consistent, clear or rational definition of what constitutes "avoidable". They make up the rules as they go and change them whenever they want to. The driver is always wrong. Warning letter are issued in order to meet quotas, not to change behavior. As a driver, it is pointless to care about safe driving years or awards because they have no correlation to actual safe driving ability.

#4 If you are young and healthy and productive and you get along well with your management team....pay close attention to this thread. Some day you wont be so young or healthy, and the management team you have now will be long gone. The sacrifices and extra effort you make today will mean nothing in 15 or 20 years. At UPS, you are only as good as your previous day's production. The moment that you are no longer able to make your immediate superior look good on paper, you become a liability rather than as asset and you will be treated accordingly.

Exactly. Well said. Exactly right. Like I wrote it myself.

Of all domesticated animals, dogs tend to best mimic the unpredictability of small children.

Your center manager is still pursuing this dead dog thing? Your building must have more drama then a High School Prom.

He probably e-mailed the letter as a courtesy to your BA and will follow that up with the certified letter.

I love border collies. I had a couple and an Australian Shepherd which is similar. Very smart dogs but have a lot of energy so you need to spend a lot of time with them or they can get destructive. Not aggressive though.

We have an 8 yr old female spayed and named Lady yes she has always been high maintenance. She is almost eight years old. We have been looking for a puppy for almost a year now but haven't had a lot of luck finding a local breeder. We had company over one day when she was just over a year old and she came out of daughters bedroom sporting one of her bras knotted around the top of her head all proud of herself my daughter was soooo embarassed.

I love all dogs. Actually like them better than most people. I'm not ignorant I know there's some you have to avoid. I have had almost every breed known to man. I settled on my white Doberman I'll probably never have another because they are so hard to find.
