Obviously I'm not the only one reading this thread so don't pat yourself on your back for an apology not meant for you. The company throws employees under the bus in the interest of their business as a matter of course. Unless of course you believe they would throw themselves under the bus for a hourly and replaceable employee first. I have seen and even experienced the same thing that happened to Toon and the sympathise with the emotions of betrayal by UPS. But, thing are what they are at UPS and they will 100% of the time choose themselves and their image every single time. I, you, and the rest of the brown army are expendable. That's all I've been saying and I think it needed to be said to help get the issue for her to a better position going forward. Because forward is the only path left to choose from.
I have found when dealing with politics, people, and conflict that dealing with what can't be changed logjams and isolates people in organizations. Finding common ground through reconciliation, acquiescence, and time helps more than pounding sand over issues that people in positions of authority have no choice but to follow. I know this sound metaphysical but I do belive everything in life happens for a reason and that the forces of life and existence seek balance. What we lose sometimes is but a prelude to a greater gain. And maybe, its just a bad break nd, well, is life full of those.
