[QUOTE="plisken, post: 52792"] Air, and Tooner, I agree with both of you. While I'm tempted to join the chronically slow, I can't. I have too much pride in what I'm doing as well, and while I can't say I love what I do, I can say I like it. And that is alot more than most people can say about their jobs. While I can't let myself slip into uselesness, and I can't let the boss run me into the ground either, I can, and do, stand up for myself and make sure that when the heat seems to be on me for no appearant reason, that I point out the fact that there are bigger fish to fry, i.e. the chronically slow folks around me. Usually, after I make my case I am left alone. I know we are all human and can't work at 110% all the time. It is during those down days that we need to help each other. I totally understand that, most people do. I haven't been around ups that long, but I have been around long enough to know that my chronically slow, and absent, co-workers would get canned in a heartbeat, at almost any other job, for performing the way they do day in, and day out. Like I said before, I'm all for the priveledge of calling off sick and being allowed so many days off that is allowed at ups. It doesn't mean you have to take them all, plus more days. Of course, If something comes up the days are there for you. Most of the people who are chronically absent think they are sticking it to ups, but they aren't they are sticking it to their co-workers who are left to do their work. Some people just dont care! It doesn't matter who comes and goes, ups keeps going! [/QUOTE]
