Jane Union - special treatment

[ChickenLegs]

It has also come to my attention that the birthing hips of said females have nothing to do with it. It seems they are all treated with favoritism to meet and keep their diversity policy numbers.

I want moved to one of those centers where I will get treated like a Princess coz I am female.

 

[Bubblehead]

We have two female pkg car and 1 female feeder driver in my center. None of the three receive special treatment.

You three are like the Charlie's Angels of UPS.

Every employee should be required to adhere to the qualifications of the specific job they were hired to do. No exceptions. Period. (No pun intended)

I don't like the dislike button either. But I don't dislike the disliker.

In the 27 years that I have been driving, I have not seen any favoritism given to the female drivers in our building. Nor have I seen any of our women expecting preferential treatment.

Don't you work out of a satellite center by yourself?

Well for Pete's sakes-----we wouldn't expect anything different in the BOG. (Integrity-- that means Bubble of Goodness in case you weren't paying attention).

Pretty much all the guys I've come across who bitch about women getting treated better at work are guys who have issues with women in general anyway. They also tend to be the guys are just constantly bitching about everything.

Essentially becoming what they dislike.

 

[cachsux]

The only thing I've realized and seen is that there is an unwritten rule not to bump a female in a bidded position. I've seen a couple people looked down on by fellow drivers because he took her route. Not that there is anything wrong with what they did, but just seems to be an unspoken practice.

TFS Seniority is seniority.

Are the women allowed to bump a guy off a route? There ya go.

I did have a bulk stop get put on me once from the route next to me that had a gal for the bid driver. This bulk stop started getting a bunch of oversized irregs every day, 80-100 lbs, that were a real problem for her to deal with. I am 6-2 and 260, she was 5 foot zero on her tiptoes and maybe 105 lbs soaking wet. It was never discussed; it just happened. To be fair, she was a hard worker who was always willing to help out, and they wound up giving her a couple of pain in the ass apartment complexes off of my route in "exchange" so it wound up being a reasonably fair deal for both of us. And in her case it wasnt so much about gender as it was about her small size; I was simply better suited for that particular work.

I think you just defined preferential treatment. I doubt that exchange would have happened had it been a small male driver.

Wouldn't you think that especially in the BOG females would be treated with kid gloves?

How would that differ from everyone else?

Most all the women at my hub only bump other women.

you have a point there

Because in my previous post I said that the 3 females drivers in my center do not receive special treatment.

Most of the women at my building i would hate to meet in a dark alley. They hold their own pretty well.

And "there own" is probably bigger than most guys
