[QUOTE="soberups, post: 401798, member: 14668"] The reality of theft at UPS is that anyone who is smart enough can get away with it....once. The thing is, though, that someone who is stupid or desperate enough to risk a career by stealing isnt just going to do it "once." Such a person has a problem...drugs, gambling, whatever. If they get away with it once, they are going to do it again. And they will get caught. The frustrating part is that it is impossible for me to take UPS's "clean-in/clean-out" loss prevention program seriously, because UPS doesnt take it seriously. It is a joke. It is a waste of my time. It serves no real purpose other than to provide a warm, fuzzy feeling of accomplishment to the imbecile that wrote the memo to implement it. We have a "guard shack" that is little more than an oversized broom closet. The walls and doors are made of metal, which renders the detector useless. It is staffed by unarmed, minimum-wage earning high school dropouts who get tired of the constant screeching and beeping every time the door is opened. So they turn the sensitivity down, to the point where you can walk thru with keys, cellphone, or whatever without setting it off. UPS---if you want me to take your program seriously, then take it seriously yourself. Build a real guard shack. Get a functioning metal detector. Hire competent professionals to operate it. Establish a system that balances your need for security with the rights of honest employees to get in to work on time or to go home without being unreasonably delayed. Until you are willing to do that...and we all know you wont be...quit wasting my time and harassing me when I am off the clock and just trying to go home. [/QUOTE]
