My first accident

[El Correcto]

I accidentally scratched a truck and was fired on the spot. I was told that its UPS policy to fire anyone who causes any damage to vehicles or property.

We had a guy total a truck and become our on road supervisor. Lmao.

That's not true unless you failed to report it.

My take on the circle of honor— it’s complete bs. Management plays a huge roll in if you make it or not.
For example. I *cracked* my side mirror on a tree branch hanging over the road. Reported it to my sup. Got back to building and was told to take to mechanics bay to have them fix it up.
Literally took the mechanic 3 minutes to PEEL off the mirror and STICK a new one over it. Next day I’m charged with an accident and have to go through all the safety ride along motions and training bs. Over a $5 mirror. Couldn’t care less if I make it or not honestly.

Definitely some politics and favoritism goes into that.

Or some lying....

I tell the guys that crack a mirror to just write it up on DVIR and forget to tell management. Mechanics will replace the mirror and nothing else will be said.

I'm told to act like you know nothing and the car washer must of broke it.

Honesty is the best policy. You don't want to get fired for something stupid

Back in the old days you call your center manager they would say write it up but today I wouldn't hide it, it's not worth your job

I agree but I have found that the less management knows the happier they are. I documented a cracked mirror by writing it up in the DVIR.

Circle of honor will be non existent in 5-10 yrs. 3 yrs ago I had to fight tooth and nail to get the leather jacket so i could sell it on eBay for $150. Management promotes unsafe driving now because of the number chasing culture that ups has embraced.

Been ready to go but then some new millennial manager shows up wanting to teach me who's boss and I have to stay just out of spite.

We don't have paid sick days. In fact I am running a PT PM letter box route this week while on vacation. Easy peasy downtown route. Between the virus and the curfew I just ride around for a few hours.

Dude, I break more on foot. Not my problem.
