[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 949141, member: 37112"] UPS Lifer, I apologize if I offended you with my caustic remarks. However you did say you talked the driver out of quitting "at peak". I've seen too often the change in attitude from management to hourlies during the season when hourlies are needed the most. I don't ascribe to the "us versus them" situation you speak of, I just reported what happens too often. Hourlies are diamonds at peak and coal the rest of the year. It need not be this way and likely you treated employees better than most. The issue of abuse in call ins goes both ways. Short staffing these days exacerbates the problem. One asks off, gets denied, calls in, gets discipline. No one is happy, and suspicion creeps into the legit calls. My many years at UPS were enjoyable and I believe a good bargain for both sides, 33 yrs safe driving, co chair safety committee, driver trainer, steward... Many good friendships with hourlies and management. The story of your fellow is troubling. I hope he sought help, it's too bad someone couldn't help him. Mental health issues are sad. Sorry again for the comeback, I was in a lousy mood. I'm not a "hater". [/QUOTE]
