Overboard Termination looking for advice

[UPSGUY72]

I know about leads it was just a quick run and I was done I should've went with my gut and yelled out for the lower belt to be shut off but I was just off my game that day I agree with you.

I love it when people don't follow the rules and get fired and say I only broke the rules for a a couple of seconds or a "quick run". Your not suppose to be running either..... Follow the rules there they to keep you and your fellow employees unhurt and better yet alive.

I didn't actually run figure of speech but I agree those rules are to keep me safe I just got caught up with the weekend and got too happy and screwed up.

Sir, I too, am familiar with the LEADS acronym.

You've never been on the sort aisle. Sorting a trailer AND a runout/missort belt.

You've never manned a pickoff tower.

You've never sorted a charge aisle.

You've never unloaded/loaded a package car/trailer.

See where I'm going? You've never experienced life at brown in the same manner, OP has.

You've never been put in the same corner OP has. Somehow, here you are. Seriously...

"You don't have to know how to load/sort/pickoff to be able to deliver 'em."

The guy admitted he screwed up. No need to beat him up about it. He's taking his knocks like a man, cut him some slack.

Or, to be a "holier than thou", pompous twit.

I didn't say he didn't I just said I I love it when people try to minimize what they did to make it seem like it wasn't a big deal....

Yh just a bad day for me I don't even know the guy that terminated me which is how bad the communication is around there.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

I agree it was a bad idea I just don't agree with the dramatic punishment I was just trying to help my high picks out real fast and got in trouble.

"I was trying to be a hero" just say it out loud

Just keep repeating "I will never do that again, I will never do that again".

 

[Work safe or not at all.]

I doubt the back pay union already said it's a stretch in my position.

You should not have been taken out if service, walking on a belt is not a cardinal offense. Warning? Sure. Intent to discharge? Why not? Although it would not stick. But taken out? No way.

Lol yh that's pretty much what happened and I got the axe for comradiry I can't survive on a dairy queen salary though so I have to get back to work.

The management in that hub is a joke to say the least but if I can go back that'll be fine.

LOL If that was only the case. People are a creature of habit....

You will be back and management will still be a joke. But you will be smarter for it.

Honestly, it ain't worth it. Let the belts jam up, melt down, catch fire, if you can't shut down a belt to help a co-worker, or whatever the case may be....that's why UPS pays supervisors, to supervise.

In my building the preload runs the irregs on the belt while they're pulling the cages. That's an exception to the rules even thou it's unsafe. Probably because the belt is low and if you fall you won't go too far.

The cemetery is full of hero's..........don't be a hero.
The pay is the same for non-hero's.

They place the irregs on the same belt the preloaders are walking on while pulling cages?

 

[UnconTROLLed]

Yes, in our hub too. It's NOT safe because people will holler they are turning on belt, and you can't hear them. I twisted my back pretty good once when this happened.
