[QUOTE="DownTimeIsNeverOnTime, post: 1151969, member: 48107"] Sup ya'll... new here...but not new to the shenanigans that occurs on a daily basis at UPS... Amusing story from last week..... I run Irregs at my hub and last Thursday I had 6 people call in "sick". I've been around the system long enough to know that the guys in my group follow their occasions and know when they "drop off" so they could just call in. So we start up, and my lead asks why we were short-staffed; I told him that 6 had called in. He went on to say: "Write 'em up. Our Manager doesn't stand for this kind of absenteeism. " I laughed right in front of him after he said that. In my 7 years as a part-time sup, I've worked under 9 managers. All of them have preached about "discipline" and "holding them accountable". I can't count how many times I've discharged an employee who has already had 6 discharges on his or her record ( just on attendance alone ) and the manager "worked out a deal" with the Teamster Business Agent that oversaw the discipline hearing because of backroom deals.
