[QUOTE="OLDMAN3, post: 1412798"] I have seen a driver a few days after his wife sustained a life threatening injury brought into the office and berated over his performance...while he was dealing with possibly losing his wife or at best having to care for her for the rest of her life. He exited the office crying his eyes out. No sympathy from management, we drivers figured they were trying to get him to quit when he was vulnerable. Also a driver/reservist called up to active duty reporting at midnight the Friday of the Shock and Awe campaign. The war was new and full tilt and no one knew if our men would be lost in great numbers. UPS made him work that Friday while 4 supervisors sat on their asses in the office. Imagine not being allowed to spend that last day with your family! There is no justification for this shooter's actions. But at the same time it just brings to a head the ongoing problem of a corporate culture that is seriously dysfunctional. We (hourlies and management) are human beings worthy of respect and dignity. It is time for this corporate culture to change. [/QUOTE]
