[dookie stain]

I took package car keys home once...called the center and they said bring them back in the morning...and this sumbitch is fired for walking out with a used roll of tape? Wonderful

Not his problem if he doesn't have tape.

Not worth losing a job

It is a "sticky situation".

Did they tell him to get packing?

I remember the good old days when you leave 2 rolls of tape on your stick shift.
It was there everyday so the preloader could grab some when needed instead of putting it in his bag.
Now we have these damn automatics !!!!!!

Remember those days @fiftyliners ???? LOL

I've got brown totes full of tape at home, in my garage. So much in fact, I can't get to my black handcart!

My friend (yes literally my friend not me) was fired for leaving the building with a roll of tape in his bag. He was stopped at the guard check with the tape and the center manager came out. He said "that's company property, we need to make an example out of him" and took his badge.

Steward has fellow box liners signing a petition.

Thoughts?

I had a very hard working and conscientious employee do that.
He had a work apron he wore to put things in he found.
One day he had a roll of tape he forgot to unload from his apron.
LP wanted to fire him ... I said no.
He was from Lebanon and his English was broken.
He had returned watches and even a Krugerrand he found in a trailer.

Years ago, I brought my own scotch tape in to tape load sequence paper to doors. They thought I stole it. showed the receipt from staples. The look on their face was priceless.

 

[burrheadd]

I understand but I do find it hard to believe that anyone would honestly believe someone would try to steal a roll of tape on purpose.

You must be new here

No tape no problem
Send it on down the belt

 

[Wally]

I wonder if LP called this guy "sticky fingers"?

I leave two rolls on the seatbelt connector. It works!

Your friend will be back to work in a few days. Same thing happened at our small hub. One of the old farts was fired for taking a tape gun home and was back to work shortly after.

Unpaid suspension sounds like the outcome of this, tell him to be humble and grovel at their feet.

This friend should be telling his shop steward and his BA to get a grievance going asap. This way he at least has an oppertunity to plea his case. Plain and simple....petitions mean nothing except the union workers want him back but managment does not care...chances are its a joke in thier meetings at some point.

Secondly IF your friend gets his job back and he needs tape at home just ask someone in managment you never know they may just say yes especially if it is a half roll.

Good luck

Hub supervisors here would take a tote of supplies and keep it in their car. 8 tape guns 8 rolls of tape through the guard shack every day. Otherwise they woul have none the nextday

I hope the firing sticks.

Yep. Seatbelt connector or over the DR bag spool if it's slimmed down enough from use.

 

[Wally]

I hope the firing sticks.

It may. They have tape on him.

If your BA is worth a this should be thrown out pretty quick. Anyone with half a brain would realize you wouldn't risk the job for less than a roll of packing tape.

We had a driver who was fired for what amounted to theft of services----he "borrowed" a peel off bar code from one of his pickup customers to ship back a personal package.
