Preloader v. hardcore union driver

[1989]

They’ll cut you some slack because you are new

I thinking was, they would cut me some slack, since I trained the center manager in 1991.

Fire you for what? Please post the contract language.

Its company policy.
What is this not a known thing?

Because it wasn’t company policy 30 years ago.

Ahh okay. Cuz ive heard people in our building being warned by both management and shop stewards...but noone immediately fired to my knowledge. Hopefully not fired

 

[MarvelousMunata]

Show me where I can find any company policy about "not" taking pictures of the back of your truck? And I am not talking about posting it to social media, just sharing it with your sup.

You cant take photos inside the building when on company property.
Theres the exception for drivers taking photos of the inside of their truck while on the road and communicating with their sups.
But inside the building is a no.

Feel free to ask your sup to see the policy regarding taking pictures of company property. If they do, and anything I've written about it is incorrect, please let us know. It's been a while since I read it, there may be exceptions I'm forgetting.

Because 30 years ago camera were the size of a house and no one just walked around with them at work. Policies change.

Why do you need to take a picture?

Nobody cares what your load looks like

I recommend you to be kind and respectful. Trying to get even could backfire and hurt you instead. You don't know if this driver is dealing with issues at home. Just do your best and be humble, kind and listen to drivers complaints and try to correct them. Perhaps the driver will eventually lighten up and react more positively to you. Perhaps make his truck your priority truck.

That’s actually a pretty good load. (TWSS)

My only question is, why didn’t you slide this package between the others on the shelf.

When you set them on top of each other like that, they just fall on the floor.

Yeah I should have.

 

[Re-Raise]

Yeah I should have.

Thanks! Otherwise, the load was great.

Do you see how easy that interaction was?

Everyone in every position at UPS should be open to constructive criticism as long as it is done in a respectful way,

And I am a 30yr hardcore union driver!

I can't believe that you waste your skills. You should be immediately promoted to CEO. Thank you for everything that you do.

I'm open to constructive criticism. My original post was just asking if I was going to get in trouble for him sending a picture of a box that broke open.

I’m my last building, a driver got fired for dishonesty via camera, telematics, not communicating with management. His dishonesty was discovered because he was 3-4 hours over the other 8-10 drivers that do that route.

They caught him stealing time via other methods, not because he was over according to their algorithm

If they weren’t stealing 3 daily, they wouldn’t have been caught stealing elsewhere.

so...you are the man directly responsible for training a Center Manager...

figures.....a loader training a center manager...now everything makes sense.

when you say "other methods", what are you referring to?
