Quitting: And getting your job back

[gman042]

We recently had a driver come in and quit. No notice. Been with the company for 7 years. I and several other drivers(even the CS) tried to talk him out of it when we heard what he planned to do. He was adamant and even went as far as to sign his letter of resignation.
In an unprecedented move, management (CS AND center manager) held the letter of resignation for 2 days giving the driver a grace period to come to his senses and reconsider his choice. Which he did.
Life is about choices and consequences. As a work group we cannot allow this driver to come back like nothing happened.

What should be his consequence for being allowed to keep his job?

Was their a specific reason or extenduating circumstances as to why he wanted to quit at that moment?

What can other drivers really do to make his job harder?

Throw misloads in his truck at the end of preload? Not help him when your management directs you to? Cold shoulder whenever he tries to start a conversation?


Hey now, starting to sound a lot like high school....



[EDIT: Ohhhhh, maybe you could get together with a bunch of drivers with more seniority than the employee-in-question and bid him off his route.]

Nothing. As long as he didn't shaft everyone around him by bringing the load back unfinished. If he did? Beat down.

 

[brownmonster]

Continue on like nothing happened.

He sure did get a huge break!

Our shop stewards do this, routinely.

Nothing at all. We all make mistakes and make bad decisions. You make bad decisions when your younger and as you get older you learn from them. Obviously management n I hate even saying this, but maybe they liked the guy and had a little compassion for the guy. He made an indecisive decision from the get go, it happens, is what it is. Give the guy a break nobody needs to act like a freakin peckerhead jerknutt to the guy. You people are funny the ones who have hate in your heart for people. Friends or coworkers like that, who the hell needs enemies WORD

Sounds like he already 2 days unpaid to think about his actions. That sounds like plenty to me.

Why do you care? Do your job and don't worry about his.

Props to the center manager for doing the stand up thing.

Why not? What does it matter to the rest of you? Why would you try and talk him out of it then have a problem with him coming back? Sounds like you guys are a tough bunch to work with.

We all make mistakes!
Maybe something really bad,was going on in his life. he got a huge break.

What if the shoe was on the other foot?
What punisment should Gman,recieve??

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

What does any of this have anything to do with you and why do you feel the need for retribution? Rather than try to hurt him why don't you try to help him.

If the guy did it more than once....I could see Gman's problem with it. But I'd bet almost every single one of us has all hit that wall at Brown at least once where we ALMOST quit. If you haven't....then either you haven't worked here very long or you're not paying much attention. Give the guy a break.
