Awards......

We had a driver get recognized this morning in our PCM for 31 years of safe driving. He was awarded an umbrella.

We had a driver get recognized this morning in our PCM for 31 years of safe driving. He was [-]awarded[/-] slapped in the face with an umbrella.

Fixed it for ya. Sheesh, that's just embarassing.

That was to shield him from all the buddy*t that was soon to rain on him and rest of the drivers when the PCM continued.

No--all we got was the bird.

Strange that..............We usually get a box of cheap and nasty European Chocolate (no English Chocolate) along with a tacky UPS coffee mug.Christmas 2009 we got nothing because of the recession but Christmas 2010 we got the box of cheap and nasty European chocolate (not English chocolate) and the tacky coffee mug back.

That's why UPS is an economic bellwether - the quality of its Christmas tchotchke is proportionate to the health of the host economy.

Pretty sad if you can't give away your xmas gift to the less fortunate, because you would feel darn guilty even giving it away !

Since we copy everything UPS does, it's only a matter of time until we discontinue rewards for our Safe Driving too. As someone said already in this thread, you've saved them tens of thousands of dollars (and possibly millions) by being safe for 25 years. That deserves more than a crap pin and an "attaboy".

It sure a damn shame that UPS got rid of the Circle of Honor banquets. Now, they get a patch. After the years of safe driving, saving UPS countless thousands of dollars from not having a crash, UPS is too damn cheap not rewarding them. It's a SHAME!!!!!

Drive a million miles safely and what do you get????? BOHICA!!! That's why Morale amongst drivers is little by little if not already gone down the toilet along with respect for the company as a whole should treat you better

I never realized they got rid of the banquets also. Does that mean you no longer get one of those god awful realestate salesman blazers either? Wow---I guess that means I have a genuine collectors piece of clothing gathering dust and moth holes in my catch all closet.

Never even heard of those. Can you post a pic?

Try to picture a Century 21 real estate salesperson.

The banquets here in Upstate NY were held in Syracuse and were quite nice. Drivers who had to travel were put up for the night in a nice hotel and the meal was top notch.

I guess now all you get is an umbrella for 31 years safe driving.

 

[reydluap]

No diner for me. It took about a year to even get the 25 year patch. OMS just handed me the bag it came in and said "Here you go". Whatever!

That is appalling and cannot be excused.

Naw...makes a nice oil mat for the garage.

 

[wornoutupser]

I earned my 25 year patch quite a while back. My center manager refuses to recognize it. I agree-whatever!

That my friend, was funny.
