[QUOTE="stevetheupsguy, post: 482982, member: 9662"] You're right! I'd love to be back working and thought I'd be able to do my job just as well as I did it before. Turns out that my ankle and back are a bit worse than I thought. I've got a really high pain tolerance, but since I've been slowed to a halt I can really feel pain. I cleaned windows, moved packages/irregs, belt to belt and did loads of safety stuff. While doing the safety stuff, in the safety zone, I told my supe about his lack of seat belt use, while we were on the road. He denied that he had done this. He stepped out of the office, and when he came back upstairs, he started cursing me up and down. My center manager had sent him an email, telling him about my blog. He absolutely blew up, but then came back into the room and said he couldn't believe that I would do something like this. He calmed down quickly, left, and when he came back, he said the center manager was on the phone to talk to us. My center manager was pissed at him for not wearing his seat belt and he (center manager) was pissed at me for taking pictures while I was driving. My center manager was really pissed that I put his (center manager's) picture on my blog. On the better side of things, the center manager acknowledged that we really need to be real, when it comes to safety. He said that it was hypocritical to talk safety and do something different out on the road. He thought my rant was well written and to the point, but also said I was a hypocrite in not stating that we had the bulkhead door open between close proximity stops, which I thought was okay, since I never left the pkg car. I actually wanted to do good here, but in my speed to point my finger, I actually should have told my supe about the error of his ways. As was pointed out, I am a hypocrite, for what was pointed out to me. I would have done things differently in retrospect. I really want us to be safe, as we work. This will not only be more cost effective for UPS, but will allow other drivers to be on the road as well. I'm sorry, I didn't live up to my own standards, and for this I apologize.
