[QUOTE="Jones, post: 679953, member: 4805"] You really don't get it and it's easy to see why. You think that working for UPS is like being in the military and it's not, it's completely different. In the military you have leaders and teammates, at UPS you have managers and coworkers. The two goals of military leadership are: 1. Accomplishment of the mission 2. Welfare of the troops The one goal of UPS management is to return a profit to the shareholders. Big Difference. It's not their job to give a rat's ass about you and believe me, they don't. You're just a tool to them. In the military your teammates are the ones you eat, sleep and live with. You work together and look out for each other and fight for each other because you all swore an oath to serve your country and working as a team gives everyone the best chance of making it home in one piece. At UPS you have coworkers who are just there to do their job and earn a paycheck. Delivering a Lands End package to Grandma has nothing to do with national security. Big difference. In the military loyalty goes both ways up and down the chain of command. At UPS loyalty doesn't go anywhere. You better look out for yourself because no one else will, least of all your manager. They don't have any loyalty to each other, and they sure as hell don't have any loyalty to you. But talking about loyalty for a second, think about what you did. You say you "saved the company from sending another driver out there at $28 per hour". No you didn't. What you really did is screw your coworker who's trying to earn a living and feed his family. Where's your "loyalty" to him? Like I said earlier, some day the light is gonna switch on in your head, you're gonna realize what kind of company you work for, and you're gonna feel like a fool when you remember the things you did and said.
