Too many crazy people?

Re: To many crazy people?
I - I don't feel it is my place to determine whether or not another employee is bothered by screaming. Some are unfazed. I have seen others upset and have offered to witness for them if needed.
The worst sup in our building once screamed at me. I worked as he directed but stopped by his office on my way out to tell him I wasn't the type of employee he needed to scream at and to please not do it again. He hasn't.
I agree with you that the screaming is abusive and shouldn't happen. However, I've come to realize that it's their way of getting adrenaline (sp) pumping and people moving faster. It also causes tempers to flare and often leaves one feeling drained and unhappy. I don't let that happen anymore. I don't like to hear the yelling but have accepted it for what it is. Thanks for your input!

It's like when some guy backs into your personal car in the mall parking lot while you are in the stores shopping. A few distant onlookers watch as he writes a note and places it under your windshield wiper. Later you read the note which says only, "A few distant onlookers are watching me write this useless note and place it under your windshield wiper. Ha-Ha. Have a nice day."

IMO a certain amount of derangement is advantageous in life.

What is the magic number where you cross the threshold from some crazy people to too many crazy people. Is it more nuts than you can shake a stick at?

Numerous calls to the help line. Numerous meetings 'upstairs' with the Labor sup and the Division Labor Manager.

We have a long term preloader, a great person and the best in the center, who has a gift. I don't know if you believe in such things but she has a psychic ability.
When she gets that overwhelming feeling that something is going to happen, it always does.
She says there will be a incident of workplace violence within the year and there will be casualties.
I'm keeping a sharp lookout.

Re: To many crazy people?
I have bad dreams about ups all the time.
An abandoned mall with hundreds of package cars left behind by some disaster,and me with 4 deliveries left can't find mine.
When I do find it every stop is a huge ordeal,with mudslides and snakes n stuff
I like potato chips and radishes with coffee,
but not at the same time.
are you crazy? heck no,why do I look crazy?

Just got off phone with my mother. Her and Dad spent this past weekend at the cottage. A few cottages down from ours is another family from Brownville. I graduated with their youngest daughter. She has a young lad about 20 yrs old. His mother asked my mother if I had the same supervisor as he did. Mom wasn't sure as I don't like talking about work with her. The story went on about what a nut-job this sup is. The young lad was relaying stories that no one could believe. Power trips and how it seemed sometimes she was like 2 different people. I about died. Mom couldn't remember the sups name. I said ****** and she said yes.
I haven't spoken with so and so or her son in about 15 years. There is no way he knows what I call Psycho Susie, Wacky J***** or any of her other as yet unnamed personalities.
I thought it hilarious, at first, but then, very sad. UPS allows these people to abuse their employees. It has been reported several times and is still ignored. Why? This is the quote from the Labor sup in my area, "She has the best discipline record in the district." That is why a supervisor who is known to be off balance is allowed to continue to work here. Boy, That explains it!

An event such as this is inevitable in our current work environment. Corporate knows this. They don't care as long as they aren't in danger and they can blame the violence on a deranged employee. Insurance will cover any casualties and profits won't be affected. Security will become more invasive for the rest of us.

There is tort law called "Negligence in employment" Talk the local Union attorney for details.
