[QUOTE="balland chain, post: 1124984, member: 43608"] UPS will never listen to us hourly worker WHO do see what goes on out there with OUR customers.. They are fed up, I agree.. Years ago, I approached my supervisor to suggest something about the run I was doing (to improve service). I was told, and I will never forget these words, I quote "you are here to work, not to think." Since that day, I no longer gave my mind to UPS..Then one day, we were told to meet for packages that were being shuttled out to us due to a late trailer.. I went to the meet point and there were about four of us drivers waiting.. After 30 minutes or so, my co-workers started to leave. I kept waiting..and waiting.... then after about an hour and a half, I went into a business to call.. I was told then that they changed their minds and the shuttle was not coming.. They then asked why I had waited so long.. I said I was instructed to meet the shuttle, and that is what I was doing..They asked about the other drivers, and I told them that they had left.. When asked why I was still there, I told that same sup. that I was instructed to meet there and that is what I was doing,,When he said why did you just not leave after waiting for so long, you should have realized that the shuttle was not coming.. I referred to his quote.. I am here to work, not think... money in the bank..I work by that same quote to this day,, I give them my labor, not my brain..THEY created this attitude.. When I started 26 years ago, I was a loyal gung ho, delivery monster...Not anymore.. [/QUOTE]
