[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 58033"] Proups, I'm sorry you seem to be getting confused as I never supported cutting United Way as a protest, but empathized with the driver's frustration regarding excessive forced overtime. I have said you shouldn't support company sponsored and payroll deducted United Way if you do not respect your local management team. At this time I do and I have United Way weekly payroll deductions. Neither have I ever mentioned anything about management jobs being linked to their job security, just that many of them use disturbingly strong arm intimidation tactics to reach those goals. Try to read slower or more comprehensively. I didn't file my first grievance until I was giving my first warning letter ever on my 20th anniversary date with the company for a BS DR claim that I successfully fought. They gave me the plaque for twenty years in front of the other drivers and then told me to come into the office directly afterwards and gave me the warning letter. (Typical class move) The twenty year plaque went into the wastepaper container right there in the center manager's office. That was the last time I put up with any of the BS this company dumps continously on it's workforce (not all supes, just too many of them and a lot of it seems to be instilled from high up). So don't try to project a negative or trouble maker attitude on me I only call it as it is and react when management does something wrong. I was a speed burner when younger, continuously recruited for management and scratch driver most of my driving career(that was back in the days when that was actually possible) and am still considered a "go to guy" by everyone in the center management team up to and including the division manager. My current crew is a good bunch that I respect. The fact is I have never seen you post anything but "lollypop land" (as trick puts it) responses to any and all subjects regarding UPS, ever. That isn't a bad thing from a manager, just doing your job, albeit it stretches credibility beyond the breaking point when you take it as far as you do. There is a difference between a positive upbeat employee, a kiss butt and a psychopath wacko. Positive upbeat employees and even a kiss butt will occasionally have [I]some[/I] issues where they do not agree with UPS policy or actions. Only the psychopath would always see every single subject regarding UPS in one light. I have never considered the possibility that you were a psychopath. You didn't actually say whether you are management did you, errr are you saying you are not [I]in[/I] or trying very hard to [I]get[/I] into management? If not then I apologize profusely for any unintended or implied insult you might have considered this to be towards you (I slowly back away with my hands raised placatingly) [/QUOTE]
