[QUOTE="Island, post: 1300430, member: 42417"] The story I heard from a couple guys is that the manager who is now deceased had intended to take his DM with him. Mesquite is without a doubt one of the worst hub operations on the planet and rather than fix it or prevent any of the problems that corporate had known were going to happen, they're scapegoating people. This guy wouldn't be scapegoated and evidently took advantage of our frankly nonexistent security to accomplish his goal. I'm not going to support the idea of a murder well concealed but I am going to support the fact that UPS's relationship with the authorities is pretty much that of a corpocracy. In my building, one on federal land, I witnessed a guy get walked out by a federal marshal after being caught stealing. The employee had been stealing a tremendous amount of electronics and our toddler-brained whine-and-throw-a-fit fake-all-the-paperwork-because-we-don't-actually-understand-elementary-math management team had only picked up on it after some employees pointed it out during a disagreement over production harassment (the thief hadn't been pulling his weight, spending a lot of time opening boxes rather than moving them). He never went to jail or prison. UPS didn't press charges, just dismissed him and said, we'd rather the public didn't know that you stole all those ipods from walmart, so we're not going to let this become public information or people won't send ipods through UPS anymore. He was seen, oddly enough, working at a walmart a few months later. I'm not saying it's the same thing but if UPS can ship a crocodile through customs without any authorities catching on (that actually happened, along with all the humans we've shipped), a division manager can probably BS the cops into keeping the details of an investigation and the list of suspects from making the news.
