Some people know exactly how to work the system so they work just enough to keep all benefits, and then continue on with their plan. My thoughts and prayers go to the truly injured because there are serious injuries and these people deserve a chance to recover without the worry of surviving. But seems we all know of a few that continue on the shirttails of UPS and us. The ones that ruin the chances for other people to get full-time employment because UPS has to save their route and there position on the full time roster. Nothing like getting locked out of a vacation week because someone who knows they will be off anyway takes a week, and management has to honor the fact that they may be there.......but it is known they wont be. Any person who is legitimately off worries that they may not be able to do the work again, until progression is made in your injury and you recover, it is always scary coming back after an injury, but the great mechanics of our bodies, usually recover. Back injuries, I learned a long time ago, remain serious, and anything can set them off. I also learned not to condemn an injured for being off when you dont know their problems, BUT, it seems after a certain amount of time UPS usually buys them out, with a gracious settlement. True injuries. the rest are just playing the game, yet they get all the benefits and more. Twice the pay on holidays, and vacations. time with family and friends, time to go on vacations, that they never could have before and the money coming in bi weekly to fund it. Any man or woman playing this game should be gracious enough to bow out and just admit they cant handle it instead of living their life in this way, it can really hurt moral as UPS cant hire full time employees because if they come back, then people would be laid off because of it. so that is one reason from time to time we are overloaded, while these fakers are at home enjoying all life has to offer(without the effort).
