[QUOTE="stevetheupsguy, post: 483461, member: 9662"] I was going to be terminated, this morning. I bargained on the phone with my center manager. He relayed stuff to his bosses. Everyone wanted me gone, except for my DM, who likes me for some reason. Always tells me that I remind him of the way he used to be. Faced with a termination and the possibility of being out up to a year, fighting this, I chose the suspension. I've got a family to care for, and this, though not what I really wanted, is the lesser of two evils. That being said, this bargain precludes any further action from my part. No grievance, no back pay and no more posting stuff with UPS equipment or logo's, etc... This doesn't mean I won't post pictures. It just means that the pictures won't include all of that stuff. I therefore have deleted all of the "funny" pictures from my album and my blog. Thanks for all your support. Once again, props to Cheryl for this awesome site. She's really bummed about the situation, so please continue to PM her and let her know how great a site she has. I put my foot in it and I'm a big boy. I'm man enough to face the consequence of my actions, no matter if I agree or disagree with my punishment. I was verbally warned about the monkey head. Was told that I "shouldn't" do stuff like that. I was like, stuff like what? I found no harm in that or any funny pictures. This was the very next step. Whether I agree or disagree, isn't the problem. If you grab me, and twist my arm behind me, leaving me to choose between a 50/50 fight for my job, or a 5 day, I have to choose wisely. My tail is not between my legs and my head is still held high. This will all work out okay, and seems to be already. My 6 year old has a virus, and I would have needed to stay home with her for the next few days, anyways. I prefer the idea of unpaid days, so's I can use my paid days for something more enjoyable. Again, thanks for the love. Steve!!! [/QUOTE]
