[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 725086, member: 13254"] You are correct Steve, most of the problems I had with management were not uncommon and were usually settled fairly easily. The OP (if as honest in his report as I think he is) has clearly became a target for his center manager because of all the time he was off work. Concerning that, my question for the center manager would be. "how much trouble was it for your team to replace this driver during his absence?". If they had to struggle to cover his area day in and day out, then yea it's a problem. However if they had plenty of swing drivers to cover his area, not such a problem, but more of an opportunity to get rid of a long time driver. I think we all know what reasons the company might use to target a veteran driver for termination. Is SOI's story totally true? Hell if I know, no one else here knows either. Is SOI's story slanted to make him look as innocent as possible? Of course it is, anyone else's would be too. I witnessed a targeted driver that the company wanted gone so badly that any manager that fired him and it didn't stick was transferred out within weeks of him getting his job back. There were two CMs brought in expressly to get this guy FIRED FOR GOOD. So, yea I know full well that some management will in fact target certain drivers. The guy I am talking about was at one time a great driver that the company loved to keep loading stops on because. " He'll do em and not bitch" ( heard it said by managers and PT sups more than once". At a point the driver broke and stopped being the shinny spot in the center manager's eye and became an "example" of what happens to drivers that don't buckle down. It took them five years, five CMs (two in a six moth span) to get this guy terminated for good. During part of this time I was a non-union clerk in the office and heard things not intended for union ears, plus I was pretty close friends with a couple of the PT sups as well as a couple of OCSs , a center manager and a division Manager. I saw a part of UPS that was NOT pretty. BTW, they finally got him, after about 7 years of trying. LOL< I also knew a driver that was written up for over 100 ( yes, hundred) violations of safe driving on ONE safety ride. Tell me there was no target on her back. I truly think the OP needs to learn which battles to fight and which ones are better left to let ride. [/QUOTE]
