[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 948100, member: 9789"] Reading your post, about the line of "I have no one directly reporting to me...." brought back memories. I posted a page about "My UPS Life" on my website (Rick's World - Sedona - My UPS Life), but I recall a line that a manager who managed our most infamous center in the southern half of our region (Hemet Center) later renamed a couple of times because the name carried a stigma with it. The managers and supervisors came to work every day to a huge battle. No Teamster employee would even acknowledge the presence of a management person without first being on the clock. I personally witnessed this. Three managers I worked with became Labor Managers because they were forced to became "experts" with the contract. Most managers did not last long in the center. Some even asked for a demotion to get out of there. Anyway....when I worked in the district office, one of these Labor Managers office was next to mine. Every morning he would peek his head into my office and ask me if any of my pencils called in sick today! It was a reminder of how lucky we were not to have direct reports and that nobody could impact our job by calling in sick!! Oh! BTW, the infamous Hemet Center became one of the best centers in the district when the right manager was put in charge. He treated people like people should be treated and the drivers responded.
