[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 766468, member: 4653"] Dragon, I'm with you. I try to do things right 100% of the time because we have nothing else. There are no rewards or bonuses for doing a great job like other proffesions. All we have is out packages and package cars. I almost make a game out of it to get entertained and focused because it gets boring, so I see how long I can go without breaking any method rules. Although its just packages, I take pride in the job and doing it the right way. The only people I've seen fired permantly was for theft, with everyone else getting their jobs back for every violation under the sun. A few years back we had a driver bring his truck back at 11 AM and leave it outside the center manager's office and walked out. He eventually got his job back but it was a long process that had him sweating bullets. He had to go in front of the panel and they were harsh (as they should be) with him. I've actually had commercial customers offer me a beer. When i declined they said its just a beer and 'Greg' used to have one with us. As good as the cold beer looked on this particular 95 degree day I had to refuse and explain that I don't want it to even look like I was drinking a beer. And, I certainly don't want anyone telling another driver or sup. "Its only a beer and Browniehound used to have one with us". Yes its a harmless beer but its against the UPS policy and my job and life is not worth a few sips of a cold bud. You have to bet you're axx I had one as soon as I got home that night! [/QUOTE]
