What is the biggest and best lie Management has told you?

[CRASH501]

"holy crap i wouldn't know where to begin"

 

[satellitedriver]

Hired in 1986 and my Center Manager pulled me aside and said I should join the union.
His exact words were;
"You won't survive without their protection"
He was gone two days after.
12 center manager's later, I am still here and I do not pay "protection" money to have a job/career.
A lie only has worth if you chose to believe it.

You will be the first ones on the street and the first one off. Better load than you could put up yourself.

 

[Re-Raise]

Your management team will act on the results of the ERI survey.

you get the pay and benefits that keep you willing to work at UPS because of the union along with your pension. If all were like you, we would have nothing.

Biggest lie UPS cares about you having a family life.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Biggest lie UPS cares about you having a family life.

When I was in the military I was told that if Uncle Sam wanted you to have a family he would have issued you one.

There are many similarities between the military and UPS.

There shouldn't be. Delivering packages to houses and businesses is similar to being employed by the military? Mmmmmkay. Only in your world.

First of all, you are not "employed" by the military. You enlist or are commissioned.

There are many, many similiarities between the military and UPS.

 

[Jones]

The only people at UPS who I've heard compare it to the military are managers who were were never in the military. Aside from the very superficial fact that both have uniforms, they are not the same at all.

Whatever.

Just repeating that over and over doesn't make it any more true. What are all these similarities?

 

[Packmule]

Years ago I had an LP guy trying to railroad me into paying for a so called, misdelivery. When I pointed out that the ID number didn't match the package he was looking for, my center manager admitted to me that he knew the guy was trying to snow me so he could make his numbers.
I've also had 2 center managers put on suspension for sneaking in the building at night, doctoring numbers on the computer to rob people of their overtime.
