What will get you fired at UPS?

[MECH-lift]

Not all dishonest acts results in termination

yeah just ask our supervisors they lie all the time!

 

[eats packages]

Dishonestly is kryptonite for hourlies.
harassment is kryptonite for supervisors.
Otherwise you get a free vacation week and nothing else happens...

 

[IESucks]

For the last 3 years of driving and 3 years of part time I have been told multiple times I will be fired. I have only been fired once, for a “cardinal sin” and got my job back within 30 days.

I’m wondering what will get you the walk of shame for good at this company and what are just bull threats?

Stealing

 

[Vasily]

Sexual harassment will get you fired.

 

[scratch]

Stealing, fighting, lying about what you did, not reporting accidents, bringing handguns through the guard shack, sexual harassment, and very severe accidents.

 

[Maplewood]

Our you can almost always get your job back. we have a couple guys with 20+ accidents. You never get your job back if you don't report it, no matter how minor.

Not true. I live to tell.

What’d you hit?

 

[Dr.Brownz]

It could I suppose. I always see at least one person return to work. It’s usually part timers who fight.

If it's self defense you will come back. Had it happen a few times years ago here

Opening a package, taking a dump in it and taping it back up is always frowned upon too.

These days, DNA testing means you can't get away with that!
But back in the good old days ...

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Using COD money to pay gambling debts and "borrowing" a pickup customers' peel off 1Z label to return a package are both frowned upon.

 

[Two Tokes]

What were you originally fired for? Whenever I say I need help or a pickup covered my sup says “if I have to send help it’s not gonna be good for you or your job” I think he likes me

Did you run out of beer last night or pass out first

 

[Drink Craft Beer]

Ive seen someone get canned for good coming to work stoned...a driver...never got his job back and the union always reminds us that they cannot protect us from excessive call-ins

So my list is the big 5, in order of severity

1. Theft (Time, Property)
2. Drugs/Alcohol
3. Dishonesty (Accidents, Recording, Time)
4. AWOL
5. Excessive Accidents/Collisions

6. Making violent threats against/towards employees in the hub ..... "I'll just come in tomorrow and shoot up the place" regardless if you're joking around.
