What Would You Do?

[LilPackage]

I'll try to make this short and leave the fluff out.

Last night a driver found some money on the floor in the hub.

Another employee claimed the money was his right after the driver picked up the money.

Driver asked him how much money he dropped... Driver claimed the employee gave the wrong amount.

Driver refused to give the guy the money.

Guy who claims he dropped the money alerts security who then alerts management.

Management comes out and tells the driver if they check the cameras and it is in fact the other guys money that the driver will lose his job.

The amount of money wasn't much considering the possibility of termination.

Would you return the money even though you didn't believe it belonged to the guy claiming he dropped it or wait a day to see if you've been fired?

It was on the ground, in no-ones possession. I am personally unaware of any policy or procedure when it comes to finding money. With that being said, termination probably wouldn't stick.

 

[Tom MacDonald]

Not sure what will come of this but personally if you gave me the wrong number it's mine

 

[upschuck]

Would've walked right by it.

Never take anything in building that isn't yours.

 

[UPS Preloader]

Termination would never stick. Tell them if they can show you who dropped it, you’ll gladly give it to that person.

It doesn't matter who the money belonged to. He took something that did not belong to him and should be terminated.

What if it fell out of package ?
Always turn stuff you find in the building into management.

walked over a cc 500 times until I found it was a gas card. No way will I touch anything with value or bring anything valuable into this hole.

"I do not recall seeing that on the floor"

My thought's are, if you carry anything out of the building you didn't carry in or belongs to you is theft, would it stick? Not likely, but do I want to be out testing the procedure? Nope.

I pick up pennies in parking lots

Those were worth a lot when you were a young man!

I consider it exercise---that and lifting 12 oz. cans

Turn into management let them deal with it

How about the people that find a package sitting on someones front porch? Or the hallway of an apartment building? If it is not your's, don't take it. Called stealing.

 

[ManInBrown]

Never pick up anything. There’s a 20 dollar bill sitting in my truck for the last 3 months in the diad holder. It’s not mine. It’s still sitting there. Another driver who covered my route probably dropped it or left it there. It’ll still be sitting there a year from now.

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

Ignore it

 

[oldngray]

@rod likes to drive around parking lots.

This is the right answer.

The amount of money found is irrelevant.

 

[sailfish]

At UPS, I would have walked right over it.
