[QUOTE="BoogaBooga, post: 125605, member: 4600"] I have no idea if what is being asked of me to do is good in the long term survival of UPS. I am working harder, longer, and safer, but assumptions have been made by management that have been detrimental to my physical and mental health, and difficult to my family and social life. Constructive dissatisfaction in the workplace is a miserable way of treating people, although management must be doing some things right since they have been around for 99 years. But when a divsion manager says to your driver group that we were poor performers at peak season, even though we worked 12 hours a day, could not deliver all of the packages because IE shortstaffed us, and had 1 day off for Christmas-it left me with a bleak outlook on the future. And so far this year I wish I could say conditions have improved, but attitudes have worsened. Quiet UPSers will not eat at safety cookouts, give to the United Way, or even refuse to go to the Circle of Honor dinners. Something is wrong and it is not just the frontline supervisors or managers to blame. I pray that the Corporate Managers have a reason and strategy to the sacrifices being dictated to its employees.
