[QUOTE="Big Package, post: 3317642, member: 67494"] JFC. :blushing: Sorry to hear about a fallen sister. I hope people in your center are OK, and ugh, her family and friends. Hopefully she can now rest in peace. :angel: We had one guy here who told me that when he started years ago, management was so brutal to him and nobody did a thing. He had planned of hanging himself on one of the slides with "not even good enough for packages" taped to his chest. He had even bought the wax in case instinctual reaction kicked in and ruined his plans. What helped him? A coworker saw him teary-eyed and asked if he was OK and offered a free support group. [I]Always help your neighbor[/I] ... means many things. Stuff like this is why I think these people need to shut their cock holsters more often; or have some basic human :censored:ing decency. I think the company needs to aggressively handle bad management and bullies in a better way (heck in any way). There's no reason teamsters should be driven to suicide or suicidal ideations. If any of you are suffering bullying or harassment and you're spinning your wheels with the union and mgmt, you can say :censored:it, and contact OSHA directly.
