[QUOTE="Cole, post: 211203, member: 9507"] Every driver/ person that meets with the public please be careful in the way you conduct yourself with the public/customers. Use extreme caution in the way you talk to the opposite sex, as anyone can misconstrue your words, and you could find yourself with a sexual harrassment charge! Do not assume you know people well enough to make even slight leud comments, as even a witness can call in a complaint as we're dealing with for one of our guys. It's based on the individuals perception as to how our words are taken so please be careful, because as UPS people we are walking dollar $bills$ to the general public and in a sue me climate out there caution is always advisable. When one of us is accused the company has no choice but to take action, and even though it's not listed as a Cardinal Infraction, they will pull you off the road, as it's a huge liability. Then as in this case if you go to try and apologize it can make it worse as they can throw in the fear factor. Please don't put you and your family in a scenerio that could put your job on the line, because it's really tough to defend it. We've got to try and smooth the waters for a case here, but it's not looking good! The only point we may have is a manager that has been charged with it twice, and still is working, but was demoted to on car sup. Caution is the word folks! [/QUOTE]
