Ever since this came about, I've been on a "DGAF" mindset. I have been with this company for 13 years and to have these "new-booty" sups having less than a year making the same amount as me makes me sick to my stomach. On top of that my fellow sups that have been there for just about as long as me all got the $1,000 on top of their raise when I did not. I got the short end of the stick because I was $1.00 off from the required $0.75 range to get the $1,000.
Mind you, I was the one always going above and beyond in order to be the best. It's pretty sad that instead of someone pulling me aside and asking whats going on; since I had gone from being one of the best sups to looking like that hourly worker that acts like he got dragged out of bed and forced to work.
It's definitely demoralizing to continue to work for a company that treats their veteran sups like how they treat me. That is not the only reason that made me like this but it was the straw that broke the camels back. Time and time again, they blow smoke up my you know what with false promises and bend me over time and time again.
Not saying it was right, but I can only imagine those workers that went postal did what did felt these same feelings of betrayal and disgust. I would never. I repeat, NEVER do what they did or condone their behavior but just stating how easy it is for someone be put in that situation to rationalize doing what they do.
Not to sound cocky but my whole career at UPS, I was the best at everything I did. You could ask anyone that knew me. Now, I'm a pretty crappy employee. I mean, they dont deserve my complete effort. I give them what they feel I'm worth, which is the equivalent of a "new-booty" sup that doesn't know jack. My answer to everything is "I don't know." Sorry for the long reply but I just felt like getting that off my chest.
