I'm more stress free than I've ever been. I still have sympathy for boys in brown though.

I watched a manager fall to pieces in really short time span.
Very well liked as a Pkg driver. Had different sup positions and then landed as a manager of a center.
One day as I come in to get my keys, I see him vigorously washing his hands. The office had its own bathroom and he would leave the door open as he scrubbed away! It was becoming so frequent it was obvious and caught my attention. I go to the locker room to suit up this day and in he walks 2 minutes later and starts scrubbing his hands vigorously again?? W T friend I think this dude is losing it BIG TIME!
So I walk back to the office as I was paged to call my sup. I walk into the office and WOW! 3 sups cowering as this chump is sliding things off their desks and screaming at them and then he storms out. I immediately tell all three, one of you needs to speak up, this guys is friend - ing NUTS! They can hardly speak and they are shaking and scrambling to pick stuff up before he came back. All of them basically said I'm not doing anything!!! Next thing I see is a supervisor high tailing it out of the building looking scared to death who wasn't in the office??? I turn to walk out and here comes the managers wife and she is on fire??? She finally storms off.
I'm thinking "WOW" what a way to start your day!
Turns out wifey poo found out he was cheating so she cheated on him with the running out of the building supervisor. HOLD On it gets worse! Yes the manager never made it back to work ever again! I meant worse for him. He finally gave himself up a day and half later to the police. Turns out he was molesting a minor and was doing some bad things to her. He got 27 years NO parole if he pleaded guilty which was better than the life sentence he would have got!

That’s a wild story but I have you beat. Had a full timer probably 3 or 4 years ago who was fired for walking on a belt. The guy had some serious roid rage and would try to sleep with any female that was in the building so I think upper management just used the belt walking thing to finally get rid of him.
Fast forward to present day, I see home boy’s face on the local news. Wanted for murder. Apparently he did some contract work for an older lady who lived by herself. Story goes she got mad at him for some shoddy work he did and either confronted him about it or refused to pay him. He lost his temper and strangled or bludgeoned her to death (still an open case) and he went missing. They found him a few weeks later trying to cash some forged checks in her name. Her body was found in a nearby dump.

Part on order, ok to drive
Had a FT automotive sup get caught masturbating in the managers office. locked himself in the another room afterwards and i assume after he was finished was met by LP and the manager and was walked out.
Had a mechanic fired for stealing cell phones and giving them to his daughter to sell at college.
had another mechanic fired for stealing vt365 injectors from the parts drawer one day AFTER being told by another mechanic that the company is aware someone is stealing sets of injectors and installed a camera aimed at the drawer they are kept in.
had a manager fired for falsifying mileage and saying he was at a building he was not at that day.

we had a manager that wasnt fired but died of a heart attack at age 50. everyone knew it was WORK related. he was one of those good hearted guys that higher ups at UPS hates their managers to be.
Big turnout at his funeral. I felt so bad cause I was hard on him also. he left a wife and a couple teen age boys.

I've heard of management members (part-time supervisors, two of them) getting fired for walking on moving belts, but can an hourly really get fired for it and have it stick (I mean for a first-time offense, not a constant habit of walking on moving belts)?

It used to be a cardinal sin when I started. They didn’t play. Buddy of mine, an LVD pickoff, was caught by a higher up walking on the belt and the guy wanted him fired. My buddy’s full timer made it look good while the guy was around, going through all the motions making it look like he was going to walk him out. As soon as the guy left, it was dropped. I’ve only actually seen supervisors get walked out for it; 1 FT and 1 PT.

In my day and area it was called "Rolling". Not a lot but a few used COD monies to buy lunch, gamble and pay debts till they got that weeks paycheck.
Company told everyone in the "PCM DONT DO THIS"! I heard about rolling thru the grapevine but was not there long enough as of yet to know who was doing it. Once they fired the driver they caught, the word spread like wikd fire about who wasn't gonna do that any more tho!
For you youngin's. This era was mid 1970's
Many COD's were cash only, no checks accepted. So what drivers did is pull the tag off the box get the monies like its a normal delivery. Then save that tag and sheet it (put on your paper, daily record, non button, no screen, Clipboard) 1 or 2 days later. Friday over the weekend I heard was the most common and sheet it Monday. Most big companies back then trusted we delivered everything we sheeted and wouldn't even count the pkgs.
So how did they catch the driver that day? It was the next day. The pkg was for a big wig in the company and not a pkg being put thru the system to be stocked. Employee's couldn't find the pkg, saw it was paid for by cash by the accountant, called the company, driver admitted took the cash and didn't sheet it but planned to sheet it today. It wasn't a big sum of money he said "I just didn't have money for lunch" FIRED!!!
