Get your ice before you clock in

[Covemastah]

You are supposed to report to work with enough time to gather everything that you will need for the day before the PCM, which would include call tags, supplies, DIAD and, yes, ice.

No no no no and no

 

[Coldworld]

While it certainly could be the latter it is more likely the former, especially if the bagged ice tends to disappear just before the weekend.

Might want to look at mgt for that stunt. When we were given turkeys back in the day knew a few mgt who “accidentally” took out more than one turkey for themselves…fact

Today’s PCM….your new cool solution mentor

The default pay code is now 05? When did they start doing this?

They tried it about a month ago everyone noticed it couldn’t even change in the board. I made a few phone calls went to the division manager’s office and magically change back a week later

Thieves all over the company. Managers who have a budget for pizza/food for the troups spend it on private lunches for management. Sups telling new guys they have to gather supplies, study DOKs, sort off the clock. Time cards altered. Guys taking bags of coffee, garbage bags home etc. The worst offenders that I have seen are in management.

You couldn't override it in the board? Actually, the only time that it would hurt you is if you punched out under 8 as you would lose the guarantee.

Correct we have a few burners Also a bonus center

The 05 code default setting has been going on for a year. It is dishonesty by management.
Yes, it only matters when someone punches under 8... OR...If you are on bonus.

If it happens where you are don't be satisfied with them just changing it back. Demand the back pay for all drivers. Dishonest management should be held accountable.

Amen brother I did just that and made them change it back

For yourself or for all affected drivers?

Everyone! why just me? I’m the Steward that’s not how I roll I don’t take care of me only

How much of that ice was taken home and used for other purposes?

Theft of company supplies is an entirely different matter.

 

[Integrity]

This is the excuse used by our center manager for not keeping the ice box full of bagged ice. “Too much is being stolen!” Or… maybe this is Texas in the summer, and the two ice machines can’t keep up with the demand…

I cannot support this type of “blame the worker” attitude to justify UPS management incompetence.

This is theft plain and simple.

 

[Integrity]

Picnic coolers fit comfortably in the trunk of most cars. Take 2-3 bags in the morning and another 2-3 bags after punching out and you are all set for the weekend.

This is theft.

Set for the weekend with stolen ice.

It’s definitely the latter.

Really doesn’t happen. Let’s see my 100k plus A year job with benefits retirement and vacation.

For some five dollar bags of ice?

 

[Integrity]

I steal ice, electricity AND time. Beeches.

Why?

 

[I have been lurking]

Why?

Because you have to have a severe level of autism to yell at people charging their phone/earbuds and taking home a tumbler of ice water
