How many call-ins till its an issue?

One of the biggest butt kissing drivers we had owned two car washes on the side. He was late for work almost every morning because he would stop at his car washes and get them ready for the day. He always said he had a deal with management that his start time was "when he got there". It was like that for years and as far as I know its still that way. He also has a son and a nephew who ended up drivers. We always figured he had some other relative who was high up on the totem pole in corporate.

Showing up a few minutes late is one thing. Most Centers start after 9 and if a guy shows up at 10 how the hell does he get his air off? (Not that time commits matter anymore).

I was going to say -- you still honor commit times anymore? From what I read on here it doesn't seen to be a high priority goal.

What are commit times? Is that something you old timers had back when Ups actually cared about service?

There was a time it was a big deal

I'm glad I don't work in ya'lls hubs, we have a driver who was late almost an hour everyday for almost a year. Got so bad they eventually had to get on him. Guess what the guy is the best driver in the building, definitely the most honest and most likable as well.

I'm up to my 5th or 6th call in. No worries. Of course that's in 28 years.

I hope you didn't hurt a shoulder, patting yourself on the back.

Just keep doing it till they give you a "Verbal warning" in the office with a steward present. If they do it any other way file harassment grievances.

It's up to them to enforce their rules, I think the management handbook says 4 or 5 in 9 months. Depends on your management team.
