Good Lord, what was a simple question of understanding how this company works, why they do certain things to certain drivers and how it can be handled/stopped has turned into something so off base. Apparently there are some here that have nothing better to do than sit online and read into something more than they need to all day long. I certainly don't have time, I have a job to do as well. I don't think my husband is cheating on me and if UPS is covering his butt and letting him run around on me and paying him for it by paying him overtime, then they are a better company than I thought. I know what time he gets off, I check his checks to be sure his OT wasn't shorted and he does as well. We go over them together, we have since the first time his check was wrong. Its not about me not trusting him. If a woman wants him at 9pm at night as sweaty as he is when I see him, go for it. I have never felt threatened in that area. Apparently the people who are so consumed with warning me about his possible infidelity have either chose losers to spend their life with or have done this themselves to someone they claim to care about. My relationship, fortunately, hasn't gone through that yet and hopefully won't. The only thing my husband ever feels like doing after working 12 hour days is come home, take a shower, eat, kiss the kids since they are already asleep and he never sees them and go to bed. He still finds time for me though. And no, he's not miserable. As a matter of fact, I'm extremely proud of him and his ability to keep his mouth shut working with the junk he works with. The center manager is the biggest jerk I've ever heard of and very CATTY and I would have been in jail by now if I had to take orders from someone that has never driven a UPS truck in their entire life and laughs at you to your face and tells you to go work somewhere else when you do ask questions. He's tried talking to them. THEY DON'T CARE!!!!!! The problem lies in the managment and may go up further but just because a center manager has to take orders from his boss and make the numbers look good, doesn't mean he has to be a total <font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font><font color="ff0000"></font> and he is. Either he was sent to a class for that or it comes naturally. I'd hope it came naturally. Yes, I feel somewhat attacked on this subject and apparently it hit a nerve with many others that have taken the time to attack me and my honest QUESTION. I wasn't asking for advise, thats what I have an attorney for. I simply wanted to understand and hear others insight on this and what they have been through as a UPS employee and/or spouse of a UPS employee. Oh and no, I don't want him laid off. I want him treated fairly and because I have a good relationship with my husband, its only natural for me to come to his defense when he's not being treated fairly. In the case of his center, he's not. He's not the only one though and I know this but he's the one I live with and see every day.
