% of drivers that are fired

[Commercial Inside Release]

You are NOBODY, until you get fired!!

We had a pkg delivery driver fired for this sort of thing on area. I don't know the exact details whether it was on the clock or not. He never came back....about a 5 year guy.

Which begs the question.....if you punch out(off the clock...) while doing such....can they really fire you? Say, you go home for lunch and do the wife.....eating lunch with her is ok...eating her isn't? Serious question.....So, is a customer off the clock(not in the vehicle) ok?

Example: stopping at a delivery stop(resi)(hell even a customers office), punching out, going inside and coming out 1 hour later.....serious question.Is there a difference in a gravel pit or home? Car?

We will never know because he never fought it. The word around the building was he could have got his job back if he wanted it.

Hit and runobviously. Never seen one. Takes a special kind of stupid to hit someone and drive away in a UPS truck while making $100k a year.

I "saw" it happen years ago.

Stealing iPads. State Auditor's son!

I mean no accounting for “stupid”. We had a rookie who had made book.. shortly thereafter was going to have a late NDA letter and didn’t want get in trouble so he threw it in a dumpster and reported it as “not found”.

Someone saw him throw it in and retrieved it and called ups. Of course telematics put the driver there at time of eyewitness account.

Yeah, he didn’t come back.

Another for sleeping in feeder truck and staying on clock.
Stealing, a cardinal sin.

If this were true feeders wouldn’t have any drivers
You better go ask @frankie about this one

Was the female driver good looking at least? Could she work a pole ?

First hand witness...

 

[UnionStrong]

At least once!

Fired was a term we used for someone who was basically suspended. You had to really break a cardinal rule to truly get fired. I knew guys that had been ‘fired’ multiple times.

Oh yea, Frankie beats it with a mallet

Did he become a supervisor???

 

[Wally]

Just curious if anyone has a decent guess at what percentage of drivers are fired at least once throughout their career? Including times when you get your job back.

8.345%.

Tier 3 Hit and run does the trick

Not a tier 3 but I know a guy that did a hit and run and was caught on camera looking at the damage. He got his job back.

 

[G.V. Rush]

I wish I’d get fired. Wouldn’t even fight it. Collect unemployment and move on. Two middle fingers in the air.

A lot depends on whether you work for hard ass managers or not. So far I’ve never been fired in my 21 years with the company, but I’ve known a few people who have been fired a few times and in the really rare instances those who have been fired and it stuck. I’ve known employees who allowed addictions to end their employment, been charged with serious felonies, and of course the famous “stealing time” charge that was so ridiculous the union couldn’t save them. In the end if you just show up to work and put in some decent effort getting fired is highly unlikely IMHO. Of course any pending vaccine mandate could change my outlook…
