"That's crazy. It was bound to happen. Time to make changes with safety issues for sure. Surprised it hasn't happened already."
These were mrs. Bojangles words in a text to me today.

I never understood the adversarial relationship either Brn.
It is a two-way street that is egged-on by the Union with the employees stuck in the middle.
I never worked for another Union company but they were not like UPS.
It seems to be a part of the culture.
It use to be like that in the Northeast and Chicago but not as much elsewhere.
There are a few "bubbles of goodness" but one wonders how long before they burst as well.

For the guy to think that this was the solution to his situation is really sad. 3 families have been destroyed here and that sucks. We used to joke around about someone going "postal' at UPS. My answer was always, "It takes a certain type of person to work for UPS, and they don't do that type of thing" I'm sure there is a lot more to this story that will eventually come out.
Not that she didnt believe. maybe she thought I was exaggerating.
Nobody outside of BROWN, Really understands.
let me CC, I'll go through whatever training UPS allows me to do so

Oh Yeah
I told a guy at work right after the fedex guy went ballistic earlier this year or whenever it was, is its going to happen at UPS here before you know it. And im sad to say that my intuition came true today unfortunately.

Only a fool would be surprised.
It happens all around us.

They have no idea G what we deal with on an everyday basis. Were all grownazz men and women. Most of us don't need to be belittled and treated like children. All we want to do is do our jobs and be respected. Is that too much for these
idiots to understand?BAMMThey have no idea G what we deal with on an everyday basis. Were all grownazz men and women. Most of us don't need to be belittled and treated like children. All we want to do is do our jobs and be respected. Is that too much for these

You do realize this has happened many times at UPS before?
It happened in my building over 25 years ago.
Back in the "good old days" when everyone was buddies and we sang Cumbayah each morning.

I started at UPS when I was 20 years old, and I have 29 years in now.
I am also a cancer survivor who held my little girls when they were little and prayed to God that I would live to see them grow up. He gave the chance to see his daughters grow up away.
I'll say it again ... It is just a
ing job

I guess you wont be saying that anymore will you.
Obviously, you were mistaken to begin with as this happens at UPS all too frequently.

We wonder why it happens all the time here. This aint a shot at you Photog, but we work for a bunch of s plain and simple. They don't give a dam about their employees at all. And they wonder why this stuff happens. Time to change the culture at this place. Their making billions of profit on our backs and could be making more if they tighten up the ship instead of doing everything so and .

I just get a bad feeling that the folks at corporate are going find way to blame both hourly and low level management for all the strife that their ridiculous expectations have caused. We are people damn it not some stupid metric. I missed all the news coverage because I was running yet another 10.5 hour day because some Yahoo in Atlanta has decided that us folks at the center level can't dispatch a decent day.
It should not happen anywhere. No ones worth is measured by their job. My bosses can treat me bad all day, all night, every day, all week, all month. My worth is not projected on a report. My worth is in my heart, my family, my life, why isnt everyones, I do not know.We wonder why it happens all the time here. This aint a shot at you Photog, but we work for a bunch of
I do know that this isnt something that can be blamed on circumstances. It has to be blamed on ones own psyche. I know you wouldnt do it, I wouldn t do it, most on here wouldnt do it. Screw UPS, you are talking about the rest of your life............what makes someone do that, he was 45.....................????
