[QUOTE="soberups, post: 496361, member: 14668"] Steve, You are at a pivotal point in your career. At UPS you are only as good as your previous days production, and the moment that you are no longer able to make your immediate superior look good on paper you become a liability rather than an asset and you [U]will[/U] be treated accordingly. For you, that moment has now arrived. You work for management who are scared for their own jobs. They shoot their own wounded and eat their own young. You arent making your boss look good on paper, which means he isnt making [U]his[/U] boss look good on paper. You used to be mister productive, mister safety committee, mister pro-company. That has all changed, so you had better get ready for the pain. I have seen this kind of thing happen before and there are a few things you need to remember; Never back down. Never show fear. If they turn on the heat, you need to turn it up even hotter. Never forget that, in the end, you can always make them more miserable then they can make you. Force them to accept the reality that you will not be intimidated, you will not be a victim, and that the "path of least resistance" will be for them to seek an easier target. Put your shop steward and union BA's phone# on your speed dial. You are going to be getting to know them pretty well. [/QUOTE]
