Message: <blockquote data-quote="cinamingrl" data-source="post: 78371" data-attributes="member: 407">I'm very sorry this is happening and I do sympathizie.Now that you've mentioned it, I was getting pulled into ridiculous meetings with my manager or supervisor over petty stupid annoyances that would have otherwise been forgotten. And this started before I even found out I was being displaced. So my bitch manager knew way before I did. I can remember actually being browbeaten and admonished for staying late to give out the turkeys to the drivers. My other supervisor showed up late and so I could not leave the long line of drivers without their turkeys for thanksgiving. So the following Friday, my 23 year-old ignorant little supervisor wanted a meeting with me, about that I had no idea. She spent an hour browbeating me over staying late for 30 minutes. You'd think they would have appreciated that, but they didn't, as usual, their backwards thinking prevailed.I called the manager that night and arranged a meeting to put in a complaint about the bitch. But later realized it was all the manager's idea in the first place to document my staying late. Although I have no idea what that would have proved. Later, it got to the point where I was so stressed out that I literally could not even go to work. I called in and said I am not coming into UPS to work any more, unless the bitch manager gets my supervisor under control. I stayed out of work for 3 days, using up my accrued vacation and sick time. Then the manager began calling me at home leaving messages on my recorder "just callin' to see if everything is okay". She only wanted to make sure she got rid of me during the process, without me suing them.After that, it was okay, but I took as many days off as I could until it was time for me to go. The bitch supervisor didn't like it a bit, as she then had to do all of the work, including her own which I had been doing up until then. But that she had no control over, if she had learned to treat me with more respect, I may not have taken off so many days. And I asked to be separated 3 days earlier than they had anticipated I'd leave. I even did my own separation form!IT was horrible, and I even worked in HR.And to add this;....they are watching you because they are scared out of their wits that you will all unionize. When this all first started in my hub, the entire building in Azusa threatened to unionize and the managers ran out there to "handle" it. I remember hearing my supervisors saying "there was an attempt in Azusa". I later found out it was an attempt to strike. So this is why they are monitoring everything you do and your conversations, they are paranoid. Look at it this way....you have the upper hand. Just start using all of your sick days, and call in as much as you can. Let them do all of the work that you have been doing for so long. That they won't like one bit.</blockquote>
