Don't worry, I'll never post again!!!!!
Just wanted to make sure it was out there what my husband is going through. Do I think he would ever hurt anyone else? Absolutely not!!!!!! But I am afraid that he May have heart attack or stroke when he gets so upset. Every time we get him calmed down UPS does something to upset him again.
My prayers go out to the people affected by yesterday's tragedy. I can definitely see how UPS can push someone to their breaking point.

Unfortunately I don't think it is cheaper. Not when you factor in the costs of running more trucks.

I highly doubt the overtime story was the whole story...It looks like the news is reporting that was the breaking point for this guy though... but we all know better

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Someone that would kill someone because they had to work late has some serious mental issues. Diagnosed or not who knows.On Facebook, I was told he was at the PCM, killed 2 management people and the guy he took work off of last night.
Not everybody that kills people "have a history of mental illness". He snapped and purposefully took it out on the ones thathim off.
Prayers to everyone involved in that building.
And I wouldn't say he snapped. Snapped is a heat of the moment deal. Catch the wife cheating kill her and the guy. This guy thought about this all night. Planned it out then went through with it.

I read that he was estranged from his wife and living with his children. Single parenthood and OT might have pushed him over the edge - especially if there are worries about custody issues and time in the evening with children.
If he felt like he might lose his children because of his job he might have felt like he was going to lose his life anyway.

As a retired package driver I am dismayed by the crap talk about some sort of justification
for this POS coward. He shot drivers not management. I have worked this building and 2 other in local 278. I have in the past turned in a preloader for theft. Saw him putting pkg's into his car. Did not hesitate and told people I was the one who turned him in. Take some accountability for your actions. If you see or hear something say something. This coward was a crap driver who was filing 9.5 because he was 1.5-2 hrs over. That = crap driver. No allowance is that off. A real production nightmare who needed help, couldn't handle bulk, late air, etc. A shop stewards nightmare. Don't mention his name as he does not deserve any recognition. Please remember ALL our fellow brothers and sisters in our thoughts and prayers.

I stopped reading here. You should have stayed on to go into management with that mentality.

In my opinion the lawyers and insurance companies have messed up how corporations run and treat their employees. Going public didn't help either.

There is never an excuse to kill because of stress.

Word association with "assault rifles" to further anti gun agendas. I prefer the term "defense pistol".

Ah another wimp driver who believes hard work and the fact that it's not 8-5 job!! You must be a dream to drive next to. Need a lot of help? I bet you do. Hate that $30+hour job. Go find a non union job rookie and when you have 27+ as a package driver and a clean 6135(someone else can clue you in on that) then we could have a conversation. However I doubt you will make it as any one from the 80's can tell you; 'you will never make retirement'
