While he's apparently a genuine line guy, he reminds me of Skyhigh, who had anti-Tony Robbins-like seminars on the other groups for months. Thing is, personalities like this will likely sink into a similar funk no matter where he goes, so I pity whoever is saddled with him next.
Perhaps somebody should dissect this type and integrate it into the screening process. He wasted a spot that somebody else could have taken.
Good riddance.
While I may not agree with his point of view on this job, UPSMISTAKE is correct on several fronts. Yes, UPS is chipping away at our contract and yes, this has not turned out to be the job they promised during the interview process and basic indoc. I for one wish him well in his job search. If and when he does leave UPS, I hope he tells them exactly why this job isn't what they promised. Will they care? Maybe not but hopefully someone will take notice. While the economy has shredded many jobs in this industry, our benevolent employer has contributed to the disruption of careers as well.
