"I've got a couple meetings set up this week that will hopefully allow me to get away from UPS for a while until this paycut and displacement BS blows over"

Nice.

"I am going to take a long term leave if I can get this other job that I interviewed for this week in Indiana."

Great

"You have to be willing to work hard and do manual labor, but I don't mind that one bit. You also have to be willing to work with leach fields and septic tanks, but it's better than UPS at half pay"

Wonderful. It's your call....

"Why do you take it so personal?"

Cause I'm on short term leave to keep you from getting furloughed....

Yeah, I'm not getting paid for a couple of months so the bottom 300 could keep their jobs. Ain't no thing. I'll do it next year, too. But, there is always that 5% who needs to pee in the Cheerios. No problemo. Just be sure to let us know when you leave the property. One less guy contributing to the 5%......
