    And to a lot of people in these comments, keep in mind, while it's easy to just give us all flak and see UPS as a faceless corporate entity, most of us are just regular people doing our jobs as best we can, day in and day out. We're no more infallible than you are.

Human beings need jobs in order to live in an economy, the alternative would be to own your own small farm and grow food for yourself. The way I see it, the more money a company makes the more workers they can hire and the more money they can pay their employees. Not everyone can be a CEO, it unfortunately doesn't work like that.

    @PositivelyBored they tried to get me on that few years ago. my shop steward did the right thing told the supervisor it was human error not failure to follow directions. Supervisor dropped it didnt write me up. They want you to think they can discipline you for missorts but they cant.
