In Reply To: I couldn't believe it when you wrote how everyone should be an alcoholic..I thought it was just here in Lufkin Tx. If you are an alcoholic,manegment loves you! If you don't party and drink, they hate you. I worked as a preloader and am a single mom. I was told at hiring that if i gave them a year, they would transfer me to Wa for college. A year and a half later, they denied my transfer and tried to fire me after I went to Wa to sign up for college and get a new house. The days off were pre approved 3 months in advance. When i was in Wa, my boss said he didn't give me permission and didn't know anything about the time off. Then he said he never intended on transfering me, even though he hired my replacment 3 months prior. He flat out lied, and got away with it because he has been there 20 yrs and the "good old boy" network covered his sorry butt. Now I am out thousands of dollars, can't go to college, lost the job in Wa, and the promotion I was working towards. And all because I am a women. I was told if I would just sleep with the boss, this would all go away.......
Message: It sounds as though you have found all of your reasons to blame UPS but are they really justified? Please, only speak for yourself with your last comment about being a woman. Your comment is weak and makes you out to be the victim that you have made yourself to be. I am a woman in management at UPS and I am treated very well and I certainly did not sleep with anyone to get where I am today. Also, you don't have to party and drink with to have others like you at UPS; that was at your high school.
