UPS v. ECB

Its a draw, they're both cheats.

In 25 years of playing cricket I never understood this one.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/27689164

It's cheating. End of.
Why is it not "the done thing"

If a bowler a no-ball there is no warning.
If a bowler over steps by 1/2 inch it's a no-ball.
If a bowler bowls a wide there is no warning.

If a batsman is bowled, he isn't told, next time you're out.

If a batsman is run out by 1/2 inch he is out.
If a batsman grounds his bat short of the crease he is called for a short run. He isn't warned. 

Why when a batsman steals a yard is it ungentlemanly not to run him out?
Buttler was warned twice in the game yesterday, what had he to complain about? He was cheating.

It happened once when I was playing. One of our bowers ran a batsman out for backing up too far. There was hell on from the opposition, why?

The opening to the Brass Verdict (another excellent book) Bosch meets Haller meets McEvoy. Love the way the different series interact with each other.

Everybody lies.Cops lie.Lawyers lie.Witnesses lie.The victims lie.A trial is a contest of lies. And everybody in the courtroom knows this. The judge knows this. Even the jury knows this. They come into the building knowing they will be lied to. They take their seats in the box and agree to be lied to.The trick if you are sitting at the defense table is to be patient. To wait. Not for any lie. But for the one you can grab onto and forge like hot iron into a sharpened blade. You then use that blade to rip the case open and spill its guts out on the floor.That’s my job, to forge the blade. To sharpen it. To use it without mercy or conscience. To be the truth in a place where everybody lies.
I would take issue with the initial 2 words.
In my case, everything is 100% accurate.
In the most part back up by solid evidence.
E-mails from the liars
Documents from the liars
Spreadsheets from the liars
Presentations from the liars

There are words from the liars and hypocrites that contradict the core values of the company. The Policy book is worthless.

United As One 😃 Thanks for making a difference, #ProudUPSers! MT @sengunc: #UPSvolunteers pic.twitter.com/ePBaZqTpq0


United as one.
Be careful what you say.
Be careful who you associate yourselves with.

D. Scott Davis is a hypocrite and liar. Are you united with him?
Cindy Miller is also a hypocrite and a liar. Are you also united with her?

For American examples, I can go on.
Tony Colaizzo, Alan Gershenhorn, Randy Grimes and Christopher Robbins. Are you united with them?

These are only the employees that I have had direct contact with. There will be many more minions backing them up, are you united with their fraud and dishonesty?







Glassdoor - Tyrants, hostility, robots

“Making life work...”

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at UPS
Pros – It is a company that prides itself on being #1. The pay is great and benefits are good.
Cons – They work their employees to death and the hours put in does not match the pay. They don't seem to understand a work-life balance.
Advice to Senior Management – Treat your people more like humans and less like robots.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

“Good benefits, but you'll need them for how little they care if you're starting on the ground.”

Package Handling/International Clerk (Former Employee)
 Columbus, GA

I worked at UPS part-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Free health insurance, M-F schedule, can be a good workout... or dangerous if you're unhealthy
Cons – high pressure/stress environment, lack of regard for the employees on the ground, Center/District management avoids replacing workers who have quit or been terminated in an effort to bolster the "pieces per hour". This last part usually results in those that are doing the labor to spread themselves thin running between anywhere from 2-5 stations in the warehouse to pick up the slack. Generally, middle management does not help in these scenarios because they are not allowed to by contract but if you have a good supervisor he will help because upper management simply will not hire anyone else and he see's the effect it has on the employees remaining - even if it is breaking the rules.
Advice to Senior Management – Never leave your laborer's short-handed, regardless of how small your center is. Those employees care just as much about being overworked at the same pay rate as anyone working in a main hub.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

“Can be better”

Intern (Current Employee)
 Atlanta, GA

I have been working at UPS part-time for more than a year
Pros – Great exposure to technologies and business.
Contribution to the community.
People were nice.
Cons – Poor management - no communication between senior management and the employees.
Career growth opportunity - Low
Pay scale compared to competitive companies - Low
No proper age balance within project team, which eventually reflects upon the energy level.
Doesn't appreciate 'out of box' thinking and not flexible to accept new ideas.
Funds for the projects - Low
Business oriented and not value oriented.
Advice to Senior Management – Acknowledge young leaders and provide opportunities to young blood in upper management.
We know it took years for the current leaders to come to the top management positions, but believe me now a days the kids are smarter than some of the top management folks.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

“What can brown do for me? How about pay me a decent wage for a tough job.”

Driver Helper (Former Employee)
 Tinton Falls, NJ

I worked at UPS full-time for less than a year
Pros – Good workout. Get to work outside. Day goes by quickly.
Cons – Very low pay until you become a full time teamster driver. Unfair treatment of hard working employees by management. An atmosphere that promotes dislike and hostility between management and workers. Talent is not recognized or appreciated by management.
Advice to Senior Management – Pay a decent wage to avoid such high turnover and low morale. Rework the manager/worker paradigm that currently exist to promote better functionality.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

“Great working culture, but slow full time job progression”

Part Time Supervisor (Current Employee)
 Cleveland, OH

I have been working at UPS part-time for more than 8 years
Pros – Benefits, culture, work experience, training, union experience. If you can reach full time, the pay is good. Also, even as a part-time employee, you are granted a certain amount of vacation weeks based on length of employment
Cons – Hours of operation are usually inconvenient, some people in management are more like tyrants rather than managers and the progression to get full time employment is SLOW
Advice to Senior Management – Consider treating employees with respect and dignity and you will in return create a more enjoyable working environment
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

“Terrible”

Part Time Package Handler (Former Employee)
 Columbus, OH

I worked at UPS part-time for less than a year
Pros – None unless you want to stick it out for ten years and become a driver
Cons – Terrible hours, bad supervisors, hard labor, and low pay. They throw you into packing four trucks at once, which is about impossible to get done before you figure out a system.
Advice to Senior Management – Give more training, don't expect people to stay at a bad job for a year
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

“It is high pressure and very hectic”

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at UPS
Pros – Fun co-workers to work with
Cons – Unrealistic working demands, horrible benefits, and not enough compensation for the responsibilities required

UPS steal from their customers, therefore, by association, so do their employees.
I bet everyone who has used a DIAD has delivered a package at the "wrong" time. Whether deliberately or inadvertently.
It is in the way the DIAD is set up.
Come UPSers, try and prove me wrong.
Show me how and where I am wrong, bear in mind I left the Company in December 2011, so nothing post that date. If you don't understand anything use the labels on the right.
While you are there and explain Centreboards to me.
How you can have a "Left-at" on a Centreboard, or a "Not-in" or an "info-notice" failure?
I think there are other examples but you can explain those first.
Let's see you try and defend your paymaster.

When you've done that we can start on something else :-)
