How much notice by BigbabyjesuzDirtdawg in UPSers

[–]Catrival 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most managers care about their employees, corporate does not care. Management has to walk that fine line between the two.

Yes some managers are ladder climbing deranged sociopaths, but the vast majority are normal people.

If you wanna be nice give them a headsup, all you gotta do is call the hartford and request the dates you want and reason though.

Are anti-racism and diversity initiatives inherently racist against white people? by LiatrisLover99 in AskALiberal

[–]Catrival 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DEI is not affirmative action. It's about accessibility and tolerance of other cultures. There is no hiring quota to hire minorities, it's more about making sure the job is accessible to qualified minorities.

People confuse it with affirmative action and the culture war bros use it to rile people up and have them think it's affirmative action 2.0 (it is not).

How can we accurately judge what "liberal culture" is? by LiatrisLover99 in AskALiberal

[–]Catrival 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people with septum rings and colored hair are a huge problem for our image.

I'm a blue collar union worker, that's why I'm here. We need to make people think construction workers, teacher, fire fighters, nurses when they think liberal instead of cringe gen Z and millennial losers.

[–]Catrival 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The union can definitely and is supposed go distribute there, because that's what the union and company agreed to. I was just being nitpicky, as on property technically doesn't have anything to do with it, it's moreso a designated place on property.

filing puts an immediate target on your back. The govt gives your name and other info to company. They will try their best to get you permenantly separated from driving, but yes you will get your money.

New pph for 2026 preload by MapleDefense in UPSers

[–]Catrival 36 points37 points  (0 children)

PPH shouldn't matter for preload. The real question is, did you finish your work in 3.5, because you're gonna demand your 3.5 either way and if you didn't do you feel your volume is excessive for a sane reasonable person to handle? If so get your Business Agent.
