I was just wondering since I work at UPS as a package handler and I have this new co-worker who only been working for a month and a half with mediocre performances for not following safety procedures while going fast (which is a near impossible task). UPS has this 3 month probation period they put on new hires before they eventually get Union protection from management. Some of the supervisors and the managers wanted to fire him but couldn't since they're too intimidated by him and fear for their lives that they'll set him off by firing him and he'll snap at them.

This co-worker of mine is a big guy, who stands 6'5 tall and appears to weigh over 250lbs (he's a bit chubby but still very muscular and has the bicep size that's almost bigger than my head) and has a scary reputation of beating the shit out of a group of 3 ex high school football players (who were older) all at once in his high school years. That, plus he once flipped out at the supervisors (screamed at them loud enough for the whole UPS work center to hear) at work for constantly harassing him for not meeting their unrealistic work expectations, then everyone in the center just stopped working and stayed quiet for a couple of minutes.

That's the reason why management at my work is too scared shitless to fire him before he becomes a Union member and protected from management harassment, lol.

Ever had work at a job with a similar situation like this?
