A pkg was misdelivered on a route in our office. They thought it was me but turns out it was another RCA. When they thought it was me and we could not find the package I was told I would be held financially responsible for the package. I do not remember being told that in training. Is it true and if so, do you know where I can see it in writing/training manuals?

I suspect the supervisor knows the policy (mostest do), yet is playing "stump the chump" headgames for power projection and self-amusement (many do).
If it happens again, cut it off fast. "So if I can't find the parcel, do I just give you cash for it or does it come out of my check?"
