[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 2254212, member: 7966"] UPS is a high pressure environment for high achievers. Always has been (at least in the last 50 years) and always will be if UPS stays in business. That is what the Teamsters wanted - High wages and benefits for high output on the job. [COLOR=#b30000]So to your point, UPS was never a great place to work other than pay or benefits for anyone. Even most Upper Management with those real cushy jobs retire the first chance they get. Even use to be that way with the CEO.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff] Oh yeah, the strike really showed UPS didn't it. UPS just screwed over management and put more pressure on them so it flowed down to the drivers.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#b30000] [B]UPS is not for everyone[/B] [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]... it's posted on here several times a day. People gonna bitch and whine but that's the way it was and the way it is and the way it will be. What's to acknowledge ... That UPS is for grownups and you will be pressured to achieve the most you can? ... and that applies to all employees.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
