[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 398572, member: 12570"] Will Bailey, I was 8 years Air Force prior to UPS. Days off there and here at UPS are like apples and oranges. Staffing was never an issue in the military whereas at UPS, especially in the smaller centers, staffing seems to always be an issue. 2 hour lunches were not unheard of--heck, leaving early on Fridays was also not unheard of. Of course, these perks were after having been in for a few years and having 4 stripes on my arms (I was 6 days shy of putting on the 5th before I got out) and being stationed at an ATC base (pilot training). As far as the different answers given, you should know that there is one National Master Agreement (except for 705/710--another thread) and many regional and local supplements. It is these supplements that dictate how many sick, personal and vacation days and how these are accrued. In my supplement, we get 4 personal, 5 sick and vacation weeks which start at 2 and increase by 1 every 5 years to a maximum of 6. One thing you will find with me is I am a straight shooter. I don't tell people what I think they want to hear. That being said, you sound like a person who has his stuff together and will be an asset to the company in whatever position you are in. You could stand to either lose or greatly reduce the size of that chip on your shoulder. [/QUOTE]
