Nine Lives
As United Parcel Service transitioned to the UPS of today, many felt they had been betrayed.
I propose that hey betrayed themselves by trying to get their purpose in life from their job at UPS.
It's why they call it a job ... we do it for money.
Only a lucky few get to earn money doing things that brings a sense of purpose in their life.
A job is a means to make money, not a way to have meaning or purpose in your life.
The key to getting value out of life is find something you are passionate about and derive a purpose in life from that experience.
It would be interesting to see how others feel about this and if you would identify yourself as
1) Old-timer UPSer - Been with UPS 20 years plus - was sold the old UPS where you worked for life
2) Tweener UPSer - Been with UPS 10 - 20 years - was sold the old UPS but it began to change in your first years of employment
3) New UPSer - less than 10 years with UPS - only knows the new UPS where you are "encouraged" to work at UPS for a few years and then move on
