Do you derive a sense of purpose from UPS?

[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1000866, member: 7966"] 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 [/QUOTE]
