By using the info that you provided rebukes the claim that irregardless is not a word at all, it is a word....not a good one, but a word.The "word" irregardless is not a word at all. More like a gutteral expression brought over from peasants from Europe that settled in the NE:
The origin of irregardless is not known for certain, but the speculation among references is that it may be a blend, or portmanteau word, of irrespective and regardless, both of which are commonly accepted standard English words. By blending these words, an illogical word is created. Another possibility is that when people say "irregardless" they are following the pattern of words like "irrelevant", "irrational" and "irregular". "Since the prefix ir- means 'not' (as it does with irrespective), and the suffix -less means 'without,' irregardless is a double negative."[1] According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Irregardless was first acknowledged in 1912 by the Wentworth American Dialect Dictionary as originating from western Indiana. Barely a decade later, the usage dispute over irregardless was such that, in 1923, Literary Digest published an article titled "Is There Such a Word as Irregardless in the English Language

This goes for both you and Socks!
Tony, I understand your point however, I did not feel that I went over the line. After over 25 years of dealing with management and the ways that I saw them treating my union brothers prompted my response. I don't know if you are a teamster but reading Socks posts to me and others are belitteing to current and retired ( like me) drivers who built this company and the growth that followed since I was hired back in 81. It is because of US. Guys like socks take the credit for the success of UPS and gloat when they hand over a charity check in front of the press that has no idea what goes on behind the scenes of Big Brown. If my opinion which I am entitled to is censored then I guess this forum is only going to sugar coat our thoughts. And yes ,I would tell Socks to his face what I think if I was still employed and I have over the years had my words with management and I still made it to the finish line. Socks may be just a clown to stir things up and if that is the case then I will treat his posts as meaningless as I still feel for my current Brothers and Sisters who are on the front lines everyday..Peace!!!!!!!!

you called socks a name.Most folks here agreed,Name calling is kinder~gardeny so we don't allow it.
please feel free to rephrase your thoughts
I don't know about you but when I was younger it was" Sticks and Stones may break my bones but NAMES will never hurt me" Sorry I said such a terrible name to ignite this forum, I will be a good boy from now on...I Promise not to hurt anyone's feelings
In March of 2008 I got a call about noon that my mother was dying 200 miles away. I called the center and asked them if they could help me out; they said come back to the center and they would see what they could do. When I pulled up, my supe came out, and although wasn't real pleased about it, told me "I want you to be there".
To this day, that simple act did the most for my morale and I will never forget what my supe said to me- I will do just about anything for her still.
I made it to my mom's bedside and had my goodbyes- You can't put a price on that in my book.
very true,in the end it is what you make of it.the people that say they hate this job would probably hate any job.if you were an a**hole before you got to ups you are probably still an a**hole,and ups has nothing to do with it.if its so bad here where does the line start to quit,because i dont see one.If it didn't suck we wouldn't get paid to do it. If it was fun we could sell tickets. If it was pleasant we might at least get some volunteers from the old folks home. Every job I ever had sucked. At least this one pays pretty well.
You have a childish posting style... I'm calling BS on BC...
stupidity from management makes me all kinds of money anymore.
Something just doesn't seem right about this.
My new motto is " *** pay me".
I drove for less than a year.... Why is it so mentally challenging.... Follow orders, pretty simple...
