When have I hidden from anything. I am a Christian who likes to drink watches a little porn and really really dislikes upstatenyupser. I'm also a father and husband who rubs feet makes dinner and sometimes passes out by a fire I've made in the back yard. Some people love me and some people hate me as I love most people but I've hated my share. I'll rip anyone who I think deserves it and bro if you want to rip me go for it. I'm flushing this brown monster in the toilet where I think it belongs. Oh yea you have offended me a little but I'll be over it real quick god bless you man.
That was beautiful, 407. :bigsmile2:

I was thinking of bailing out soon but think I'll stick around around for a little longer to see what may happen. It would be just my luck to retire and have them offer a buyout and miss out on it. Give me 1000$ for each year of service tax free with my pension and I will be gone before the ink dries on the papers I sign.

No, the company has never offered driver buyouts and never will. Its much cheaper to fire them or harass them into quitting.

Wasn't exactly what I was thinking! LOL

My reasoning is that buyouts are based on cost reduction due to overall staff reduction ... UPS paying into the Teamster's pension fund to offset early retirement and then turn around and hire a replacement does not make any sense.

There is higher probability in winning the lottery than hoping for this.

i think that they think they are paying us too much money. We all know their not hurting for money but thats not what their crying all the time like a bunch of little girls. If there's a way to save money or make more money, trust me they are on it.

I dont know any numbers as too what kind of money they would save but to most people you would think that they are getting tired of paying us so much money. Me personally, I try and rock em to sleep every chance i get with the idiot dispatches and them constantly trying to bust out routes and sending everyone out with the make believe numbers. I'm sure they would rather have a younger guy in there making less money and being more productive than an older guy or gal whos just cruising through trying to survive everyday with aches from head to toe everyday.

Oof course the new contract would have to be a two tier pay system. you know theyve got to be thinking that. They make a lot of money but they got a whole boatload going out also. You know UPS tends to do crazy spending on some stuff that sometimes makes no sense at all and sometimes backfires on them, but they like to gamble so maybe they have their numbers together and will gamble on the buyout thing.

All speculation obviously but I'd be willing to bet the farm and i know I'm right, some people are dying to get out of the prison. Shame really that after you've been there for a while all you work for is the cheese and that's all you have to look forward to. Of course there's a bunch of hypnotized robot drivers who may say other wise but really their only lying to themselves.

"COLD TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN". lol.

old brown stone, good for you dude. im happy for you that your going to be rolling out of alcatraz soon. all i got to ask is how the living heck did you make 30 years dude? package car or feeder? feeder i guess i could see that and props to you for making that smart educated decision to go to feeder if thats the scenario. i hope you and your family thouroughly enjoy your retirement. i aint got nothing but mad respect for you for gutting it out that long. i tell people all the time, anybody who is physically strong can do this job but the main thing and the bottom line is, if your not super mentally strong youll never make it. in other words you really have to be a beast and definitely something wrong witcha upstairs in the old noggin to do this job.lol.

You'll be working here a lot more years waiting for a buyout.
