[QUOTE="10 point, post: 1330262, member: 52520"] OK. I'll say it. The job I had right before ups hired me paid $9.95/hr and overtime was after 40 hrs. We got a 5¢ raise every year. Insurance was not part of the deal. Looking back at how happy I was to work at ups the first few years reminds me of the huge chasm between many and most jobs still in the blue collar market and full-time wages at ups. The only reason I am able to give up working black Friday is because I make plenty of money prior to working that day. If I was still making $10 to $20 per hr I would jump at making triple ups ft wages on one day. Heck, I pay more in taxes per paycheck now than I made in a week at that old job. Sometimes, I have to readjust my attitude by remembering where I came from and be thankful for a job (that we all break our backs to keep prosperous) like few others in the USA. [/QUOTE]
