[QUOTE="brownboxman, post: 535602, member: 11958"] One thing I know about folks that work at UPS, is they are all very different. And it's no different on this subject. I personally respect all you who want the OT, and think if you want it, fine. No problemo. But if after 20+ years I choose to avoid it and want to complete my life outside of UPS, why should I be forced into it. That certainly doesnt make me ungrateful for the job I have. As for it being a smart business move to push everyone to it, it is obvious from the different replies form accross the country that that staff is not totally sure it is right either. I believe the costs associated with OT may not be as evident short term as it is long term. Injuries, apathy, loss of good hourly and center team management due to early retirement. Where will this company be in 2-5 years when everyone is burned out and the economy has returned to strong, and the labor market is tight again? Who will they find that fits the mold they are creating now? All companies experience business cycles, and the ones that make the claims that revenues are down, yes they are but dont tell me profits are totally gone. If they are then why still pay dividends? Volume will go up again, when?, dont know. In the mean time don't make me the scapegoat for the economic downturn. [/QUOTE]
