[QUOTE="pauliep1_98, post: 149308, member: 1439"] I left the house of pain in 1998 after 22 years! The ironic thing is that there are so many great people that I worked with over those years along with some total morons. When I started in the late 70's and thru most of the 80's there was no better place to be a part of. Somehow during the early 90's everything started to unravel and it was like going to the dentist every day! Management and hourly people became 2 hostile camps, the pressure from above was constant, and alot of the old timers (who made UPS what it is) started to get burnt out or just plain left. I remember asking some people how old they were and I was shocked too find out they were 10-15 years younger than they looked! I remember a running joke during the 90's was that the bottom 5% of every educating class was hired by UPS and quickly moved up the management ladder! It is no coincedence that as many of true professionals in management left in the late 90's that the overall atmosphere went down the tubes. The "Big Idea" (remember that) of everyone working together towards a common goal went the way of the 8 track tape. UPS is now a company that makes profits despite of itself because of the talents of dedication of the people who laid the groundwork decades ago! The one thing I can tell you is that when somebody leaves UPS you will get hired by someone else in a heartbeat! Also keep in mind food starts tasting better, stress goes down, and you will sleep better!! [/QUOTE]
