[QUOTE="HBGPreloader, post: 1262626, member: 19782"] When I started at UPS several years ago, I was the "old guy" because I was old enough to be the father to many of these younger coworkers you describe. Now, not so much. From what I observed, the reason for the shift to hire older workers is reliability. We may not be as quick or as physically fit as the millennials. But, we show up on time, work safe and get the job done to the best of our abilities. A perfect example is this cold snap and recent snow storms in the region. Unfortunately, most of these kids called out sick or claimed they were unable to get in due to the weather. However, we old guys and gals, many who travel quite far, made it in early or on time. When it comes to running a business like UPS, the only way the company makes money is when they're moving packages do their final destination. So, when somebody calls out sick, packages are delayed and the company misses out on the opportunity to make money. [/QUOTE]
