If you folks need turkeys, take a drive around rural Upstate New York and you will see plenty of them. There are some landowners that would be happy if you came and took away some of the Canadian Geese though.
You guys are just mean!
Funny....but mean!!!!

From the promised LAND
cooked 13 butter balls last sunday, just the breasts. were 89 cents a pound. fed 145 and still had left overs.
Im sorry, lemme see, guys makin 30-40 bucks an hour crying cause it cost more to give the turkey to the drivers than what the actual turkey cost.
if you want to really help someone, do it with your own money. regifting, and then bitching when someone does not keep on giving to you......well somehow it seems beneath a ups driver.
but maybe not......

I always gave my turkey , and eventually turkey voucher, to a part-timer in need. I guess one more part-timer goes without this Christmas.

After being on the receiving end of 30 turkey's from UPS, it was never about getting. It was about giving. And UPS was giving. The joy is in giving.
The turkey became a symbol of peak. When hourlies and management put aside petty grienance's for a common cause, and that was to work as a team to provide the best service possible. And we did. We were the best.
When you enter a business dressed in brown, you represent a brand. You best be squared away in uniform with polished shoes and consummate people skills, or the brand suffers.
Merry Christmas to all.

the money is not the point. this company does not want to show appreciation to the very people who built it up anymore.
it's gonna backfire on them bigtime.( in the long run )

Why does a part timer have to go without? What's stopping you from buying a turkey and giving it to a part-timer in need?

This proves to me that the turkey was not a negligible gift. It was a significant gesture on the part of UPS. I loved the holiday turkey and looked forward to it every year.
Now its gone. Most of us thought it an insult to recieve a turkey. Many of us said: "give us a week's pay!" Nothing else will suffice.
I just want UPS to get back to where they can give us turkeys again and its managers wage increases. This is the UPS I want to work for. If they can't give us turkeys or raises to its managers, then something is not right.
When I get my turkey back then I will know everything is ok. If I don't, then there might be a real problem with the company.
However, my belief its the economy hurting our great company and once it recovers we will be back with a passion and burying Fed-ex and Fed-ex ground because UPS knows how to adjust to economic downturns better than Fed-Ex.
Let's re-visit this in 6 months.

that's not the point. This was a holiday tradition started by the founders of the company.
These traditions should stay.

That was an off-taste joke on my part.
Although a few years I did give a turkey and voucher away.

Forgot to add...The saftey committee(the group who orders pizza and sits around talking football and sex) was caught yesterday receiving their Dicks Sporting Goods gift cards from UPS. I just wonder how they get rewarded for doing nothing while we went an entire year with no injuries. I dont want "presents" but a simple. "Hey nice job" would be good to hear maybe...

It's their company, not yours, they deserve those gift cards. That's just one of the luxuries that comes with being management, put your letter of intent in. You sound jealous
