[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 838780, member: 5485"] When I first started working here I used to be really proud to tell anyone and everyone I met that I worked at UPS!! I saw different factors in my life mostly as they related to and revolved around my attainment of such an awesome opportunity of landing the job. As time has gone on, the bright luster has worn dull and the kudos rendered as meaningless as the criticisms. I can't fully claim to be immune to the innuendo that I perform at something less than superhuman, or that sometimes I don't feel a sense of pride from doing what I thought our jobs used to be about, but honestly mostly I just focus on my "afterlife". Looking forward to many years (hopefully) of productive life remembering this experience as a tiny blip on the larger radar that includes many other far more significant landmarks. Similar to the way I remember high school, a looooooooooong time ago, and less significant each year. Yes I will take away some things when I retire, but while I am still here at UPS, I will focus on making the ridiculous ideas of small minded, power tripping, wanna be respected for my position and not my actions folks, a laughable moment in the footnote of what this tiny slice of time will eventually be reduced to.
