[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 617327, member: 5485"] When I started 20 years ago, we still had a driver sort and load operation in our then 18 - 20 car center. Now we have the preload, edd, ods-e, micro micro management and 13-14 cars. We are no longer the bunch of half to 3/4 happy loader/drivers that knew each other pretty good and enjoyed showing up each and every day to do the job that was mostly what we made of it, good or bad, life was good. Now we just show up, do it, and leave. Like cheap dates. Now with all the tech advancements, we only briefly interact in the AM, hit the road and really have lost touch with each other by and large. It's funny how what UPS has been trying to do for years is to create a workforce that is bland and devoid of any personality and just robotically go out there and do the methods. They have now gotten pretty close to that, but as a downside no one cares about each other as much so all the "teamwork" days are looong gone bye bye. Teamwork built UPS, lack of it cannot be a healthy thing for the future. Be careful what you wish for, you may get your robots.:dissapointed: Yes the younger drivers are faster than the older ones, just like we were faster than our predecessors, but without the advantage of learned camaraderie. Yes it's me-me-me-me, young and old alike nowadays. [/QUOTE]
