[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 439909, member: 484"] i chose to start a new thread on this subject, because jim's thread was not the place, imho. there were several posters that posted their thoughts about it just being a job posted by someone that has allegedly worked about a year at ups and this was by someone else that has been around a while. it is my opinion that yes, it is a job. but to the majority, it is so much more than even a job or a career. it is a lifestyle. in a way, the same saying that once a marine, always a marine......once a upsman, always a upsman. while the job is not brain surgery, it is complex, demanding and very physical. not a job for just anyone. and as red stated, many of us paid a stiff price to be able to don those browns for the first time and go hit the road. there is a lot of pride that the vast majority of ups personnel have. pride in a tradition of honor, service, dependability just to mention a few. that pride runs deep, becoming part of the soul. when something happens, and a driver is fired for dishonesty, something happens on the inside. shame, embarrassment, self hatred, and on and on. and there is also a furious anger, one of betrayal by those he was "trying to help out", that have now turned on him, and him alone. so red, i know you get it. but there are a bunch of "experts" out there that dont. d [/QUOTE]
