Do you have any idea how much personal information is on a DD 214? He or any other vet would be an idiot if they posted it here.
The OP has a valid point---kids today are lazy.
2 years of compulsory service for anyone 18 or older not going to college would do these kids a world of good.
I did chuckle when he seriously asked who he could report them to.

I saw a bunch of different types of employees in my 38 year career bumpin' off boxes. A lot of hard workers and a lot of scumbags. My advice would be to find your happy place. Your exemplary work habits will not go unnoticed. You sound like you're on a fast track to management, if that's what you want. When you put on that tie, you can tell the scofflaws and dirtbags to drop and give you 20! hoo-rah!

Maybe if you looked at it like you were helping the supes, instead of the perceived lazy, it would make you feel better?
In the end, however you make your peace with it, you are being paid by the hour to move packages at a pace you are comfortable with.
When I was young, dumb and invincible I didn't realize that a career at UPS is a marathon and not a sprint.
28 years later, I am feeling the residual effects of those days.

Thank you for your service.
Now that being said you're gonna meet all kinds of jerks at ups management and non management. Best advice is to focus on yourself do your job to the best of your abilities, if you worry about all the people you consider lazy you're just going to mentally friend yourself. Not everyone takes pride in working some will downright act as if the work we do is beneath them.

i had a rookie today that was just watching me take out bulk/irregs by myself while he was smoking and on his phone, he waits till im done
then goes to spa station. i started cussing him out told him next time he better help me with irregs or im gonna make his job as hard as i can
whenever i see him, he ended up apologizing and unloading for me. he was sent to help me out by a sup but decides its ok to take a little break when
he sees me doing it. i decided to be a dick when ppl are gonna do the same to me i dont care if you are management or union. i work at my own pace which
might be faster then most but i dont expect everyone to do the same but i would appreciate it if they at least tried.

We had this young strong buck driver in our building who always compared how good he was compared to the other 80%. I overheard him one day telling a full time sup that they should clone him and get rid of the other 80%. Fast forward to today and in the last 4 years he has been on disability 6 times. He is 8 years younger than me and I haven't been on disability in 20 years. You only have one back, so work safe if you want to last.

The "Me" generation in the United States is a term referring to the Baby Boomer generation and the self-involved qualities that some people associated with it.

Why are you working faster than the Normal 80%?
The union likes the 80%, thus UPS has to hire more people to pay more dues.
Listen you as Superman will only last so many years before UPS breaks you down...
The More you DO, the More they give you. Why would a Supervisor go create conflict telling someone slower to speed up, when they can tell you and you go do it????
DO a Fair days work for a Fairs days pay. Looks like you are doing more than Fair if you are working harder than the Majority of the building.....
Trust me I USE to me one of the Superman Guys, in the end when you have to have Surgeries(S), and barely can get out of bed, and UPS is still expecting you to perform your Superman status, you will be on here telling the new young kids, this exact thing.
UPS doe NOT care about you, there is another one to come take your place!

I'd rather work with someone lazy but willing to help others, than a fast-working but extremely selfish me-ster who doesn't help anyone else, ever. We've got a few of them..they're pieces of work.
