Love connections? Or lust connections? There is a difference.

Here's a question for everyone. How many people would recommend working at UPS to a family member? My answer would be 10-20 years ago, yes. Today, no.

Yes that was the old rule, but now it seems that with the shortage of willing applicants those rules got thrown to the wayside.

So you're saying UPS adjusts rules to fit their needs?

Back when any job at UPS was coveted people would line up around the block. Now you scrape the bottom of the barrel and even the sludge says no thanks. Out of necessity we had to start allowing family members to be hired. I told my kids I could get them in but they would rather flip burgers for almost the same wage and better hours.
i agree with you. i would have rocommended ups over 10 years ago but not now. different company. i wouldn't do that to my worse enemy!
We've had a preloader and driver get married, still in same building. In fact, I believe she sometimes loads his truck.
Feeder driver's daughter was hired and scooped quickly into pt management.
Another driver's son came and made it about two weeks before quitting.
The naughty love-affair management folks just get moved to a different building.

Ok, granted that UPS is not your cradle to grave parental company it used to be. UPS has been very upfront about that and encourages UPSers to take control and assume responsibility for their retirement and lives in general.
UPS is still a good solid company to work at with good benefits and good pay (especially for union workers).
I would recommend UPS to any hard working people I know, including relatives.

I would be more concerned about recommending my relatives to UPS! Everytime I go to a family gathering, I come away feeling better about myself. LOL

LOLOLOLOL that's to good Hoax, Last night went out to a local hang out I guess heck I've never been before. I set back and watched people and laughed my tale off at all of these idiots.When I was hired at UPS in 1999 I was almost not given the job because I was honest when I was asked if I had family member working there. I told the HR gentlemen my step-mother has a son whom I believed was a driver heck I wasn't even sure I never spoke to him didn't know much about him. When he said he wasn't sure he would have to look into if that would disqualify me. Wow, I responded by saying I didn't even have to even tell you sir, he's not a relative.
IMO I haven't had good outcomes with family members working in the same shift or at all for that matter. Of coarse I don't believe all are bad but for the situations thus far ?????
