[QUOTE="IzzyTheNose, post: 1164563, member: 15470"] Patting myself on the back? Don't be a jerkoff. I'm not the one with my snout in the air. If he's so shaken by the huge disparity between [I]his[/I] payrate, and that of an actual skilled tradesman, then he should heed my advice, and defer any money he feels he hasn't earned, to someone he feels is more deserving of it. Only you and I both know he won't, because he's not [I]that[/I] friend'ing stupid. So In other words, he should just pipe down about it. Oh, and even though technology has "dumbed down" what we do, it hasn't made things ANY easier, which is what I believe you were trying to imply. All it means is that the company's demands for production have gone UP. Which means we all have to work harder, faster, and just a little bit more unsafe. Intimidation? Harassment? A high propensity for long-term and even permanent injuries? We got all of that! And did we mention you don't need any actual skills to work for UPS? That's right! None! Wanna a full-time job that'll pay you $90k a year? How 'bout benefits that you [I]don't[/I] have to pay for (...just don't get sick...hyuckhyuckhyuck..)? Sign right up! You'll just have to wait 10-15 years, and once you get in there, you can look forward to 60hr work weeks (...I hope you don't have a family hyuckhyuckhyuck...), and a whole new set of pains to endure! But you know what they say..."mo' money, mo' problems!" Simplify what we do all you want. One could argue the skill we possess, is having the fortitude to gut out a career at UPS. Which NO ONE here can tell me is a piece of cake. [/QUOTE]
