[QUOTE="helenofcalifornia, post: 618542, member: 5170"] NEVER said I crap on the customer!! I take pride in working for the UPS that stood for service. My customers will tell you the same. I take issue with all the latest, must haves, gotta do, "two week plans" that are of the utmost urgency, the sky is falling, sign this paper so that you acknowledge what we are saying, etc., that are completely forgotten when the next, newest, brightest, "two week plan" comes around. (long sentence) I tired of all the crap that is coming down on us and that UPS appears to have no regard for its workers anymore. Will it get better when the economy comes back? Hopefully. Realistically, no. It will never go back to normal. Our preload is running numbers that warranted 35-36 trucks last year. We are now sending out 32-33. Same volume, three less trucks. Why? Drivers still laid off that could be working so that other drivers could take a day off. No, ain't gonna happen. Anymore than 3 sick days in 6 months will get you a warning letter. Are you kidding me??? Why do we get nine sick days a year than if we can't take them without a warning letter issued? And for God's sake, take your hour lunch with your ton of businesses you have now on your route. And expect to grovel when asking for a half hour so you can finish your business before pickups start. And don't even let me start on the uniforms we can't order. Yeah, I am a little teed off. And I really don't care anymore. But I DO care about my customers and would never sabotage my relationship with them. I am ssooooo glad I am not a rookie starting out; they will never know the "old" UPS where it was actually fun to come to work. Now, I am just a number on a piece of paper that is sometimes circled or underlined in the morning when I get in. Who cares. Rant, rant, rant! [/QUOTE]
