[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 812160, member: 484"] Hellfire, thank you so much for your being honest. All except for the bolded part. Its not your hatred for the job, its that you want to do things your way and not follow the rules. Ladies and gents, here is a prime example of why UPS puts 12 hours of work on a route. They know that you will work extra hard to get in 5 minutes earlier, or in HF's case, run like a lunatic and deliver 12 hours in 8.5. Over my years, I have represented people like this many times at hearings. He cant be told what to do by anyone. This is also why HF hates everything about his job. And now that he has shown UPS what he can do, they will expect it from him in the future. Regardless of his health or age. So the real reason you hate everything about your job is because you (HF) have made it what it is. But beyond that, it is cheaper for UPS to pay you $50 bucks an hour than to put another driver on road, by the time you add in the extra bennies paid to that driver and the cost of another vehicle on road. It was also common knowledge when you accepted the position, that overtime was a way of life at UPS. Always has been, always will be. I never liked the time away from the family, but sometimes you have to make choices. You made yours, deal with it. d [/QUOTE]
