[QUOTE="Xexys, post: 1140729, member: 47259"] You speak of damaged packages. I worked at the Meadowlands facility as a clerk for 2 and a half years and that's all I did was repack damage packages and find the recipients of lost labeled packages. It took half my day to do the repacking and this was just from one "shoot". The management didn't even care if I couldn't find all the items or even if I was putting the correct items back in the boxes. It was and probably still is horrendous. I had a very hard time working and believing that I was doing the right thing. Morale is non-existant at UPS. I started in the early 80's and the job was actually fun back then. The company made so much money off our backs they were swimming in it. The middle 80's saw a boom in new hires that has never been duplicated. Internet sales from QVC and HSN were filling the trucks like mad. As the years went on the company got worse and worse.
