DELACROIX
In the Spirit of Honore' Daumier
They’ve been working PVD’s since November 1st, ran 47 of them today. After 4 years of running them, UPS has definitely worked out a lot of the kinks. Guys have seriously gone from bitching about excessive overtime to an excessive amount of unpaid bills. We all knew this was coming, this is the new UPS.
At one time there was a concept called “Living within your means” . We have way too many members that have set their standards relying on a 50 or 60 hour paycheck.
I rely totally on a 40 hour workweek, refuse any overtime. Been there and done with it, all this excessive OT has a price and will eventually takes it’s toll on your health and family. Choose your poison.
Remember everyone that this is a marathon not a sprint. Every pension and health benefit plan calculates attrition, the Company has already figured out just how many of us will be crossing that retirement finish line.
So go on and work that 60 hour workweek and just ignore the chances of permanent disability or troubles at home. Sell that big truck get rid of that boat or Harley and start sleeping well at night again... don’t end up like one of them.. the ones who brag about clearing 120,000 as they slowly start to limp to work.
