[QUOTE="Jones, post: 660053, member: 4805"] I think I probably enjoyed the job more 10 years ago, I was more enthusiastic and cared more about UPS, and I think that was because we had a lot more flexibility to do things our own way. As long as you were getting the job done and weren't generating concerns you could run the route like your own little franchise. It made you feel like a contributor while remaining an individual. A lot of the technology that has been introduced since then has taken that away, bit by bit. SPARKS, EDD, GPS. Telematics will be the final piece in the puzzle that reduces this to an assembly line job, putting the square peg in the square hole under the unblinking gaze of the camera. I understand that from the company's perspective this is a good thing, but it's certainly made my job less fun. I'm going into this next decade very much looking forward to the day I can drop my papers. [/QUOTE]
