[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 882034, member: 7966"] The people I report to already do that and I have no plans to retire anytime soon (what's up with that?). A person retiring with 25 years or more in my function are recognized very well. And from what I can see, in the surrounding functions/departments as well. I think you are asking me to put myself in the position of a driver that has worked for UPS for 37 years and did not get any recognition ... I will try. Yeah, I would feel a bit jaded and maybe bitter but I would not feel surprised. I would remember the days back when before 1997 that when a driver retired, we actually would have an after hours retirement party for that driver (maybe a Saturday BBQ) and 4 or 5 drivers would come by and take 7, 8 or 10 stops each from the driver and management would turn a blind eye to it. I remember when the BA would come by from the Union and thank the driver prior to start time and the PCM and I remember when the driver would say a few words about his/her (okay it was a he) time at UPS. I have lots of good memories of the time when I was a driver and the couple of people that retired and these are also memories I have when I was a center manager and in operations management and a driver retired. I guess I am an Old-Timer or a Dinosaur. [/QUOTE]
