[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 427842, member: 4653"] I apologize to browncafe but I'm standing on my soapbox in this post. The Turkey was a bonus and the $15 gift card is a bonus. If you asked me, I could care less about either one this year. The only thing I care about is my job. Turkeys, giftcards, and stock bonuses (where applicable) are exactly what they are-bonuses. Thanksgiving is 2 weeks away. It is a holiday to give thanks for what we have. I will tell every employee at UPS "You have many things to be thankful for". Does anyone disagree that you have a job that pays well with insurance benefits? I will also add that layoffs at UPS may happen but it will be temporarily. You will eventually get your job back sooner rather than later. I would rather have UPS cut the bonus if it would save jobs. We are very lucky to work for a company like UPS when the economic climate is what we are experiencing now and will probably get worse. I get angry at UPS management. I think I will swallow my anger for the forseeable future and be very happy when I'm over-dispacthed. I will actually welcome it becuase its money in my pocket in tough times. I used to get angry that I was over-dispatched 2-3 days a week and not recieve help but was required to take 10 stops when I was at the lower end of my dispatch range. When I think about it, its such a trivial response to a trivial matter. Most of our gripes are when you look at "The Big Picture" It can become a problem though. A "normal dispatch" for a UPS driver is a lot of work. When we are over-dispatched day after day it takes its toll on us. That was my last complaint. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, Brownie:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
