[QUOTE="fieldhand49, post: 307261, member: 4959"] Best job I ever had. Best company I ever worked for. I started in 1968. Part timer making $3.54 per hour. All my other jobs before UPS paid $1.00 to $1.10 per hour. I was part time make more than most people working full time. It was hard work but I came out of the lettuce fields of California. Working at UPS was easy compared to the hot, dirty, wet, and cold jobs in the produce fields. No unions to represent the workers in the fields then. No OSHA, the bosses didn't care if you had water, bathroom facilities. I thought UPS was crazy to pay me that much money to load trailers. I was glad to work my a** off for them. I took everything they wanted to give me. It also gave me the opportunity to go to college. This was before UPS offered college tuition. I went because I wanted to. When I graduated, UPS offered me a fulltime job. I was a full time preloader, a driver, a clerk, I even worked in the small hub when they didn't have enough loaders. In 1975 I was making more money than my mom and dad together. That year UPS offered my a management job. I took it and a small cut in pay. Best move I ever made. I had many management jobs over my career. All were great. Hard work, you better believe it. I held myself accountable and the people that worked for me accountable to do the best job we could. I left UPS in 1995. I invested in the company as much as I could afford. My investments paid off handsomely. So did my other investment, thanks to the income I earned from UPS. Is it the best company ever. For me the answer is YES. [/QUOTE]
