[QUOTE="BrownBlackandBlue, post: 154466, member: 6940"] I rememeber a time when I had fun when I came to work. We shot from the hip, rose to any challenge, and had a real swagger to our step. While I don't dread coming to work (presently; there have been times that I have), it certainly is not what I look forward to. So I ask myself, have I changed or has the company changed? I have to think it is some of each. Those wild west-like times, I was young and single and loved a challenge above everything else. And UPS was always a challenge. Now I'm older, I have a family and love time with them more than a challenge. The challenge is balancing both. From the other perspective, shooting form the hip was a neccessary and admired trait of a good operator. We worked hard but we played hard too, even at work. There has always been pressure at UPS, but there used to be a time that you felt what you were doing was good enough. Now there is never a time when you are good enough. Even though we turn numbers undreamed of 15 years ago, we bear the weight of it not being enough to stop the sinking of our stock, save our dwindling MIP, keeping our benefits affordable. I want my pride back. I want to proudly say I work for UPS, Yeah its tough, but I have what it takes. I am a member of the best team there is, bar none. I want to be proud of what I accomplish, I don't always want to be only as good as yesterday. Thats what I want back from the public shareholder. [/QUOTE]
