Baba that's sad. Someone needed a kick in the pants!
Scratch, my handwriting is why they invented DIAD.

For my 30 years of service award, I got a Toro self propelled lawn mower and a plaque. Now you just get the plaque. Whatever happened to really appreciating a guy's lifetime of service?

We recognize our people on service anniversaries for their commitment and dedication. Employees celebrating milestone anniversaries 5, 10, and 15 receive a certificate on their anniversary date. Additionally, UPS people reaching plateau years 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and above are recognized with a plaque on Founders’ Day.

A one-time gift selection is available to commemorate the 25-year anniversary.

All i got at 35 years was a plaque. So I assume service awards went the same way as safety awards and turkeys.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

Yes. I was just thinking the same for my 25th

 

[Packmule]

Must have changed in the last 7 years. Mower isn't any older than that. If it was my 25 it'd be 17 years old and probably ready to replace.
Which is why I posted it on whatever happened.

No joke...
I got a warning letter on my 30 year anniversary of service/internment.
Yellow sticky on my DIAD saying "your plaque is on the floor below". No presentation, nothing.

That's logistics.

I was in the "250 Club" back when we had paper delivery records, this is my t-shirt. This meant that I had neat sheet writing skills, they could read my records easily for over 250 stops.

I've never heard of that club. I'm a member of the mile high club--does that count?[/QUOTE]
I'm a member of the club that's gone number 2 on an airplane club twice.

Package cars with only 5 digits in the ID number instead of 6

Removeable jumpseats that attached to the bulkhead where the current, permanent ones are mounted. Each center only had one or two so quite frequently during an OJS your supervisor would just stand there all day. Peak helpers got to stand all day too. No seatbelts, so if you hit the brakes hard they would faceplant the windshield.

Center Managers that chain-smoked in their offices.

AOD's and yellow call tags.

When we had a wild cat strike the second they raised the over 70 weight to 150. They had to use another union member to off load. I think it was 1988??? Well the union ended up conceding on that too. Wow! We just keep losing stuff

Is that no longer in the contract?

Union conceded nothing. Still in the contract, Article 44 National Masters. Up to the members to request assistance.

Easier for all involved to just "man up" and deliver it yourself.

Yeah! They bounce

What if you are a "man" with a bad back? Or a 105 lb woman? Im glad the language is there.

I remember not having Diads, pagers or cell phones. Once you left the building you were totally on your own.
