Why I joined UPS.

I joined because I heard they give out bumper stickers.

....And the free Christmas turkeys we used to get.

I really didn't join. 1975. I'm broke and out of work. Had a buddy working for some little trucking company called UPS. Had never heard of them.
Said he needed help for 2 months for Christmas. Want a job? Yeah, sure what the hell. What a lucky break. Ended up set for life. Go figure.

I joined so I could hand women my package.

I joined so I could give women my package in their back door.

I was born in 1975. Hmmmm, go figure.




I didn't "join". But in the end I like what I do and 90% actually don't mind coming to work and doing it on the daily. And the free benes and $80k/year sure helps.

​In 1975 UPS operated in 15 states, that was it. I remember thinking, "Why am I staying? No future here."

they might not have tuition reimbursement at your hub, but wait a few months when your insurance kicks in it will cover your bipolar medication.

Lol

I don't even work here, I just come in for the free harassment and the $3.00 United Way cookouts !!

1975 here as well. I was a 16 yr old junior in high school who needed funds to support his Motocross racing habit. A buddy of mine said, " I hear they're hiring down at UPS"; I went down, applied and within 2 weeks I was discovering the joys of unloading a trailer in 95 degree heat. What a wild and crazy ride it's been!
