There is a sense of entitlement among union members that we deserve as much as we can get for as little as we can get away with.
I checked the IP address of the OP and this is the only poster from this IP. I would think if you were looking for another persona who is multi-BC name it would be the duckguy. Upstate is not upssocks either.I wouldn't be surprised if the op is just another of upstate's freakish personalities like upssocks.
Technically speaking the IP address being different only proves the posts are not coming from the same computer on the same internet provider. At one time I had both a broadband connection and a dial up connect available to me. I could have even posted with two different IPs from the same computer.I checked the IP address of the OP and this is the only poster from this IP.

I'm a loader and a college student and work a second job for summer. I've been loading for a year. I peak at 650 hourly pph and 550 sustained pph throughout a night, provided we're flowing consistently. I've ranked in the top ten in my hub for weekly misload frequency/packages scanned at least 15 times this year and got rank one this week. I'm 0 for 30,000+ for the past five weeks and recently got a 100% load quality audit. I'm also asthmatic and it took me around a month and a half to build up the stamina to get 300 pph when i started (not a 'natural athlete', didn't play sports in high school), I'm majoring in physics (i'm a badass nerd), and I binge drink every weekend and occasionally take up offers for free drugs ^_^ (do not live in a cave).
I don't get what's up with all the bitching in these forums. Like, seriously. I like loading. It's fun and a competitive outlet. Why does it seem like everyone on this website (99% of which are union employees?) use it as a means of expressing their proletarian woes and managerial exploitations? The amount of constructive, positive, or even interesting material contained in these forums is lower than the daily calorie intake of an impoverished African child.
So like, is this website for drivers who have taken UPS as a career path, have done the same thing for five trillion years and come home every night to complain on these forums? ffs, what do you expect out of a job that pays $70,000-$90,000 a year - the average salary for a physics major after obtaining a bachelors - that requires no substantial education whatsoever? Help me out here.

Not saying this is happening, just saying it is possible.

..There is a sense of entitlement among union members that we deserve as much as we can get for as little as we can get away with.
Its unfortunate when a person who is otherwise intelligent and well-spoken buys into such uninformed and ignrorant stereotypes.
Anyone who works for UPS (or just about any blue collar job for that matter) today owes a debt of gratitude to the "joe unions" of the past. They walked picket lines and fought and bled and even died for radical, "entitlement" based concepts such as the 40 hr workweek, overtime, sick pay, lunch breaks, and a living wage that they could support a family on.
Its too bad that so many of those "joe unions" would fail to live up to the high standards of excellence and intellect that would be placed upon them by some of the very same people who currently benefit from the sacrifices that they made.
You are perfect and we are mere mortals. I bow to your astonishing prowess. No one has ever been as good as you. You are awesome. Please.

Couldnt agree more with that sober.
People in the past would work 12 hours, with no breaks, lunches. Would be pushed into working weekends, no benefits and a poor wage. Safety was a concern too those days. People would be subject to work in places where arms and legs would be ripped off.
UPS is different from most jobs today. Many people consider standing behind a register of sitting at a desk all day a "real" job, I dont think so. A real job to me is where someone sweats and toils at a given task. To the energy lost doing long and heavy work. What people wont consider work nowadays.
Work with your mind, hands, feet and soul each and every day, see how that works out for you time and time again.
True, on the surface. If the person was traveling then it is entirely possible. There are anonymity sites but again those are well known. The OP did not go through an anonymizer.Technically speaking the IP address being different only proves the posts are not coming from the same computer on the same internet provider.
