Happy Founders Day

98 years and counting.

While we all grumble about our job, and often rightfully so, We owe a very good living to Jim Casey and company for starting with virtually nothing and creating one of the strongest companies in the world. Much of it thanks to those of us on this web site.

Congratulations to all of you for working so hard to make us the best.

(But I can't wait to retire!)

And now I'm on my way out the door to Atlanta. Maybe I'll see if I can find the National H.Q. Probably behind a barb wire fence and 12 foot walls.

couldn't find a birthday cake among the icons, so the package car will have to do.

Happy Birthday, UPS !!

Maybe I should run down to my old hub and cop a burger.

Was it founder's day today? No mention of it in my building.

The 28th if I remember correctly.

Got a donut today...
otherwise no mention....

wow this sucks I am on vacation, missed all of the festivities...

Calender shows the 28th, so far no mention of it at our building...

I truly hope this thread does not run into more gripes about UPS. Anniversary dates of the start of such a company as this one deserves some reflections from all of us. We work (or worked) here for years and it should be a source of pride that our efforts have made UPS what it is today.
Sunday will be the actual date. Hope you will spend a moment between now and then and think of Jim Casey and all the other people who made us a world leader in the transportaion business.

Have a good day...every day

Founders day is August 28, which this year falls on a Sunday. Formal activities planned for Monday the 29th.

Founders day 2007: 100 years of service: 1 year till the worst strike in UPS history; The date the re-branding (the new logo with the swish) MUST be completed by as told to us at the unvailing. What a great company.

What in the world does that mean?

Founder's Day activities first thing Monday morning.

I miss the trinkets we used to get....anybody remember those? I collected them (of course!).

Do you still have the tree? (Planted somewhere, I hope).

I did plant the tree.....wow, had forgotten about that one.

I've moved since then....now I'll have to go look!

Is it far? I'd love to know how tall it is now. Had to be about 12 years ago we got those. Mine didn't survive.

Not too far.....I'll try to swing by there this week. I'm curious now!

Not one mention of Founders Day here.

We got a box of donuts at the PCM. I dunno, I never really cared about founder's day that much anyway, I'm only here for a paycheck and quite frankly, if I wasn't working here I would just be working somewhere else. I do remember when the company made a much bigger deal about it though, what with the catered breakfast and little model package cars and plaques for all the drivers. That stuff was nice, but I don't know that it made much of a difference in the long run.

I spent the meeting loading my truck,they asked me to go on the clock,freddy the preloader called in on Monday.I dont like cake anyways.
I wonder what they`ll do for #100? I wish Jim Casey was around to call the shots.

We celebrated Founders Day this morning, 9/1/05.

I guess with all the missed pieces and late air why not observe Founder's Day 4 days late.

we did nothing in our center, except mention it. WOOT WOOT
