I always wondered why our center never took advantage of more socializing away from work.

Here is why. We fall into two categories -1. older employers with families that work too much overtime and want to spend more time with their families away from work. And, 2. younger employees without dependants that want to work as much overtime as possible.

I'm 35 with three kids and have been with UPS for 14 years. I now fall into the 1st category, and used to be in the 2nd. I really enjoy the company of most of my co-workers, but don't have the time to socialize with them. I'd love to but got lots to do. I try to get together with them for luch as a substite probably more than I should.

Not really. There are a few that refer to the main highway into Hershey as that ut we don't as locals

No picnics, but they did hand out apple juice, and fruit snacks in the morning a few weeks ago...
