How the heck do you misspell Delaware; especially when you live there?

Now i dont know if have the people with over 20 years even know drivers names. The militancy is gone from most drivers. lets stop bitching and do the job exactly the way they want. It is hard to get used to doing everything by the book,but we have to, we need to realize that we have say 80 drivers for 3 sups and a manager. burry the with their own rules. You know ive noticed that management sticks together no matter what. no more me,me,me.  | Do I look afraid...Well Do I Punk? | |

Drive for 20 -30 years then maybe you would feel the way I did before I retired.. Guys like you jump into management because you couldn't do the job or you have an ego problem.
I just hope UPS survives so my pension checks don't bounce. I have seen Ups sink lower and lower in peoples opinions over the years, and I blame management for it.. The Drivers made this company..Not the Knuckleheads pushing charts and #'s.. Charts and #'s don't deliver pkgs and represent UPS..We Do !! And I DID!!!!!!!!!!!! | I have 14 left to retire and You are so right. I may be a little unhappy with some if the checks are bouncing by then. | |

Remember, when you feel compelled to reply to a poster, they are controlling you.
That is natural but be aware of this when you react.

You have to wonder how UPS will be in 14 years from now. The way they do things and still make money amazes me. Look around your center.. Look at the Rookies. That is the future of UPS. Scary Huh?????????  | |

Be glad your out!! | I bought a belt buckle one time at a flea market with the old shield. I wore it quite a bit untill someone decided I was "Out of Uniform"..So I had to take it off. I think this was back in the late 80's. Most recently after I came off the road I was at the customer counter for 8 years. When I was hired in 81 I had a few tatoos on my arms. It was probably my last year at the counter when Tatoos were the target of drivers.
I was told to cover mine up..I did.. I taped a womens monthly pad on my arm at the counter..I busted them back.. It was covered.. When things got slow in the bldg they have to busy themselves busting us.... | |

When I started Ups it was owned by it's managers and managed by it'owners. How things have changed  | |
