[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 2384276, member: 52145"] Congratulations for making the life change . Most people don't have the guts to leave after they have put in so much time. They think it's an investment that they can't walk away from. Then instead of being miserable for 12 years , they are miserable for 35. It seems that all big corporation companies are pretty close to the same. I worked at UPS for over 20 years. When I started the old timers were telling me stories about the good ol days . Company BBQ's , drinking at the bar with the bosses and everyone knew each others families and supported each other. Even 20-25 years ago I really didn't see much of that . Then UPS went public and it has been downhill ever since. I wasn't thrilled with the bosses and management style but I don't remember ever being miserable. I was lucky to be a feeder driver so that may be the difference. The best revenge to me was living well. I saved and saved and invested as much money as I could. We lived on the base pay for expenses and invested all the overtime . I averaged 55-60 hours a week the last 10 years because they hated hiring new drivers. We paid off the house 7 years early and with a lot of hard work and planning we retired 6- 7 years early. I'm glad you're happy and followed your gut feelings to get out before the job destroyed you.
